[Help] I need help Updates to this post /post/178647-i-need-help Mon, 07 Dec 2009 06:45:15 +0100 Reply from iluvmuzicxoxo /post/178647-i-need-help#reply-3959091 i think the best thing is to either find a new relationship or go to therapy. if you find a new relationship then over time your past relationship won’t be as big of a deal to you as it is at the moment, ull have something else to think about and contemplate over.

if you go and see a proffesional then they might give u better help tho =]=].

This is very true and very untrue.
Of course nobody knows you better than you do but you wouldnt have left a post here asking for help if you knew what to do. It’s really not a bad idea to speak to someone who may be able to show you something about yourself you may have had a hard time opening up with

Sounds to me like you have PTSD from that abusive relationship. You thought you were over it, but with PTSD, if something reminds you of it your mind relives it over and over. With you, that happens to be in your dreams.

You know that you went through a bad time and your body is trying to heal itself. when you spoke to your friend it opened up old (supressed) wounds. you should talk to someone about it!

It seems you were able to let go because you weren’t putting yourself in situations where he would come up. By doing this, you forgot about him as much as possible because not seeing him made it easy.

And then your friend brings him up and all at once it all comes whooshing back. That moment is definitely in need of analyzing and by you thinking everything is okay when it may not be, all your analyzing is occuring while you sleep unconsciously.
The only way to overcome these nightmares and finally sleep sound again I think is to confront everything from your past either by talking to a friend or seeking out a professional to get it off your mind and sorted out.

Until then, your dreams/nightmares will be the one trying to figure it out and it may only get worse!
