Am i tramatized???!
Question: ok so when i was about 10 or 11 i was left alone with my 2 younger cousins in my old apartments and so the babysitter didn't show up and then a few hours later a guy had a gun in his hand banging the door saying to open up. i was terrified and so i told my cousin to take her little sister with her and hide mean while i stayed in the living room and got the only big kitchen knife i could find so that he would get in i would pretty much stab him to death no matter what as long as i would be safe and my cousins as well. anyway I keep on dreaming that im home alone and that whenever i peek out of my window i see a man standing there watching and then he tries to break in. the man is always the same dude trying to get in and in my dream i get so terrified that i get a big kitchen knife and wait to see if he gets to break in so that i could stab him. when i wake up i feel as if i wanted to scream and wake up sweating out of fear. What could i do so that i don't stick with that fear??

Girl... You just did it!! You told someone about your experience.
Last year I had a crazy dream of some people stalking me and actually breaking into my house, cutting the phone lines, cooking a meal, smoking and taking there good azz time planning out how to kill me. In my dream, they had a point system, and they were arguing about points from earlier in the week. I was upstairs with this screw driver in my room... I got dressed quickly and tried to climb out the window, but they had some girls outside watching the back. It was crazy....!!!!! But I woke up... took out my journal, wrote it down... and shook it off.
Shake it off, girlie... You are safe now. If it makes you feel better, keep a weapon in your bedroom, learn how o use it, and do not be afraid to protect yourself.
I hoped that helped.
By the looks of it yes...
i think that you are definatly traumatized. i think that you need to see a theripist, not because you're crazy or anything, but he or she could help you find coping skills and a way to move on with your life....i'm really sorry that that happend to you, but i believe that you can move on.
good luck.

Oh my goodness XD
Well to be honest, yes, you're traumatized =\
Otherwise you wouldn't be having such intense dreams. Or at least that's what I would imagine...
And that's pretty scary with the kitchen-knife deal. I think you should do something about this before it gets out of hand.
Please be safe and don't hurt yourself!
If you want to know, speak to a doctor about getting a referral to either a psychiatrist or a psychologist, to get a proper diagnosis of whether or not you've been traumatized.
You really sound like you need to talk to a counselor about this. They can help you deal with things like that. It will be so worth it once you stop having these dreams. I haven't had that bad of am experience, and am not going to go into details unless you want me to, but a strange man made me very uncomfortable and scared to be in public alone for a while. Once I started counselling, it worked wonders.
Yes you are traumatized and possibly suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome.
Go see a Psychologist to talk about what happened and get some suggestion of how you can mentally deal with it.
We are all traumatized...
Interesting story... I hope you are ok. I would have a visual session where you simply imagine the man and you imagine yourself kicking his but so the next time you dream it your brain will recall the visualization. Also, watch out- it could be warning. Many of my dreams have come true, both good and bad.....
