Struggling with Panic Attacks and Nightmares

Hey 👋 I have dealt with ptsd related nightmares along with sleep paralysis... not fun at all.. I ended up taking medication for it, for about 6 months and it has been over a year since I've been off of it and it helped me so much! I was very skeptical at first but my dreams went from horrific to pleasant without any sleep paralysis! I definitely understand feeling like your walls are built up and it's hard to ask for help now.. I feel like I am stuck in that situation right now and I'm hoping this app is a right step to get help!

I can only tell you of my experiences and You can decide if I'd upstand or not. When I was 7 my brother had sex with me and my parents, and other siblings knew about it but I was never allowed to talk about it and for years by both my siblings I was tagged as a shut, whore, I was never good enough. Than at 28 yrs. Old I was raped by someone I loved..I went through a year of heavy drinking, a suicide attempt and just not caring if I live or die because in my mental and emotional state I thought my only purpose was for people to use me. In my childhood I was mad and very hurt...still am. I'm in my 40's now and I'm trying to help myself by getting help. I don't know your situation but know that whatever it may be I'm here to listen not to judge or blame just to listen.
