Hello
By no means are you alone. PTSD is common in people with childhood trauma and can resurface at any time
please make sure you are talking to a professional because isolation and decreased interest in things that you know will make you feel better can lead to more symptoms and I want to make sure you're ok.
Nightmares are horrible and often feel so real that it can be like reliving the trauma once again.
Be good to yourself and don't be afraid to ask for help for we are blessed with professionals trained in trauma who teach you how to cope and deal with lingering feelings.
Best of luck in your recovery,
Rox 🙂

Hi Roxie, thanks for your response. I don't have any medical insurance and even if I did it looks like none of them cover any mental health issues. I've moved to the United States about a year ago. At home, in Canada, I had just begun therapy using EMDR. Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I would jump at the chance to deal with this through a specialist but I just don't have the funds to do so. I feel terribly alone with this, my husband tries to be supportive, God bless him. But if you haven't suffered anything like this, there is no way to try to understand or feel what you're feeling. It has increased dramatically over the past 2 years. I had to move in with my Mom to nurse her until she died. I had to move back into the house where all of the terrible things happened growing up. The nightmares got really bad, and since I've moved on, after her death, the nightmares are not letting up. I don't have anywhere to turn and am very afraid of where this will take me if not treated. Thanks so much Roxie,
Kind regards,
Carolyn

I cannot say I know what you are going thru because I would be lieing. I do know there's a god that knows it all! Pray to god on this and ask him to deliver you from this! Please believe that he is able and will do it for you! And he will! God bless you

Thanks for the kind words bigred. I do pray, a lot. I know I need to find forgiveness but it's very difficult since it still goes on to this day. And I just turned 50!!! I'm afraid I'll take this to my grave. Does God not put us all here for a reason? Am I being made to suffer through this as part of my purpose in life?

Are you in the states now? People without insurance can still be treated. Find you're local state psychiatric facility and walk in and request help. They are funded by the government to treat everyone regardless of insurance.
Take care
