I have not been sleeping well at all. Thank you insomnia and trauma for that... I get absolutely horrible night terrors. I'm talking waking up in a sweat shaking and screaming. Sleep is scary for me at the moment but I'm trying to change that now. Tonight I'm trying brown noise instead of my music I use to sleep. I read that background noise like that is really good for trauma and anxiety at night. Then I'm also replacing the bright lights on while I sleep to some simple fairy lights above my bed. Nice alternative to the overhead lights when I try to sleep. I'm also implementing a new night routine. Which I will hopefully be able to stick too. Hygiene, comfy clothes, an enjoyable activity that's relaxing, take my night meds, some simple meditation before bed, then it's off to bed. Let's see how this goes. I will be posting an update a few days into it for those who also struggle with trauma and insomnia. Wish me luck! #Trauma #CPTSD #nightterrors #Insomnia #Anxiety #SleepTerrors

It was 2am, I just said good night to someone and I was feeling sad, of course I am still sad.

I then drift off, only to be awaken by a weird dream.

In that “dream” it felt as though I was awake, my eyes were shut, I can see flashing lights, I felt like I’m about to leave my physical body. The lights were still flashing, I couldn’t move, I was trying so hard not to see anything behind those lights despite my eyes being shut.

And then slowly, the flashing lights slowed down until it finally stopped, couldn’t open my eyes fully, but I can see a glimpse of the room, and then I’m awake with my heart racing.

What the hell was that?! #SleepTerrors #Nightmares #Depression #Anxiety

I have nightmares quite often where I dream about things I am often worried about like someone dying, car accidents and getting fired from work. But the other night I had one of the most frightening experiences with sleep paralysis. I have experienced it before but never to this extent.

It started with a dream that I was climbing across this blue pole which was really high up. Part way across I realised I had taken the wrong route and should have climbed across the red pole instead. Random, I know 😂.

Suddenly, I fell off and started sinking into darkness. By this point I was awake but I was completely paralysed. I couldn't open my eyes and I tried really hard to move but couldn't move my body at all. I started seeing all these swirly shapes which were hallucinations and I felt like this dark figure was over me pinning me to my bed. I have never been so terrified.

My heart was going so fast and I felt like I was being suffocated so I was gasping for air. I tried so hard to scream but nothing was happening. I eventually managed to start speaking out loud muttering whatever I could think of to wake myself up from sleep paralysis and that's when I could finally open my eyes.

I have never had an experience so scary with sleep paralysis before. I was too scared to go back to sleep for a while in case it happened again. Usually I can wake myself up really quickly but I felt really trapped and couldn't move for a good few minutes. I am wondering if with all the things going on in the world, I am getting a lot of anxiety which may have caused this 😬. Wondering if anyone else has ever had an experience like this? 😳

almost every night as I’m falling asleep or very shortly after I fall asleep, my body starts to panic and my heart starts racing and I have to jolt out of my sleep to get out of it. it’s absolutely awful especially when I’m groggy and then it magnifies every sense of panic. plus it adds on the anxiety of whether or not it’s gonna happen each night and then that inevitably causes a panic attack anyway. has anyone else experienced this? #Anxiety #Insomnia #SleepTerrors
