Hi,
I experienced extreme emotional trauma with my mother for many years. It REALLY damaged me mentally and emotionally and continues to do so. It resulted in an unsuccessful suicide attempt and therapy 3 months ago. The only problem is that I still have this horrid fear. Also, I have started having nightmares a couple times a week which pretty much simulate what happened to me, and I experience the same emotions. I had a nightmare two days ago, where I woke up talking in my sleep yelling for my mom to stop. My own voice woke me up. I was so freaked after that and couldnt fall alseep for awhile. The dream just brought back memories and I was on the verge of tears. I calmed myself down, put my arms around my husband (who was not awakened) and went to sleep. Is this a common symptom of PTSD?? I cant go and see my therapist for another two weeks. Help!
