Emberfrost12 Posted June 5, 2022 Share Posted June 5, 2022 I've been having trouble making myself sleep lately, because of a recurring nightmare that just hurts so much. The worst part about the nightmare is that it could come true at any time. It's awful, and the nightmare starts from the moment I close my eyes-not even when I'm asleep- to a while after I've woken up. I've been avoiding going to sleep because of it and I don't know what to do. MultiQuote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can I ask what the nightmares are about if you feel comfortable sharing? We can chat via DM if you'd prefer.

And after I wake up, it just hovers in my brain. MultiQuote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emberfrost12 Posted June 8, 2022 Author Share Posted June 8, 2022 My mom and I have been fighting a lot, I guess that may have something to do with it? And I've always had a fear of rejection. MultiQuote Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
