Its nearly 9pm here. And once again I am scared.
My flatmates are away in India for another month.
There is noone in the flat upstairs, and the family downstairs are away just now.
So I am alone in the house.
I can, thankfully, lock my room door, and always do so, even with my flatmates here. [the people in the flat upstairs,when there is someone there, have to walk through our flat]. If there is a door I can lock, I always lock it.
Also, I've been having nightmares again the past week or so.
I take remeron at night, and that helps a bit.
And of course I am working hard in therapy, and all the time. I am doing all I can to reassure and comfort the child parts/feeling states.
When I was a child, I had nightime anxiety and nightmares and was often scared at night. A few times I 'saw' things in the dark of my room. It may have been sinusitis medication induced [I was on piriton and phenergan syrups, and otrivine nasal drops, for years...] But also could equally been suppressed anxiety induced.
I'm scared.
