Horrible Dreams

Hi everybody- i'm on week 3 and feeling just terrible all the time. i'm going through a lot personally..it's so much to get into, but my husband is pressuring for us to leave the country (i need surgery, but i don't feel it's an immediate need..my US insurance won't cover it, and my husband is European). Leaving would mean giving up my apartment, and leaving my son with my parents-i already only see him part time and i've been trying to get more time. Anyway, i have a lot of trouble sleeping, and when i do i have terrifying dreams. So horrible i don't even want to write them down. i've been following the program to the best of my ability, but i am anxious as can be all day long-until midnight when i fall asleep and these dreams come. i used to be able to tell myself that anxiety attacks will pass, but it seems like i'm in one huge extended one, and even in sleep i have no releif. i'm not sure what i am looking for in posting this..maybe just someone to say it'll be okay. i have Social Anxiety Disorder and have no friends at all, and a terribly strained and negative relationship with my parents. i feel like i'm going to lose it, and just have to a psychiatric hospital. Life is just one dreadful moment after another..and now my dreams are too. That's all. Thanks-i hope someone will post something.

Maybe its good to do surgery to be healhy and to be there for your son, and you can take better care of your son. When i have horrible dreams I keep saying to myself a dream is not real. And consertrate on the present moment. The relaxation tape helps me a lot.
You will get through this just believe.

Hi Danielle,

Just wanted to say I'm so sorry for all the troubles you are going through and pray that it all just gets better for you and soon.

I think there have been others that posted about bad dreams a while back. I just can't remember how far back it was. Hopefully others who are having or have had these will reply.

Wishing all the best to you, in my prayers.

I did send you a private message.

Hi I am new to this. I can say that I haven't started the course yet. But can't wait to try it. I just wanted to share with you...that I too experience horrible, horrible dreams. So, I can too, relate to what you are saying. I've always attended psychics and witch doctors and feel that this is where my anxiety and bad dreams come from.
Its been hard...to deal with everyday. But when I experience one of my bad dreams I talk to myself and say that its not real and that everything I dream of is just superficial and I will be okay and my day will be okay. And it works!! So your not alone..and everything you are experiencing will pass too! :p
