Trauma that causes sleep anxiety

My mother abused me because of her mental illnesses. One of the tithings she would do is wake me up at 3am to search my room for drugs or accuse me of having sex. She’d rip apart my room and body search me. I wouldn’t be allowed to go back to bed. Anytime I tried to nap, since I couldn’t sleep at night, I was accused of being on drugs. Now I hate sleeping alone and have horrible nightmares. I force myself to sleep every night I’m alone because my mind is too scared.

@fundip222...I'm so sorry you had to go through that as a child. I understand some of this as my childhood was extremely abusive and it still haunts me in my 50s. I had to reach out to professional therapy to get myself together. It makes a big difference and I'm taking meds for my fallout , sleep is a problem for me. Anyway I wanted you to know your not alone and there's help out there for you. This is a good start here at 7 cups. Ppl here care, I care.... praying for you 💜 ABB
