Night Terrors

Not PTSD flashbacks

Imagination gone crazy

Gore not necessary

Horrific imagery

Traumatizing dreams

 

Time is meaningless

Earthquake of the soul

Result from some anti-depressants

Radical nightmares

Occurring during sleep

Racing heart

Scared to sleep.

This is a very true to reality poem, well composed.

Thank you, KL, for your kind words.

I know this one firsthand, and I'm not even taking any anti-depressants, it's all that crap stuck in the gray matter, it comes out at night to haunt us...well said.

Thank you, Frieda. Wish you or anybody else, didn't have to experience these terror. One of my failed anti-depressant is noted for it's night terror. For 10 days after stopping it, my sleep was filled with these dreams on steroids.

Steroids will mess you up no doubt about that...hopefully you find something that doesn't alter your consciousness that way.

I am giving up my search for the right anti-depressant/anxiety med, after trying eight of them, in various cocktails, over the past 7 years. My body can't take it anymore.
