Question: What would be your response if you heard someone wake up from sleep screaming and crying?
The reason I ask is, i just did that. I had the ultimate nightmare. I was abused for many years, and i also will include in the word abuse, satanic involvement, as well as kidnapping rape, and attempted murder, torture , and on every level, ridicule and disbelief.So< I just woke up, like this, and my mom says to me, quit screaming, and shut your window,the neighbors may hear. No kind words, no interest in what it was about, and in fact says to me, why don't you just stop doing that, your just trying to get attention{ I am a liar}, what would be your personal response. Please just say what you would do, not what you think I should do about it, i would appreciate that.I am 50 years old. I am disabled, surprise, mentally diagnosed PTSD, as well as non-ambulatory.

Answers:

You are obviosly re-dreaming the nightmares you went through. That is something that isw very hard to erase. Something in your everyday life could trigger an incident that happend to you and subcontiously you retain that when you go to bed AND YOU WAKE UP SCREAMING. i woud be screaming too if i went thru everything you did.
My first suggestion is not medicationas. Medications cannot earase memories. I would see a phycologist..someone you can talk out you problems with. Sometimes when you talk and get it out, it helps.You cannot go on living this way. You aren't getting the proper amout of REM sleep to feel rested which leaves your mind wide open forthese feeling to creep in. Go to a phycologist.. He is there to lend an ear and give suggestions to help you out. By no means, don' keep it locked up in your head. Go see someone and talk it out. It will help.

Good healing and enjoy life once again.

'i think you would benefit from some counseling, therapy since you have PTSD...seek a therapist and ask them specifically for CBT, cognitive behavioral therapy...this will help you redirect your thoughts as well as get down to the issue. God bless
