I’ve had a bad past 4 months and I’ve tried to see consolers and therapists but they all judge won’t let me finish saying what I need to say I’m on edge I feel so many emotions from everyone else I was having sleep paralysis when everything first happened. Now I’m better but I still suffer from bad nightmares I sleep walk when I sleep I can’t sleep at all sometimes and when I do It’s maybe for 3 hours a night. I just need some kind of guidance I will not take any medications I don’t believe in taking meds if I’m desperate I’ll take a Tylenol if my migraine comes back. What should I do?

I just responded to one of your other posts. I sure hope the nightmares will stop.

I am so sorry you are struggling. I know nothing about sleep paralysis, so am of no use to you, but just wanted to say I support you.

Hello Emathtraveler: Welcome to Psych Central
 The Coping with Emotions forum, here on PC, may also be of interest. Here's a link:https://psychcentralforums.com/coping-with-emotions/ You mentioned sleep paralysis. This is something I struggled with for many years (not so much anymore.) Somewhere I read that if one sleeps on one's back, this can tend to encourage episodes of sleep paralysis. I think this may be part of the reason I seldom have these anymore because for quite a few years now I've found I can't sleep on my back. I almost always sleep on one side or the other & occasionally on my stomach. You mentioned having nightmares as well as having difficulty sleeping. Here are links to 4 articles, from Psych Central's archives, that touch upon these subjects: More Than a Dream: The Science Behind Nightmares | Change Your Mind, Change Your Life How to Eliminate Recurring Nightmares The First Line of Treatment for Insomnia That'll Surprise You Putting the Fear of Sleeplessness to Rest I hope you find PC to be of benefit.
