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? ---

@waffles , are you taking your meds at the exact same time every day? If I donā€™t do that, I run into trouble with vivid dreams etc. (Iā€™m 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 ā€œwrinkle in timeā€. ---

> [@waffles](#): > > How have you been handling it so far? Badly. Havenā€™t been stress eating or screamed at anyone other than a bad driver who nearly ran me down in a parking lot, so thereā€™s my win for the day. I canā€™t 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 wonā€™t 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. ---

Yea i would say this is really good advice. I do the same. Science without religion is lame. Religion without science is blind. Some1 famous said that. ---

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 [Next page](https://schizophreniasupport.discourse.group/t/i-dont-want-to-go-to-sleep/659.md?page=2)
