hi, ive been under a lot of stress the last few days, i havnt cut myself for 3 months...and im struggling big time...my boyfriend stayed with me the last couple of nights, and when i stress or get anxious i sleep pretty bad..we had an argument on sunday and i just couldnt deal with it , my head plays games on me , and i ended up making myself sick and got into bed crying, we carried on arguing the next morning and all i could think about was wanting him to go so i could cut myself...but i dont want him to go , i dont want him to go at all , i love him....but but the visions in my head of what i could do to myslfwas just very very intense...and when it came to going to sleep i was talking in my sleep all night saying things like "help me" and "i want to go home"...i have alot of flashbacks from sexual abuse as a child...so i know what the nightmares and stuff are...just do i need help , or will they go away, im 19 now, its been years and they are still here...?

it might be a good idea to speak to your doctor about the dreams. it may be you needmore therapy of a med to help you relax before bed

Hi, I cry and sream and shout a lot in my sleep, I was sexually abused and say things in my sleep like "please no, I don't want you, you're hurting me" and stuff like that. I get flashbacks sometimes too. I spoke to my doctor and my CPN about it and they said it's just a normal thing, it's like your brain remembers things when you are ready to deal with them. I think it might just taper off and then stop, at least I hope thats the case. I checked and there aren't really any "cures" for talking in your sleep, I found this information "somniloquy, is the act of speaking during sleep. It's a type of parasomnia -- an abnormal behavior that takes place during sleep" from http://www.webmd.com/sleep-disorders/talking-in-your-sleep that basically says that emotional distress or a mental health disorder can trigger sleep talking so maybe if you take the emtional distress or mental health disorder out of the equation maybe the sleep talking will go too? Just thinking out loud there, I hope that's the case my sleep talking really gets annoying, I used to share a room with my sister but she moved out of the room, I regularly wake people up talking it's so annoying. Sorry I couldn't really offer you a cure but I'm not sure there is one x
