Ever since my mom told me about the separation ( working on over a month now) I've been plagued with nightmares. Last night, was horrible...a triple feature. I don't remember details, but that I was running from yet another killer.
I'm to the point that I'm afraid to close my eyes, afraid to fall asleep. What if I won't wake up? What if it becomes real some how? I know that sounds crazy, maybe it's the sleep deprivation, who knows?!
All I know is that this happened to me before and I went through my regular sleep cycle patterns, (fitful sleeps and night after night of nightmares)until one day the nightmares stopped. I don't think I want to go through that again:/
*sigh*
Mom just called...Dad gave her divorce papers...she's filling them out now.
Anna, I know this is a terrible, terrible situation. But I don't want you to make yourself sick over this. :( And I know John doesn't either.
ReplyDeleteI would suggest doing relaxation techniques before you get in bed, like slow breathing, gentle stretches, etc., and praying out loud before getting into bed asking God for a peaceful night's sleep. Then believe that He will give it to you.
I don't know if that will work, but it's worth a try, and I will be sure to pray for you every night before I go to bed as well. Hopefully this will get better soon. :(
Thanks, my nightmares have stopped:)I'm thankful for the encouragement and prayers from friends.
