i keep dreaming of being back in the hospital. I’m afraid in the dreams and I feel trapped. In last nights dream I refused visitors. My mom and sister came to drop some stuff off for me and my moms face was red from crying. I felt very upset. I think I’ll talk to my therapist about these dreams because I get them a lot. Does anyone else dream about being locked in psych?

Kisses have you tried doing some basic redirection exercises before you lay down to go to sleep, to put your mind in a more positive frame of mind. You don't want to let the negative thoughts take over, ya know.

As I said I will talk to my therapist about it and see how she can help me

Sorry, I didn't mean to bother you with the suggestion. I'll keep my mouth shut.

That must be upsetting to you when you wake up. Sometimes they feel so real. Oldercper has a good suggestion =] I have really vivid guilt based dreams from time to time. I put meditation music on for the first few hours so its still going on when im sleeping and it seems to help and relax. I hope you can find something that will work for you :)

I would also look up whether your med side effects can be nightmares sweetie.... A lot of the psych meds have nightmares, vivid dreams and even night terrors as potential side effects.....xo

I’ll ask pdoc when I see him next month. But most likely he’ll just say deal with it. Which I will because the meds I’m I. Are at least working

Kisses I've been hospitalized a lot 16 times but who's counting? I still have dreams about the hospital even though I haven't been hospitalized 2005. I think it's a narrative and sometimes we have to flow with it...
