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 sleep with the computer on... and the more scared i am, the brighter the screensaver i pick. so on really bad nights it's a babypink screen with yellow snowflakes falling.

generally, i try not to sleep if i can help it. i know it's not too healthy, but i have this cycle:

1.- i have nightmares one night
2.- next day. i'm so worried that i will have them again that my anxiety levels get skyhigh
3.- high anxiety makes me have worse nightmares
4.- goto 2.-

so on bad weeks i sleep like 12 hours every two or three days. i do it that way so i fall asleep the second i put my head on the pillow and don't have to think about anything.

currently working on it.
