Am I going crazy?

loulou123

I've suffered from nightmares all my life so you have my sympathy, its truly awful as you almost convince yourself they are true or will come true.

Mine have always followed a similar theme of those I love dying - my husband or my mum usually. The details are different but the end result the same - I'm left on my own. I know these dreams are as a result of losing a lot of people very close to me over the years, I have an issue that everyone is going to leave me.

I also have nightmares about other weird stuff and I can have the same dream everynight for a week, I don't think the nightmares necessarily have any relation to whats on my mind. (although in the above paragraph its fairly obvious.)

Whenever I have a nightmare now I talk it through with my mum or hubby, going into precise detail of the whole thing, this makes me feel better and usually stops it turning into a recurrent dream.

I'm sure if you explain to your husband he won't think your going mad, my hubby just accepts it as a weird part of "me" if I have a nightmare now his 1st question will be "did you kill me off again!?"

Good luck.

I used to go out with my Dad..loved it

On topic if these dreams are really so 'livid' could it be down to horomones? I am no expert don't get me wrong but my dreams have never felt more real when I was pregnat and I had dreams from everything from my partner dying to cheating on me...it got so bad I would wake him up at night just to talk to him because this 'guy' in my dreams was an evil sod and Id wake up physically hating my OH for the way he treated me in my dreams so I would have to talk to the 'real him' to calm myself down....

Only during my early pregnacys though (on my 2nd now but it already passed early on )

You think it would help talking him? I know I am not pregnant Maybe the pills I am on aint helping. Ive had them since moving up though here though. Even more so.

I don't want to worry my boyfriend when he is at work that he worries about me.

I sent a message on facebook to his company asking how safe their lorries are safe and they replied "Yeah very safe. We haven't lost one yet. Why do you ask?" They don't know who I am so haven't put 2 and 2 together.

I haven't a clue what he drives. I know its massive (He has shown me a picture of massive lorry). Ive been thinking, because of the type of company he works for I don't think they'll let me go on the lorry with him will they? nor will they pay for me to travel with him to europe (next month He is going to Germany so itll be worry central)

Will just be a standard artic and trailer probably. Just go with him. Company doesn't need to know. Obviously going abroad would be tricky without telling them, but go with him in the UK first

Artics cover hundreds and hundreds of miles daily. They are well maintained and serviced every few weeks. They want for nothing, so safety wise, they will be fine.

Not saying you was pregnat but just I saw you mentioned something about health so thought it was worth mentioning...its amazing what pills can do to your mind though... but if you have been taking them a while anyway maybe not :-) Perhaps talk to him about it but die it down? I usally say you should be open but if you don't want him worrying about you perhaps just saying you keep having these dreams and you do worry when he goes away etc..?

Gemma - something your OH said may have entered your subconscious. which may have identified a problem. talk about his job to your OH and if you can bring it round to a 'hypothetical' situation concerning those fears. you may find your fears are ungrounded. or you may have alerted your loved one to a problem. either way - talk about it!
No - you aren't going crazy - your subconscious is prodding you! through dreams.

Ive had them well before the pills. People say that these lorries are safe but they don't look it, they look big, Ive got a picture of the sort. they don't look safe, they could blow over




I'd love to go for a trip see that its okay, but I know his company won't allow it.

He left for work earlier and I had a mini panic. I don't want to get that phone call

How do you mean?

meritaten

you have given a clue - you are worried that OHs lorry will blow over - and its a legitimate one. it has happened in the past. you need to ask OH about this - what he does if gales are forecast, etc. it will set your mind at rest I think.

I have some really horrible dreams when I'm taking antihistamines, but they are not one of the documented side-effects. So maybe any meds you are taking could be the problem? I think it would be worth talking to you GP to see if you could try a different treatment for a while and see if that helps.
