All I can say is pray, pray for the Lord to bind Satan and his demons and cast them out. Pray that he will protect you mentally, physically and spiritually.

I have a problem with my dreams I cant seem to shake them off at all I can feel pain after like when someone lets say stabs me in my dream I wake up but in pain in that place. My brain thinks it really happened to me so the pain is transferred from my sleep state to my awake state its hard to really explain without sounding crazy (at times I feel crazy) Well what I do is relax a bit more before bed pray (really pray) that my dreams are good and I don't have pain after. I have tried allot of stuff from sleeping pills to drinking a few glasses of wine (3 at the most) to relax I found the wine helped out a bit more then anything but I don't want to ever dink every night I had a grandmother who was a drunk (she died). SO I only have a glass every 2-6 days it helps me out a bit when I feel way to tired from either not sleeping cause I am scared to or I wake up every few hours from sweats and bad dreams (Night Terrors). If you ever want to take about this stuff you can e-mail me maybe there is more to what happens to you that I have gone through and we can help each other out a bit.

I go away from place place of anger.  Try to find a sitting place, close my eyes, drop my head and relax.  But of course in extreme case, i share my piece of mind with the other person or who ever is available.  After All am a human, one cannot always control his / her anger. :)

As a schizophrenic I can only nod my head as I read your post and that of the others. There is a forum you might find very helpful...\n\nTo answer your question...yes. Right now. During an incident of violence. I am learning to deal with it, yes. Miles to go before i sleep. On some days the best I can do is simply zone and zone and zone...waking up briefly to places I know I am supposed to be...taking care of buisness with only a vague sense of being present. Trying to awaken from sleep sometimes is a horror show. It is at those times I can feel how little connected I am to me...and sometimes i cannot get through the grey suffocating cotton to get from sleep to awareness and I get trapped there and all I can do is struggle in terror and panic and then finally awaken to this dull grey world.\nBut every day is not like that...and every day does not suck. Medication slays me...Ihave schizophrenia and bi-polar mixed into one disease...believe me I have tried medication From Halidol and Cogentin to Risperidal and Zyprexa. I am medication free as of the last five years. I don;t take vitamins anymore. I take Chlorella and Spirulina...in capsule form (never tablets) and any kind of sea weed and/ or chlorophyl saturated capsules .\nI drink lots of water...I don't watch the news. I don't read newspapers. No caffeine, sugar, processed foods(sausages, cheese, candies) no soft drinks(the carbon dioxide wreaks havoc with your ability to digest foods.) and I drink everything at room temperature...nothing too hot or too cold. System goes into shock as soon as those extremes are introduced into it.\nThese things help me deal and as time goes on I feel badly less and less and the frequency with which I feel disconnected and out of my body whilst stuck in my body, lessen.\n\nThe therapy I use that has saved my life is Dialectic Behavioral Therapy. Originally created just for borderline personality disorder. It was later found to help people across all lines of disorders and Axis 1's. Rather than explain I will send you links.\n\nThe Chlorella and Spirulina are for energy during the day, and help me sleep at night. The DBT therapy is for my sanity...keeps me from going mad...and helps me begin the process of reintegration so I can meet myself one day and get to know me.\n\nFirst link is to the Depersonalization / Derealization Community Forums. Peace and blessings.

I go to a hypno-psychotherapist. It helps to have someone to talk to without being judged and getting help in relaxing. Then I de-stress through a hobby, sewing. When I am just about to explode, I drop everything and sit on my sewing chair and turn on the machine. Think also of If they are close by maybe you can call them for coffee or something.

Getting attacked by something or somebody.  Those dreams scare the heck out of me.  And I can't seem to shake the feelings all day.  I hate those!

Try meditation.  I have a spiritual master, well for all of like eight days now and it's working pretty good.  It's helped me to calm down some.  She doesn't charge, if you want to speak to her msg me and I'll give you her email.

I feel like that when i am having an anxiety attack. When you feel like that, take a hot bath or shower and just learn to relax by listening to soothing music.

It is a nervous condition.  Really. Happens to me sometimes too. I find it useful to get away from the source of aggravation.

what were the actions that lead up the the abuse? Were you having problems for awhile. Remember when you are fighting and hurt you will say things that you dont mean in the heat of the moment...........

Try Yoga, watching less tv, exercising more..even if its just walkin ,massages, candles, relaxing music..aromatherapy, writting ur feelings on a paper, figuring out what makes u tense and then fix it by organizing urself,time and priorities.

I didn't used to be like that, but lately I have been having a similar experience.  I think, for me at least, its because my life is going through a lot of changes, and I'm experiencing a lot of stress due to that.  I think its my mind's way of playing out my fears, since they are constantly on my mind.  I would suggest you try a cup of chamomille tea before you go to bed; it works wonders for me.

I have suffered from anxiety for about 13 years now.  It comes and goes in my life for no reason. I have tried drugs but the side effects were bad.  I have found that contrary to popular belief, you can control these attacks.  Just find something that makes you feel safe a friend a child a place that you take comfort in. Just close your eyes and think about that. Take deep slow breaths, and just understand that you are never alone.   I used to like to be close to my babies. Just being close made me feel so calm. If you are in a public place try tapping.  It sounds silly but just tap your fingers on something. It seems like it releases some for the energy from the anxiety.  Good luck and know that there are millions of people that suffer with you.
