Why is it always so hard on the middle of the night. During the day I have my moments, but for the most part I am starting to get my life going again. Then I go to sleep and sometime will wake up in the middle of the night in a panic thinking "oh my god my sisters gone" or "oh my god my fathers gone"...and then I start picturing them laying in there grave, I cant help it...Its like reality hits, maybe because our defenses are still sleeping? Its the worst feeling...almost like I don't have control over my emotions.

Nights are always the hardest. It is when we are able to think about everything. Try reading or watching some tv to get your mind off of it. Try dreaming happy dreams and keep happy memories. Take care.

I know how you feel. When something really painful is going on, I will wake up to use the bathroom, I feel a sense of dread and panic. You are not alone even though it feels like it. Hang in there.

I can relate to everyone. The nights are the hardest of all for me. I seem to tense up and start hearing all the bumps in the night.I think like a little child there's a monster under my bed.

my nights are LONG. i can get a couple of hours, then i will wake with a start, and my mind goes a mile a minute, the fear sets in, and the main theme is always am i so bad that all my family and friends had to clearly state, leave me alone. or, when will they come and take things that mean something- pictures, special gifts, the kids letters when they foreclose. i taped a special by a professor, full of life, live well, compassionate, and is dying. i try to use his advise, "not helping, not helping". sometimes it helps, SOMETIMES, but at least it's a reprise. when i can't sleep i will send peace your way. i wish i had something that would give u peace, this is all i have at this time. take good care of yourself, to the best of your ability at this point. CRY, CRY, CRY, it is ok.
