Discussion Constant Nightmares

[ThatFlyGuy]

I've had constant nightmares this year and I used to have constant nightmares when I was younger too, I've always kinda just accepted it as the normal but recently I've been thinking more and more about it, does anyone else have this problem, it doesn't ruin my life or anything but it has taken away all happiness I can gain from sleep and has replaced it with me dreading it.

Whenever I reach a certain level of stress, anxiety, or depression I get nightmares. It's difficult for me—no peace awake, no peace sleeping. It worsens my mental state, adding to my general exhaustion. Sleeping is also one of the things that sometimes make me feel normal, since it's such a normal thing to do. So to have nightmares ruin that illusion of normality worsens my mental state too

My dreams are horrific and I know it is a result of the medication cocktail I took in an overdosing effort 18 months ago. It has ruined my life.

Yes, nightmares each night, all the time---but they pale to the real life nightmare of losing your lifetime girlfriend partner

There is no nightmare greater than living in reality. Nightmares to me seem like a blessing compared to the daily torment of living. Although, it would be better if I could just die painlessly and have neither.

Not nightmares in the sense of the bogeyman chasing me or such. Just dreams so disturbing and weird that I wake up in awe that could have dreamed that.

Yes. I have chronic nightmares. I've tried many medications and nothing makes them much better. I can sedate my body but they still happen every time I sleep and are super painful.
