The past few nights I've been having these awful nightmares. They're always revolved around the same things and leave me absolutely terrified of sleeping, in fear of the nightmares. They wake me up in complete panic around 1-3am.
The first night I had a nightmare, it was of me standing in the school hallway. I had a bottle of pills in my hand and I just collapsed to the floor. I saw myself laying on the school floor, bottle still in my hand, pills all over the floor, and white coming out of my mouth. It all looked so real, I woke up in panic. The next night, the nightmare was of me, again, with my family this time. Everyone was crying and looking at me and I didn't know what was going on until they all faded away and I was left in some kind of..mental hospital? Then I'm assuming they were doctors, came in and seemed to be surrounding me with an awful look on their faces, again, I woke up in panic. The night after that, my nightmare was of me sitting somewhere, and someone came up to me and said "what are you doing?" and I looked down at my hands and legs amd saw I had cuts lined up down my leg, which I had done myself. I woke up in panic yet again. The last nightmare I've had so far was of me being strapped down on a strecher and being put into an ambulance. I woke up and thought I was strapped to my bed and again ended up in complete panic trying to "get out" of the straps, which weren't even there.
These nightmares seem so real. None of these events have ever actually happened, and I don't see them ever happening. I'm always waking up in panic and freaked out. Can anxiety cause nightmares? If anyone has any advice for me it would be much appreciated!
