Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
Why do I feel pain in dreams? It hurts, but the pain is not real, I do not feel it when I wake up. I have never been physically abused, but I keep getting too realistic nightmares. I am a 20-year-old woman, with BPD, currently taking antidepressants.
Please help.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I went through your query.
This is a concerning issue, and I understand the distress it causes. While pain in dreams is not uncommon, its intensity and recurring nature in your case warrant professional attention.
You are not alone in experiencing painful dreams. Many people struggle with this, and there are effective ways to manage them. Do not hesitate to seek professional help. Talking to a therapist or joining a support group can provide valuable resources and support.
Focus on self-care and prioritize activities that promote your mental and emotional well-being. By taking these steps and seeking professional guidance, you can gain a better understanding of your dreams, develop effective coping mechanisms, and improve your overall sleep quality.
Please do not hesitate to ask any further questions or share more details about your dreams if you feel comfortable doing so. I am here to support you in any way I can.
Thanks and regards.
