Nightmares?

[comfyfeet]

I'm in a strange situation at the moment, I have been off pain killers and hormones since May this year, after my second lap where they burned away some of the endo. Since I have felt a lot more like myself and just more human. I haven't had a period in over 2 years ( actually it must be pushing 3 now )
Anyway, I wanted to know if anyone else has nightmares connected to endo? I used to have them a lot where i would wake up sweating.
I have recently been contemplating starting up an old relationship with a guy I dated when I was doped up on everything ( i ended it but we stayed friends ) and these nightmares have started back up again.

Is this just me?......

So of them are horrific.
Plz help. x

Yes!!

I tend to get really awful nightmares when I am under stress, in pain from endo, going through an emotionally challenging time either due to health or anything else.

I even got them when I was on anti-depressants to help me sleep due to pain distrubing me.

Was considering talking to a mentor/counsellor just to get it off my chest!

I also had a very frightening experience last year - got beaten up. This causes me sleepless night and bad dreams still.

When I am emotionally upset, my dreams sometimes reflect that but dramatically. Death, murder, war, destruction. Wake up crying and sweating.

Doesn't happen too often thank God. But when it does, I am always weak or useless or ignored in my dream. I choose the wrong times/places/actions. I wake up wanting to correct it all!

I would say that if you're specifially experiencing them after considering the relationship to ask yourself if deep down you have doubts.

Not sure if you feel comfortable with this, but I have in the past found great emotional healing through homeopathy. Did NOT think it would work. But after a course of treatment, my awful emotional baggage was gone. Shame after 4 years I need more but such is life!

Hope this helps you. You're not alone x

I have has some really crazy nightmares especially about work. I think its just all the stress that builds up as there isnt a day that goes by where i dont think about endo. I have been put on anti depressants but i have been to see a councellor who was really helpfull and i would reccomend it.
Its hard but try to take each day as it comes and appreciate the good things no matter how small.
