Disturbing dreams...?

Question

I keep having horrible dreams and it's got to the point where im too scared to go to sleep...

They really are terrible.

I usually feel really down and have problems with self harm and suicidal thoughts and it's now affecting my dreams. I actually act on the thoughts in my dreams and have tried to kill myself many times (in the dreams). It scares me...

I don't know how to stop it...is there anything i can do?

Is there any medication you can take to stop dreams?

Is it a bad thing that i'm now feeling these things in my dreams aswell as real life? I feel like i'm never getting a break from all of this now!

Do the dreams mean anything?

Thanks for reading!

I'm 18, female by the way and recently started getting help for the self harm. It could just be my hormones going a little crazy....

Answer 1

you have depression and you are suicidal go to a therapist and they will help you,also go to a doctor to perscribe you medication. And you will be just fine and those dreams will be gone! goodluck.

Answer 2

Im sure there is some kind of medication, my friend was having pretty much the same prob you are, luckily she had a really supporting family, and went to a psychiatrist and got help, shes doin great now, somewhere out in California

Answer 3

for sure get professional help, there are meds to help your problems.  It is all related, so get help now!  Talking to a counselor is not enough, you do have a chemical imbalance issue and that CAN be helped.

Answer 4

ok this isnt as bad as it sounds,

when you go to bed try to think of your breathing, but before you do, think of something you enjoy alot, like the beach, going to the movies, etc... and then focus on your breathing, and you will fall asleep very shortly.

if this doesnt work the first night, try again..

and if it doesnt work after a week, you might want to think of talking to a counselor, and see what they have to say.

Answer 5

ok a few years ago i would be too scared to go to sleep bc my dreams were very scary...i had a dream that some mexican guy shot my mom and the next day i saw a guy that looked JUST LIKE THE GUY IN MY DREAM......soo for the next 2 weeks i was too scared to sleep. eventually i got over it though and u will too you just need to relax and try to become stress free...stress influences us more than we think! including in dreams...

go to a spa and relax...and before u go to bed every night read a nice good book until u feel tired and sleep with a light on...if ur scary dreams still dont go away then u should definately talk to ur doctor
