Night terrors

Night terrors

Hello. My first post.

I'm curious to know how others deal/cope with night terrors.

Mine usually come about if I've had a PTSD trigger episode I like it call it.

Boy, these night terrors are full on hey. Sometimes I remember the feeling, like being trapped and I react and I fall out of bed !!

Other times I've been told I've screamed. Although I can't remember.

The.terrors happen instantly, not like a nightmare, and when I come too. My heart is racing so bad.

OMG @calmsoul you have Toby to a tee. He is always by my side and stresses when he cannot get to me so me being stuck halfway through the ceiling, legs dangling from in between the plaster, would absolutely confuse him lol.

Hey @calmsoul Sorry I did not reply last night as I went to bed early. I am pleased to hear you were having a calm day yesterday - I hope that carried over to the night as well.

I am unfortunately not great but I am sure it is because of my flu shot. I always have a reaction for a few days so I am taking it easy until it passes.
