Night terrors

Man I’ve been having terrible violent dreams for the last few nights in a row. I hate waking up in panick, this is the worst feeling ever for me. This makes me up sad and upset, i dont know what to do.

Not alone. I struggled with those during use and after quitting. My therapist recommended journaling them to look for a reoccurring theme and to get it out of my head. Sometimes they were so bad I felt shame to even mention some of the things, so writing was a good start

They are the worst! What do you do to calm down and unplug 2 hours before bed? Try melatonin or calming tea/cocoa with it in it before bed

I write alot, whether it be about my experiences, or trauma in the past, I write a lot of poetry too, I enjoy being able to put a cadence to it. I just HATE waking up with my heart racing or feeling absolutely depressed. It’s a terrible way to start the day.

I take melatonin and valerian root, sometimes together, sometimes separate, I’m trying to figure out if melatonin welcomes the demons. I drink stress relief and sleep tea by yogi, which helps sometimes, I think I need to get the combination right. Feels like I’m using again almost some nights when I do that s*** so then intense physical exercise is the only way for me to get sleep. I’m a masochist any way, so torturing myself with sets and reps until failure happens often.
