^Relatable.
That's why I take sleeping meds. They knock me out. -
hm. had a nightmare
-
I'm used to it so they don't bother me as much as they used to unless they're particularly heinous. In which case I will have a meltdown, probably throw up, and not sleep for a day or two until I reach out to a professional and/or remember my coping skills and do my best to employ them

The worst nightmares usually involve graphic murder, sometimes of children or animals. And I don't mean the cartoony gore that sometimes gets posted here, I mean vividly realistic, traumatizing gore. I can't even go into more detail because remembering makes me feel sick. Sometimes the nightmares even involve rape and other disturbing things. I'm usually not the person being at risk, but am observing the things happening, whether that means stumbling upon mutilated corpses (which I have a real-life fear of) or watching someone I love being killed. A lot of times there is a recurring theme in the nightmare that I am at fault, that it was somehow my fault that the people were hurt, or even sometimes that I murdered them (this one is rare). Sometimes the nightmares are trauma related.
I once had one where my mother was murdering puppies. It sounds strange, and it is, but I was driving through this hellscape surrounded by piles of brutally murdered puppies and then came to a warehouse where she was mutilating them and telling me it was my fault. That's an oversimplification, but it's just a taste of the "worst" nightmares.
Last night's was one where I watched terrible things happening and I don't want to go into detail. I try not to remember them but sometimes my mind latches onto these graphic details and I obsess over them. The intrusive thoughts afterwards are the worst part. -
I regret writing that. I feel nauseous now. Maybe I look like a p---- now lmao but the nightmares really disturb me
-
Oh my goodness, I'm so sorry.

I didn't mean to post that for pity points; I think I just needed to get that out. Sorry
