I suffered night terrors every night from the time I left Provo Canyon School until I was about 25 years old. I still get them from time to time. Usually only if I'm in an unfamiliar environment (i.e. hotel, away from home, etc.). I also still get them when I've had a high anxiety day or some minor PTSD episode. It seems a lot of survivors have night terrors. It's not unusual. I think it will pass if you find a way to feel safe in your home again. It's a tough fight. But, it must be done consciously. Meditation has helped me immensely.
Hope this helps!
In Solidarity,
Angela | | | Post Reply | | |

i had horrendouse nightmares every single night for eight years. i still do occasionally, maybe once or twice a week now. dont feel strange because you have emotional issues.i totally get the detached emotions thing. the only emotion i show is anger. you are not alone there. i cant stand it.even when i am not mad someone is always asking me if i am mad. you are not being melodramatic at all. you are not whining or crying either. that is how i used to feel, but i have come to realize that i was harmed as a child and have become who i have become.i dont understand me but i accept me as i am with no apologies to anyone. anyone who mistakes our venting as whining or crying is too shallow minded for me to talk to anyway and their opinion means zilch to me. we carry pain inside of us and it is quite alright to voice it.
congratulations on the job and your entry to college!. you are definitly on the right track.you have a desire to do something positive with your life and i believe you will succede.peace! | | | Post Reply | | |
