John Coffey - Green Mile

When you're used to having Sir around, but he's away for 2 weeks... Thousands of miles away and you miss him and serving him 😢❤️🐰

Hence why I have a good man 👌

Sir is coming over before he goes on his trip today ❤️ Going to be a long two weeks though :(

Nightmares 💤💤💤💤 2:20AM The one thing nobody can protect you from. For me this is the most challenging symptom of c-ptsd/trauma. These nightmares can range from reliving horrible events in your life to just random terrifying scenarios - equally both as terrifying as the other. 🙁 (although my nightmares are becoming less frequent - YAY) So here I am (AGAIN) wakened through the sheer terror of a subconscious state and I'm so so tired, but I can't sleep - my adrenaline levels are through the roof as are my cortisone levels (stress hormone)my heart is racing and I'm basically sitting up in bed debriefing myself about the images my own mind made me see. This may seem like an over reaction or something silly to others, almost childlike being so affected by nightmares - but when it is 9/10 nights - reliving a past you would rather forget and move on from, it's kinda hard. Now you have a bit background here is the main reason why I wrote this: If your partner has frequent nightmares due to anxiety/ptsd/trauma/etc try to understand although it is "just a dream" this may have been a reality for them not so long ago and this can be extremely upsetting. They may want to talk about their nightmares they may not, everyone is different. The physical side such as being tired, mood swings and the exertion of the fight/flight response being triggered can be draining. They may feel fatigued, exhausted etc during the day and as their partner you need to try and understand this is a real physical symptom of being mentally ill and to be more tolerant of their behaviors Emotionally all you can do is be there for them - nightmares are something you can't fix or take away so the best thing you can do is just be there, whether that be just to hold and reassure them, to listen or whatever your partner finds helpful. Most of all try to remember It's more than "just a dream" to them.
