I get nightmares, like really bad nightmares that ruin the rest of my day because i believe they will happen. All I really want is to sleep and have no dreams at all. Anyways, anyone up?

Christmas stress is getting to me. Iām reliving old childhood abuse every time I close my eyes. Have been actively avoiding sleep.

Wow, im really sorry @shutterbug , trauma is no easy ride. How have you been handling it so far?
@waffles , are you taking your meds at the exact same time every day?
If I donāt do that, I run into trouble with vivid dreams etc. (Iām on Abilify)
Maybe the lithium is a 30 minute difference in the morning. But most of them are kept at around the same time. I think im getting too overly religious and its effecting me. I had religious related ptsd before, and recently have gotten back into the church. I think thats the culprit.

The character Mrs. Which explains the concept by folding a piece of fabric (her skirt) to bring two points together, illustrating how the shortest distance between two points is not a straight line, but a āwrinkle in timeā.

Badly. Havenāt been stress eating or screamed at anyone other than a bad driver who nearly ran me down in a parking lot, so thereās my win for the day. I canāt keep avoiding sleep, it makes my positives worse and that grinds at my insight.

Did you have any med changes recently that occurred around the time the nightmares started?
I remember seroquel really gave me vivid and horrific nightmares.

I think youre absolutely right. Balancing things out wonāt hurt.
@shutterbug there you go, man. Its the small winsā¦ im just really sorry you went through so much that it impacts you this hard. How are you doing this evening; Its getting darker and its almost night time.
@everhopeful i started lithium recently for the first time 300mg. I had bad insomnia due to it.

Science without religion is lame. Religion without science is blind.

Yeah, i noticed how ridiculous the mind of mine gets if i dont balance things out. Having friends who have no border are no help, so i just stopped interacting as much. Thank you, Zoe and freelunch i feel like i can breath a little better
