So I didn't post yesterday because it was super hot and I really didn't feel to great as did a lot of people but today I am going to blog about night terrors/nightmares. Reason for me blogging about this today is because I just had one early this morning and a lot of people with PTSD get nightmares or night terrors that usually have to do with there trauma my rarely do instead I have night terrors about being kidnapped or people having guns and shooting at me or other people its usually being at the wrong place at the wrong time. This mornings tho takes the cake on my night terrors seriously because it felt super real. Do you ever experience your nightmares/night terrors as if they are happening? Will if you don't your pretty lucky but I am pretty sure everyone does at some point but I do quite a bit. If you have ever experienced something like this where it felt super real go ahead and tell me about it if you want. Because like I said before I am looking for liked mined people who experience similar events to me. Okay so this morning I am sleeping and don't realize I am because I am a wake and in this nightmare and it feels real so I don't even think about trying to remind myself I will wake up and be fine to me its I have to get away from these bad men and find help so that these 2 girls who are in the van with me can get helped as well. I keep trying to escape and every time I try they catch me again. It was really scary and I know people say its because of the movies you watch will I didn't watch nothing to this effect. So all I know is it really scared me so much so when I woke up it took me a minute to remember where I was. This happens a lot when I have nightmares that I can remember I wake up confused but it usually goes away pretty quickly but sometimes I will wake up and think I am still in the nightmare even though it didn't take place in my house I sometimes think someone put me back in my bed because I passed out and I can sometimes be paranoid and not be able to sleep and nothing can calm me usually expect my husband or mom or having someone in the room because when I get paranoid its pretty bad and pretty sad as well. But I am just curious if any of my readers have nightmares that feel real and experience what I just describe? Will that's all for today hope your enjoy my blog so far and let me know how I am doing. Thank you!

I'm not sure if you're even still monitoring this post or not, but I have struggled with night terrors my entire life. It usually only happens to kids but I never grew out of it. I still wake up sweating and out of breath and ready to fight. I have actually punched people in my sleep! I don't remember ever doing it but my family always makes fun of me and says "If you're going to wake her up, make sure you do it with a 10ft pole!"

Hi Raven I do still come on her just not a whole ton to write because I figured no one read my post so just post when I can! I am so sorry to hear that your family makes fun of you! I have been pretty lucky not to experience night terrors but I have realistic nightmares from time to time and have been told I talk in my sleep sometimes! I was recently diagnosed with my PTSD like about 3 years ago or so! It got really bad when my father passed and had to be around my abuser! I don't know your whole situation and I don't want you to post it for the world to see either! I also know how you feel about feeling like it will never go away and unfortunately it won't but the good news is we can do things to help improve it and improve our way of life! I don't know if you have good people around you to talk to or not but if not let me know and I would be more then happy to give you my personal email and we could talk that way! Its hard to live daily and normal with PTSD or any mental illness but we will have good days and bad days which you probably know! Your also fine blowing my stuff up! Happy to know someone reads it besides my close friend!
