I'm not the best sleeper @Lee82  And I have a dog that is playing up at the moment..

[Lee82]

What type of dog do you have? 

[oceangirl]

I have two dogs-

french bulldog and staffordshire bull terrier... @Lee82

Glad you're feeling better @Lee82 Hope you can redirect your thoughts.

I have an English staffy. He is a cutie but can be a terror at times too. 

[Lee82]

I am trying but they keep flooding in and out. I am exhausted but afraid to fall asleep. I may be able to try and control my thoughts when I'm awake but when I fall asleep thats another story and atm flashbacks seem to be happening in my sleep.

@Lee82 

My english staffy is good- its my french bulldog that was playing up. What colour is your dog? 

I'm sorry you're struggling with flashbacks and I understand that it must be tough for you. I know you can't control your thougts when you're asleep. There might be treatments to help with this? Please look after yourself. I am going to head off soon, I am needing to try to get some sleep in.

Btw my english staffy is 13 years old-  she is still the energizer bunny. Her name is Kira!!

I'm going to sign off from here and I will talk sometime today if you're around. Night mate..

Hi is a blue staffy. 2 years old. 
I was on parasason (sorry not sure if that's how you spell it) that was for my nightmares however my psychiatrist took me off them a while ago and now they have started up again.

thank you so much for keeping me company. I really appreciate your help and support oceangirl.

take care and hope you can get some rest
