Comment on They call me the problem solver

It also blocks nightmares from being remembered if taken at bedtime. And it keeps your blood pressure like, textbook perfect. If you have a doc you can ask. Good luck. I have PTSD which used to cause the same thing you have.

Growing up in a time where seeking mental health was heavily stigmatized, I haven’t sought any professional help for this. “Man up” and “Tough it out” was the rule for anything short of broken bones.
You are not the first to suggest getting help, but are the first who’s had similar experience.
I think it’s time I “Man up” and admit I need help, thank you

Good on you for admitting you need help. For what it’s worth DBT has been helping my wife stop waking up in terror in the middle of the night as much if you’re interested in non chemical solutions
