He wont leave

Night after night he returns in my dreams. I cant do anything but lay there and let him rape me over and over again. Last night was one of the worsts. He wouldnt leave me alone. I woke up today with bruises and my insides were killing me. Its all so real as if it were happening again. I cant get it to stop. I can feel EVERYTHING he does just like that night. It took place when I was 14. He was my boyfriend at the time. It happened many many times. Its been like this ever since. I dont know what to do. It just wont stop.

If only they'd realize it doesn't just hurt that one night, but many, many years in the future as well. :(

I'd suggest getting some strong sleeping medication. Temazepam is a good one. I know you might not want to use one, but with temazepam, I am so deep in sleep that I never remember any dreams or nightmares. That might help a lot. Of course, you have to convince a doctor to prescribe it first... But I think they will. Mine wasn't too hesitant.

If you think it might help you might consider therapy. I had nightmares every nite to for a long time but talking about it really helped.

This is the most that I have been able to talk about it. I just dont feel comfortable. I am actually already taking sleeping medication, for my insomnia. I usually dont remember what I dream but I ALWAYS remember these nightmares.

I look forward to your messages, Bell. I'll pray for you, and suggest you ask for an increased dose of sleeping meds. Perhaps you could set alarms in the middle of the night to take another during that, so that the state of deep sleep will last to the end so that you may not remember the nightmares.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
