I had decided i dont think i'll be looking into any medicine for anything.... i was just thinking about for sleep, to relax i guess.
Last night i had a bad dream, which is about every night but last night i was screaming out again, which i do occasionally. I must have been screaming pretty loud , i woke up my 8 year old daughter who said, "Mom bad dream", and i saw my husbund turned the hall light on and was looking at me to see if i was okay. I dont remember what it was about but remember the screaming .
Its a good thing it was at night, im afraid if i lay down in the afternoon and take a nap with the windows open , which they are, and end up screaming out while sleeping someone walking by or a neighbor will hear me and think im being literally attacked or something and call the police ! I'm a 40 year old , who still has bad dreams and nightmares and screams out at night, like a child, i shouldnt be doing that.
Thanks for explaining the trigger's,, i'm starting to understand those, certain things that trigger .
Michel,
Hello again, we are close in age

I am so sorry you are having such a hard time

I will keep you in my prayers.
There are a few things you can do besides taking drugs to relax you before bedtime.
Start with prayer, take a nice soothing shower, listen to relaxing spiritual music, even play it while you sleep.
Here is a prayer you can say at bedtime:
Dear Lord Jesus, as I rest in the comfort of your love, I ask to experience your gentle embrace as you tenderly wrap your loving arms around me. I trust your compassionate care will bring peace to my mind, serenity to my heart and renewal to my spirit.
In your loving embrace, I ask that you grant me a peaceful night’s rest. Please purify my dreams, cleanse my subconscious and wash my thoughts with the purity of your infinite love. Please minister to my heart, mind, body, soul and spirit as I rest in your compassionate care tonight.
Please send forth your protective angels to stand guard over me as I sleep. May your angelic army destroy all curses, hindrances and demonic influences that have been sent against my ability to experience a peaceful night’s rest. I ask that your heavenly host protect me as I stay awake and watch over me as I sleep, that awake I may keep watch with Christ, and asleep, rest in his peace. Amen.
In Christ,
Mari
Psalm 91-14 The LORD says, "I will rescue those who love me. I will protect those who trust in my name."
