Hi Crystal,
Welcome to the group. I'm Reggie and also have PTSD. I recently found through
my counseling that my nightmares were mostly due to guilt. I've been dealing
with these issues and my nightmares have been reducing a great deal. The past
six to eight months have been hard working one's for my recovery. Try to keep a
journal so can look back and maybe identify some of the triggers that bring on
the nightmares and anxiety. Right now I've bitten my nails into the skin to the
point where they are hurting. I am trying to do as much physical work as I can
so I wont be able to have the time to bite them and so I will be toooooo tired.

Feel free to IM me anytime and I will let you know when I am on line.

This group has been tremendously supportive to me and most of the time when I've
needed someone there has been someone around to chat with me via IM. So reach
out we can share and most important, having been there, we can listen with our
hearts open.
Reggie

Hi my name is Crystal. I am 20 years old and suffer from ptsd. My
upbringing was very harsh and things have not been good for me since.
i have horrible nightmares, reaccurign anxiety attacks, and most of
all a great deal of disasociation. (yup i cant spell sorry) i have
gone to therapy for this, and at times it helps and at others i look
at my therapyst and wonder "how the heck can you possibly know how i
am feeling". then i feel all alone. the ptsd helps fold into my manic
depression. i am not looking for any pity but just someone to talk to
and hopefully get some kind of advice. anyways i will end here.
thank you
crystal
