I keep having visions of my 2 year old daughter in near death situations or some sort of drama unfolding where death would be the only outcome
now obviously this is disturbing me when im asleep as when one of the various scenarios plays out i wake myself up trying to help her
if i went to my GP about this would them just think im a nut job or refer me to some sort of shrink who would then try to get to the root of the problem
serious or semi - serious replies only please!

|
|
By:
not really looked into it but its a bit wierd when it happens
|
|
By:
no child lives with her mum
|
|
By:
& you dont really trust her in her parenting ?
|
|
By:
are you trying to save them in these scenarios?
|
|
By:
no she is a really good mum, no worries on that part
|
|
By:
oh
|
|
By:
yep always either trying to save her or trying to protect her from somethin
|
|
By:

did you sell the fishtank

The only advice I would give you is not to seek psycho-medical advice from a gambling forum.
I work in the medico-legal industry and can assure you that morbid thoughts such as this are not uncommon and are often linked with PTSD - there can be plenty of other causes too. Go and have a chat with your GP - it won't be anywhere near as bad as you think and will probably help just discussing the matter with someone who can identify with your problem. |
|
By:
I guess you really miss the child & maybe being back with the mother isnt a bad idea ?
|
|
By:
sorry for my ignorance but what is PTSD
jayco - yes fishtank sold thankyou for enquiring again |
|
By:
post-traumatic stress disorder
|
|
By:
might keep a diary for a few weeks of when and what i keep seeing
only reason is if i go the GP he will ask me what i see and i wont be able to remember a single thing plus some sort of evidence backs my story up ... or makes me look even more fit for the straight jacket |
|
By:
as far as your dreams go, means you are worrying about her/missing her
|
|
By:
thanks Glossy!
|

By:
1. anxitey that you feel have lost them;
2. Feeling you are powerless; 3. narcissism - its actually about you - seek help if you often see yourself at their hosptial bedside and have to give them a blood transfusion/kidney Shouldn't be too bad just depends how obessive they become. |
|
By:
one thing i always see is myself sitting at a childs graveside!
proper freaks me out that bit think ill deffo get an appointment with the GP asap |
|
By:
nwm, gp will not have a clue but he will refer you
and demand ......strong word i know......that you want to see a sleep specialist |
|
By:
Yep, you are playing out your fears, its not so much about them as it is you so its actually quite narcisstic.
|
|
By:
The diary idea is a good one.
Will be fine mate - like I said, GP will have seen this kind of thing hundreds of times before. Hope you get it sorted. |
|
By:
will do
ill do an update on here if i remember jayco - will you remind me if i forget (you seem to remember my long gone fish tank, add this to the file you have on me) thanks all |
|
By:
of course i will
but get it sorted if u are worried been there myself |
|
By:
Without be disrespectful, jayco is not correct. You won't be automatically referred unless GP feels a specific requirement for this.
Not wanting to debate the subject - I handle this type of thing on an everyday basis. Best wishes. |

By:
I work in the medico-legal department of an insurance company. Organising rehabilitation and private treatment (and compo) for people following serious accidents (motor, factory, public liablity etc).

^ InjuryLawyers4U.com - 100% compo guaranteed. Nice one.

By:
Ummmm. No, I work for an insurance company. Handling claims often made against us by 'no win no fee' sols who are acting for those injured through the actions of our policyholders.
Used to work for a solicitors a few years back - before the days of 'no win no fee' though :-) |

I'm a great believer that dreams are largely expressions of anxiety. I don't wish to pry, but i assume your daughter is the apple of her daddy's eye. Her imperiled appearance in your dreams are not precognitive, they are a useful way for your subconcious to express it's anger by using the most powerful image available to it.
Relax, eat well, take exercise and examine your life to see if there is some unresolved area that you need to address. You're not going**ers, and the dreams will pass. Believe me, I know; I was as mad as a **house rat for about a decade and you don't sound the type :) |

you are definitely going**ers!......thats exactly how i started .........and look what its done to me!

Her imperiled appearance in your dreams are not precognitive, they are a useful way for your subconcious to express it's anger by using the most powerful image available to it. Exactly, I had dreams about my dad dying, it's just because you don't want them to die and hold it as a massive fear in your subconscious. This turns to anxiety (esp. seeing as you can't keep an eye over her 24/7) and expresses itself as a dream. Bring it into your conscious mind for a few minutes, recognise how you feel about it happening and hopefully the dreams will stop. :) |
