TBeats posted:My question is, how do I deal with it? The obvious answer is to go to the doctor, which I have an appointment to do in late March (earliest possible appt), but has anyone ever dealt with anything similar? Came across this and wanted to chime in: Violent nightmares, with sleep yelling and flailing, can be symptomatic of PTSD. I have childhood trauma, and this happened a lot back when I tried to drink it away as a kid. I haven't been in combat, and so I won't pretend to know what that will do to you - but I know some tricks that have helped me: - No coffee, alcohol, tea etc. after noon. Try to stay off mind-benders like pot and speed. - Go to sleep and wake up at the same time every day. Trust me on this. - Meditate and try not to get worked up. - Turn off electrical appliances in your sleeping room. - Don't use your bed for anything besides sleep and sex. Some people are helped by finding a new sleeping position. I used to have bad sleep paralysis and night terrors until I taught myself to sleep on my belly, it's never come back. Best of luck and I hope you get a good doc!
