Night after night Im awoken with tales of awful dreams which she wont describe , night after night, we have 2hrs of bed time wind down as she scared of bed, the lights on, musics on, Ive asked about the dreams and she finally described them tonight b to be honest Im no sure that was my best move with a ruminator such like myself. I then went on to use distraction techniques and cheered her up talking of future nice plans this week and even asking her what kind of birthday party she wants in Sept , all to distract ,but to no avail.
Im sory if IM repeating myself as I have a thread lower down about the same thing , but no one has come onto it recently and Im a bit of a crappy state, along with dd1. I was afraid of what I wouod do , so I just had to come down stairs and away and this made me start panicking.
Shes now standing on the landing sobbing and Ive hyperventilated through a conversation with dh on his way home to calm myself down.
I know that going to bed in less than 4hrs I will be up again and have it all start over.
A friend today said this is normal & not to go down the route of GP/Cahms etc , as this will only make it much worse, but what do you do in the meantime? I thought I was going really well the last few weeks , but this has shown me, may be not.
