Notices

Welcome to PTSD Forum. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a life threatening, debilitating disorder that can break down a sufferer’s body through anxiety and stress. Further it poses a significant suicide risk resulting from the brains neurological imbalance and chemical depression. Sufferers often live in denial, thus this community is aimed at helping PTSD sufferers help themselves through others experiences, guidance and education. We are here for the sufferer, spouse and families surrounding PTSD. Spouses and family are too often forgotten in this equation, and often they receive all the worst that PTSD has to offer. If you're involved in any way with PTSD, get registered and help yourself now.

Non-active members will eventually be deleted. If you are not a sufferer, carer or someone within the mental health industry, and active, then there is little reason for you to be a member of this forum. Non-active members with zero posts are deleted periodically during the year.

I concur.... your nightmares are only a reflection of a deeper feeling. Identify the feeling/s and work through them, as they are what causes the nightmares. Nightmares for a better term are only a symptom of a deeper problem. You cannot fix the symptom, only the cause.

Same for me. There seems to be an almost limitless supply of ways that my body and mind now tell me that my stress levels are too high. The nightmares are the worst. Nothing like bad dreams and lack of sleep for dealing with the next day.

Figuring out what is causing my stress levels to rise and dealing with it/them (writing it out, talking, working it out in my mind, etc.) is the only way I've found to get them to go away and let me sleep.
