When you cant sleep

I wake everynight to my nightmares, how do i get help. My nightmares of my past haunt me, this is all I think about

thanks anywayz, i cant stop thinking about it, and i cant sleep so this is beginning to bother me

To defeat those kinds of demons, you need to face the fear and talk to someone about it. Conquer it with knowledge and understanding. That and sleeping pills... But those can be addicting O.O , so go with the first option before resorting to tranquilizer drugs.

already have

thats the problem i didnt want to talk to anyone about it. the police or my mom, yet Im am forced too one for time. I have been forced everytime, and now im getting worse. I really have no idea what to do

ok well sleeping pills dont even work for me so dont try them anyway..not good for you.
but i cant sleep either...i just cant fall to sleep and when i do i always wake up and it's uneasy so i dont have any advice ot give you but just wondering the same question
take care x x x

i can sleep i just wake up a half an hour in sweat b/c of my nightmares

can i ask what ur nightmares are about??

or not:S!!

Do what Taylor said - write them down when you wake from them and try to sleep [try putting on headphones and listening to your favorite music] Then in the morning when you wake up, read what you wrote and analyse it. What do you think is causing it? What does it mean to you? Think on these questions and ask friends for help on it. It can put your mind at ease and you'll be able to sleep again. Also, don't eat anything with sugar, caffeene or spicy things in it within three hours of bed time, because that can disrupt chemicals in your body and cause ditortions in the mind - which ultimately end up as your worries manifested into an entity known as the nightmare. Just try to relax and put it out of your mind. Go to sleep with happy thoughts and you should be okay. Post again tomorrow and tell me how you're doing. [I'll be on in the afternoon/evening] If there's still no progress, I'll see what else I can think of. Take care and good night.

consult a doctor

yeh same!! or chronic faitgue syndrome and i looked up all the symptoms and shit and i have a lot of them except for the fact that my fatigue sint to the point where i can't do anything so i really dont know!!

I can't really offer any help sorry! I did have insomnia but I eventually worked through it by just ignoring it mainly and not letting it bother me. As for the dreams I've got no idea! Again I'm sorry :)

I don't have nightmares, but hallucinations. It's weird, I get them at least twice a week and its horrible!

"thats the problem i didnt want to talk to anyone about it. the police or my mom,"

I don't want to sound rude, but what can the police do about a nightmare? Call the Ghostbusters?

I think those are more or less night terrors, or repressed memories. and the more you talk about it, the better you'll be able to sleep. of course, you could pull a fight club and force yourself to cry to get yourself to go to sleep. um, I don't really know if that works.

I'm an insomniac. not because I have nightmares, but, well, I'm not a control freak. I'm a control-enthusiast.

Unprotected Lover...U r not alone...

Exibit A: me...I have the same prob. except these nightmares r not memories, but a twisted images as well as gore blood suffering, and in almost every single nightmare, death....I as well have hallucinations, I tried writing my dreams down...but no succes...all my poems basically comes from these nightmares...and I dont have dreams...I have nightmares...oye...im quiet pathetic spilling this all out and no succes...huh?

Nothing is really helping. i have tried. and yes they probably are night terrors. the thing with the police is because its a piece of my recent past that the police had to get involved in. I didnt want to tell the police what happened or my mom, what happened is what my nightmares or night terrors are about. thanks for your advice

Maybe, it's because you regret something deeply. This happened to me when I stole my dad's credit card and used it... it was terrible... I couldn't sleep, and like three days after I got a terrible 103.6 fever.

Manipulated Child

I actually got like 2 hours of sleep last night. but yeah I think its getting better, i guess it was because i needed to talk to someone but not just anyone but hopefully now it'll get better

well now i get like once or twice a night, not as bad eirther, but thats what happened last time and they got stronger, plus im having weird dreams of me and my b/f breaking up
