I know this is not about my ds but uts effecting him. I have suffered from Night Terrors on and off for a few years. I say "suffer" because that is how it makes me feel. I wake in the night and think I see people standing at the end of my bed. I let out a blood curdling scream and swear and shout, then try to hide or attack whatever it is i see. It is absolutely terrifiying. I have not had them for a while as I noticed i left the curtains open slightly and let some night light in I did not have them also I always remove anything that looks like a person eg. jacket hanging off wardrobe etc. Last night it was a bad one, I woke up thinking I could see my ds standing at the top of our wardrobe, I jumped out of bed towards the wardrobe screaming uncontrollably, i thought my baby had died. It took a few minutes for my dh to calm me down, i just kept screaming and pulling at the top of the wardrobe before bursting into tears. My heart was pounding, I came over sweaty - basically my body was in a state of shock. I could then not go back to sleep as i was totally paranoid and aware of every noise etc. Needless to say my screams woke my terrified ds who cried his little heart out, he must of got a awful shock, one minute sleeping soundly, the next mummy screaming in a frenzy at the wardrobe. I really dont know what to do, has anyone experienced this, i dont know why i get it, there is no pattern. It takes a minute or two after i have woken up to realise i was dreaming so i am actually in a sleep state as i can see the figure right before me, sometimes i keep rubbing my eyes to wake myself up. I would appreciate any help/advice, i just dont know what to do. i dont want my child to experience that again
