So my doctor is finally looking into the chance that I have PTSD....I have nightmares every night and he said lets try seoqual and see what happens....Well I still have bad dreams but I'm okay with them. I wake up and I have a little waking anxiety but thats just me.....The dream didn't effect my emotions....Which I am thankful for because every time I would have a nightmare I wake up and I am stunned at what I saw. End time dreams and cannibal dreams are the worst....I won't go into detail of what my dreams look like....But more thankful that there is a way out of thinking about the fear of going to sleep......I have been thru a psychosis. Now some doc's are idiots and think that once you come out of it. Your fine....well my case I broke a neighbors window because I was afraid that zombies and cannibals where after me...I got locked up in jail for two months with no advocate to help me. They knew something was wrong but the laughed and kept me locked inside my self in a cell. I get out.....My roommates take me to the hospital and I start to get better...It took about 8 months to come out of the confusion and things I was seeing. Now I deal with the residue of that event......PTSD really does suck!

It's nice to see that you're getting better though I can relate to the experience of idiot doctors, sometimes they can really stop a patient from improving, but some approaches are only effective if some time is given, which sucks :x

Ya and there is no aborting a dream for me...Lucid or not...it just is going to be crazy and there is no escaping it.Stupid cops for taking me to jail instead of the psychward. I am forever scarred as long as I'm on this earth.

You just need to work hard and think positive along the bad times, as useless this might sound at the moment ^^

May I ask what's your PTSD about? You seemed to be mentioning about cannibals in your post. What's that traumatic thing that happened to you which cause your PTSD? It's fine if you don't want to talk about it. I have an anxiety disorder too so maybe I can understand your situation.

I thought and saw zombies.. I went thru a psychotic state where my theme was the end times and cannibals and zombies where after me.....I was locked in jail for two months with no help. Had to get beat up in order to want to get out of there....I thought I gave my ex HIV when I was delusional and I told the gaurds and cops and they came down on me like I was at God's Judgment. Now I have dreams about the end times or cannibals or both...The zombie thing I have kinda gotten used to because I love zombies. But them not helping me and taking me to jail without medication and getting harassed and beat up thinking it was the end of the world and even when I got out. The psychosis lasted for eight months....When I started to come out of it. I had lost my job, had a felony nightmares lost my gf and I was not seeing a doctor or anything and this is my fault...I didn't like taking there meds....So now I just have flashbacks of that episode when I hear a helicopter over head or I hear about things in the news....And if ppl talk about cannibals I get anxious. So and there is alot more but, it's too long to post...But trust me...I have PURE O OCD which is prolly the hardest to deal with but the nightmares are getting to me.

Wait you have PTSD, OCD, and some kind of delusion attack disorder? That's gotta suck. Good luck on treatment. I want to be a psychiatrist, so my dream is to help people like you. In my personal opinion, I don't think the doc should have given you drugs; he should have at least tried psychotherapy for PTSD. I'm very sorry to hear about the jail incident.

[sonicwhite]

Yes I have all these disorders.....OCD PTSD ADHD Schizoaffective and there still trying to figure out if it's just one lump some psychosis. Which I had a psychotic break.......I'm glad your finding your calling.....I hope you help alot of people...
