I've had this to some extent. I used to avoid sleep until morning because I didn't want to be alone with my mind. I had to force myself to start going to bed earlier.
Something I find helps me is to take a few minutes before I go to bed just to sit quietly and get used to my headspace before I go. If I feel too mentally unwell to sit quietly I'll distract myself for a few minutes and try again.

When I started to take antidepressants for the night my nightmares ruined any recovery.
>I was at an old mansion with pointed arched windows like in a gothic church. There was a tree with pitch black bark stretching branches like vines on the ruined wall. The vines were moving, grabbed me and smashed me against the wall and the ground. When they tossed me in the air I managed to escape. Walking down a short country lane, I arrived at a village. In the center there was a tower of hundreds of small cages filled with dirty children. On the outer side there were sausages with transparent skin, so one could see that they were filled with maggots and urine. Suddenly I ascended inside the tower. At the top I found huge pigs feeding on dead humans and even higher a pool-sized grinder, shredding every body that would fall into it.
Try having a good morning after something like this. Fortunately switching medication solved the problem.

>>660Yikes. That really sucks. I'm glad you switched meds and it solved your issue. I've had relatively similar nightmares, but never have they been related to my medication. Thought my sleep meds themselves cause a whole host of other problems.
