1. I often have nightmares

Jan 2024

Mostly about my old job. I also have nightmares where I'm lost, either while walking or driving, and can't find anyone to help me. Or I am exhausted and just can't take another step but, again, nobody hears or helps me.

I wake up in a cold sweat and a couple of times I've jarred awake and fallen right back to sleep, and right back in to the nightmare.

If I take an Ativan, I'll have really weird dreams, but not nightmares.

It's exhausting.
