Hi i'm a 22 year old female with 2 kids. my problem i have is If i go to sleep before my husband and he comes to bed later, i scream and use bad language really bad, i mean he says i'm really scared and terrified and he has to hold me and calm me down but in the morning i have memory of doing this. Sometimes i remember waking in the night and being very scared and terrified but its only very fuzzy memory and i only remember a tiny bit. I do have nightmares 99% of the time every night but i feel very ashamed and disturbed that if someone tries to come near my bed or me when sleeping i wake up swearing all sorts or filthy words. I dont use bad language in normal everyday life not even when i'm very angry so its really embarrassing that i use filthy language when being startled in bed. The main problem is the being terrified when being startled in bed, its just that my reaction is way to over the top and extreme. I feel like i have mental problems or something!
Please can anyone help me or suggest anything? anyone know anything about this? what can it be? i just want this to end, its so embarrassing and i dont want to do this to my husband anymore.
