I'm paranoid of sleeping because there's the possibility I'll have the same reoccurring nightmare. 5 years ago I had a life altering event happen and I've had the same nightmare for those 5 years since about said event. I work overnights thankfully so I sleep during the day a lot, which somehow deters the nightmare. But even a small amount of stress, insecurity or anything else, it gets me. I have no insurance or out of pocket money for professional counseling. I feel it trying to get to me.
