Dealing with High Stress and Anxiety

I don't have a partner but a couple of nights this week, I've woken up having panic attacks. I know why, though. One night was because I was talking about my previous abusers the night before. The other time was because of my current abuser.

I've had that happen before. Something that helped me was journalling or meditating either right before and/or right after sleeping. Focusing on either emptying the bad from my mind or highlighting the positives before bed. Alternatively, when I wake up focusing on my dreams and how they connect to my thoughts and emotions or a few good things about the upcoming day.

This has happen to me, I’ve even had night terrors

I know some people with ptsd actually benefit sleeping separately from they’re partner. It hasn’t made much of a difference for me. What has surprisingly helped was talking about the context of the night terrors in therapy. I was ashamed of them and grossed out by the thought of them and never thought something that simple could help. Don’t push yourself to a place you’re uncomfortable and I hope it gets better

I've had wakeup terrors for a while now. So definitely!
