Nightmares

[[Lu...]]

I had a horrible nightmare that the world is unsafe, that people are unsafe, and that I can't protect myself. It struck me to my core.

I just want to hide from everything and everyone. I am terrified.

From the police to mental hospitals to cults to violence, it was all there, and I felt unprotected.

I am so scared.

I can't handle that my family won't protect me, never did, and that I don't know how to protect myself except to hide.

This is not just benzos- this is my terror that I have felt my whole life.

Please, someone say something that makes sense, that makes it OK....

Lucero,

 

It's ok.  Nothing is trying to harm you.  You are safe.  Everything is ok.  Just know that you are ok. 

Repeat it to yourself that you are safe and you are ok.

I had 1 week of horrific gruesome nightmares that ended up with me having seizures or dying in them. Every time I woke up from one I was in another. They were so vivid I was having difficulty differentiating reality from dreamstate. One of the most fucked up experiences I've had so far.
