Thank You. I love a benzo, but would prefer a long term solution where I am not drugged and am also not awakened in another room (or on my floor) frightened af.

Have had in the past and stopped w xanax. Maybe I need more? The dream was weird and real. I take .5 xanax to sleep each night and to not have terrors. They are back w a vengeance.

Hey I’ve been having night terrors for years. Some are a lot worse than others. I think the best way to deal with them is to just try to take control during the episode. I usually do it by trying to move a finger and focus and concentrate on moving one part of your body and letting the rest of your body wake up soon after.

I’d like to preface this post with saying I was in a very toxic relationship previously. I went to therapy, healed myself, and now feel I have found someone very healthy.

I do a lot of the small things, make sure I’m hitting all his love languages daily, and I keep feeling like he thinks he’s doing everything to keep me happy, but

I’ve suffered from workaholism for a long time. Thanks to a lot of great self help books and therapy, I’m no longer putting work on a pedestal and I’m spending a lot more time on self care and my marriage. But, unfortunately, I am now getting withdrawals, because my body is used to the daily adrenaline of throwing myself into work. It’s this terrible feeling of like anguish/unease in my gut, but I don’t have anything I’m worried about- it’s like my body wants to find something to worry about.
