@outlanderWas able to keep myself safe and got myself to a point of "calm", but couldn't get back to sleep. Nightmare/flashback was a bad one. I will try and get some sleep today however.
Hi @outlander, sorry to read that you have a bad nightmare last night. Actually I was up and about myself around 4am, sorry I didnt stumble across you then. I could have at least kept you company for a while, and hopefully helped in some way. I know what its like. Hopefully you're feeling a bit more grounded now. Perhaps you can fit in a sleep during the day, and rest may be easier for you then. I know when I am being woken by nightmares a lot and am getting no sleep at night, I can sometimes have a rest during the day and even manage an hours sleep here and there. I'm a bit confused, are you currently in hospital? I had in mind you were, but maybe you're out now. I'm sorry I havent followed your thread right through so have probably missed something. Your thread travels at the speed of light. 
I hope today is better for you and that your physical health improves soon which will, in turn, help with your mental health as well.
Thinking of you.
Sherry
Oops sorry @outlander, I do find it hard to keep on track with whose threads are whose. Sorry for intruding @Former-Member. I hope you are feeling a little better today? Sorry I didnt spot you here overnight when you probably could have used some company.
Hugs to you.
Sherry
