> I've been having a lot of nightmares lately. But I seem to dream about things going on in my life that are bothering me. I'm always trying to get some where or accomplish something and I can't. Fondly, Phillipa
Hey Phillipa, I have a lot of the same symptoms you have and am also taking 15mg Valium hs and my dreams seem to revolve around that same type of thing ....problems conflicts ,ruminations, hard to get things done, always dreaming about my former careeer profession, dreams about dreams (I know, thats really wierd) flying, gambling -- lots of circular type dreaming probably due to my OCD...in any case it just seem like I can't get anywhere in my dreams. No real nightmares but odd content at times. Sometimes I literally know I am dreaming and while I am sleeping I am aware that I am not liking the course or content of the dream and will wake myself up and go back to sleep just to change the dream scenery...very very bizzare but it could have something to do with the Valium! I dunno.All I know is that I look forward to going to sleep (escapism ! :) ) and I really really hate having to wake up and start a day of the same ole thing.
whaddya think? any similarites. btw I have been following a fair # of your posts and I too feel very un-alive non-motivated, money is neccessary but I could care less about it apathy, indifference, oh well who cares what IS the point. I know that these are some of the major hallmark symptoms of mood dis-orders but it usually takes quite an event to get me excited! Anhedonia, nihlism....I really really want to feel alive again and get better but Most of the time it seems like its too much effort, fruitless, useless and frustrating!!!!!!!!! Da*m the brain disorders!! On we go . We must keep trying!! :) Take Care
Fondly,
Snapper
