All I want is to be able to fall asleep. No matter what I try to do, I cant seem to shut my mind off long enough to let my body drift into sleep. Everytime I get close to being asleep, my entire body jerks itself awake and to high alert, with my heart racing and my hands shaking. Im so tired but sleep with just not come to me.....

@TennisPlayer no. i have only just now began to seek treatment for my PTSD. I do not know what course of treatment my therapist will recommend for me. she has put me on a medication that is supposed to keep the night terrors away. Its called Prazosin.

@TennisPlayer I have read about it but I havent made up my mind yet on if it is something I want to try. I do have animals that comfort me when I think I am all alone. I have 3 lovely cats. Thank you for your kindness and support. I have found some joy today. But I am also having a very hard day with my pain.
