Bereavement - Teens Support Group

This community is focused on teens who have lost someone close to them. Grief is a multi-faceted response to loss, and while most people focus on the emotional response to loss, it can affect us behaviorally, physically, and even spiritually. This is a safe place to talk about how you're feeling and coping with grief, and to share experiences that have helped you through.

It has been nearly a year since my Dad died, and I suffer from really bad nightmares. They are constant, and I don't know how to deal with them. I wake up in tears and for the rest of the day I just can't concentrate on anything. I also suffer from panic attacks when I cry a lot.

Does anyone have any advice please?

I'm dealing with something similar as far as nightmares are concerned.
I wish I had some great advice to share with you or a trick to make it stop but I don't. all I can say is you're not alone.

I suffer from nightmares too and its horrible i know. Dreams and nightmares come from your inner mind, they are technically your deep thoughts. Im not a doctor and im not old enough to say im experienced but i guess i did experience similar things with you and maybe you would like to take my word into consideration. Clear your mind from negative thoughts, keep yourself busy and keep yourself calm at night before you sleep. Try to imagine yourself in a happy place or remind your self of good memories, you know what works great for me? Music. If you like it music can be very helpful it can calm you down even make you happy sometimes. Try those things maybe they'll help a little but if this case gets any worse maybe you need to visit a specialist he/she would definitely know how to professionally help you, stay strong we are here for you.

I know how bad it is.. I've been in that too. Relax , you're not the only one suffering, you can try yoga and prevent caffeine before going to bed in at least 1 hour.. Try to forget bad memories and before going to bed, just try to imagine the life you want to live ,, be happy. Wish you good luck . Whenever you feel like talking, feel free to message me (;

I have been through this. My dad died in May 2015, and I suffered from awful night terrors, which effected my daily life and my relationships.

I am currently on a waiting list to see a doctor who specialises in this, so my advice would be to go to a doctor / school support worker / Human Resources (if you work part time or whatever) and seek support.

Hope this helps, take care.
