Topic: I have somniphobia

Anonymous A started this discussion 2 years ago #119,320

Every night without exception, my dreams are either horrifying, vivid nightmares, or deeply traumatic and sad psychological terrors. I fear sleep. I hate sleep.

Just sleep it off.

How's the sinclair method working for you?

But you sleep all day after spending the entire night here shtickposting™, so sleep can't be all that bad.

you can suppress dreams with prescribed venlafaxine
although "Venlafaxine has shown benefit for general PTSD symptoms, but not nightmares; therefore, it is not recommended"

Last night I dreamed that I was playing GTA6 and was collecting stamps in my little house but I had to shoot a rogue guard first.

Mixing booze and pills probably doesn't help much. Remember when you were knocking back benzos with box wine and you thought a fan blowing behind your curtain was a demon?

I watched that livestream and I'm not convinced that the fluttering curtain wasn't a succubus.

I don’t mix booze and pills, and there was no fan. Lynne made that up.
