Does anyone have nightmares about their triggers? I feel like sometimes I wake up from sleep and I have a really hard time with what I’ve “seen.” I know that dreams are the brain processing information and that obsessions/fears are included in that, but it’s so distressing to wake up from.

Sometimes I feel like my brain is on fire, like I can’t organize my thoughts and my brain is just sort of in a manic mode of putting whatever it wants in front of me. Other times I obsess over the distress that I experience over my dream contents for days/months/decades.

Is anyone able to relate to this? This experience is so immediately disordering and I’m struggling with responding with a recovery mindset.
