I had my first PTSD attack/episode/whatever you want to call it since Christmas in the early hours of this morning.
I finished another course of intensive CBT just before Christmas and I’ve been pretty much fine ever since - obviously not cured, but much more able to keep a lid on the unwanted thoughts/flashbacks etc, so in turn that appears to have helped my sleep in put a stop to most of the nightmares.
But last night/this morning I don’t know what happened. Sad I’ve had no more stress than usual, nothing in the last few days or weeks that would trigger the nightmares again, but still I woke up around 4am after one of the recurring nightmares Sad The usual symptoms: hysterical crying, sweating, had to get up to vomit Sad Scared my DH half to death.
Don’t know why I’m posting really. Guess I’m just trying to make some sense of WHY this has happened again, completely out of the blue when I’ve been more or less fine for the best part of 4 months Sad

Hi OP well done for doing so well. As you say theres no obvious triggers, are you rundown? Change of seasons?

Can you revisit some cbt techniques that helped you? Flowers
