Alright here's the deal I just had my wonderful daughter ten months ago and that's relevant only because of the time line. Ten months ago I started having bad nightmares frequently enough to disrupt my sleep patterns. Although I'm not sure it would be right to say that the nightmares are disrupting my sleep patterns per say because I make the choice to avoid sleep to avoid the nightmares. Anyways my husband has taken the all too familiar oystrich position on this matter and I'm no longer sure of what to do. I can't keep on living off of three or four hours of sleep especially with my new child.

I know my problem isn't unique I just don't know what to do about it. I'm tired of feeling like a zombie and I'm tired of being upset. My family is very unsupportive (my mother says I'm sinful because I live in fear of my nightmares and my husband has taken the role of an oystrich in sand). I don't want any to feel bad for me I just want some advice that I can rattle around in my head for awhile and maybe apply to my situation.

Hopeful.
