Nightmares Posted: 03-04-05 20:03pm
I've heard anxiety can give you really bad
nightmares. A while ago I had a dream
within one hour that summed up everything
that worries me. But the things that
worry me are so stupid. I'm scared of
something slitting my veins, i'm scared
that i'm experiencing heart failure
sometimes, i'm scared of someone drugging
me, i'm scared of the reality of life.
There are so many other things. I don't
know, there's not really any point to this
post. I'm just rambling.

Hi, nataliedee. Your thoughts and fears
are not stupid, no matter how
inconsequential they may seem. You have
to acknowledge them before you can make
any progress with them. Once you know
what you're afraid of, you can face it.
There are all sorts of resources available
to you. You've found a great one already
in this forum! School counselors can
help you too -- the won't think you're
"stupid" or "abnormal" for having feelings
of anxiety, and they can offer some great
suggestions. Just having someone to talk
to can be incredibly helpful.
I've done some wonderful work with a
therapist on something called
"cognitive-behavioral therapy" or cbt.
It helps to recast the fears in a more
realistic, less emotional way so they
aren't so overwhelming.
Know you are in my thoughts and prayers!
Peace and blessings!
