So apparently last night I screamed in my sleep. I didnât know that I did, until I got a call from my dad asking whatâs wrong with me, and complaining that he couldnât sleep and had to drive into regional Vic at 5am. Maybe itâs stress and anxiety, maybe the coffee I had in the morning, but I feel so guilty for waking everyone up when I didnât know what was happening.
so many hugs, there must be something awful on your mind to have you scream in your sleep .
Iâm sorry your family responded as they did.
In my view the fact this is the fifth time means itâs even more concerning, not less. Maybe talk to your psych about it.

yo, just in case you werenât aware that was an arsehole response from your father.
You hear a family member scream in the middle of the night you tend to go kicking in doors and if they sleepinâ, you disrupt that bad dream stat

Iâm tempted to start another account just so I can upvote this a second time.
I had to read the comment a few times before I could understand it, because a father hearing his daughter screaming in the night and not running in straight away to find out what is wrong and providing comfort just didnât make sense to me. Actually berating her for it is just appalling behaviour.
@LowExperience2368@aussie.zone the only question to ask here is WTF is wrong with your father, you have absolutely no reason to feel guilty.
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone â¨2⊠â¨days⊠ago
This has happened about five times before, so they know not to run in and help me

Yeah, what you do in your sleep isnât really your fault. Donât let this on weigh too heavily on you. Like consider therapy, or meditation or sleep health stuff because screaming from sleep is an issue that your responsible for but not at fault for, if that makes sense.

Yo, wtf, you literally had no control over it! Sure it is frustrating for them - I get irrationally triggered by the sounds of snoring - but it is peak asshole behaviour to then make you feel guilty about it. Itâs not even like there are known interventions (like with snoring). They should instead be concerned for you and supporting you to get to the root of it (which benefits you AND them). Please donât feel guilty about this!!!

I donât think you should feel guilty about it at all.
Itâs something you canât help and youâre never awake to it and your family already knows about it.

Lol you didnât do it on purpose, thatâs the point. If you stayed up until 3am and screamed then I could see how youâd be to blame. But you were asleep, friend, you canât control what happens when youâre asleep.
You donât need to do anything or apologise, I get ya dad is mad but like, you donât need to berated for this, and you donât need to shoulder the blame!
LowExperience2368@aussie.zone â¨2⊠â¨days⊠ago
Yep, I agree.
