I’m from Belleville Ontario Canada. In 2020 I was a direct victim of personal cyber stalking, account takeovers and my tech devices used to monitor me.I have a hx of childhood trauma., I need psychiatric care and psychology care .OHIP covered have wait lists of years. Using a woman’s shelter in my area with a councillor wkly basis for over 2 years now. The technological interference has continued, Police wont help. Dx PTSD, prev dowith depression and generalized anxiety before the trauma in 2020.My life has been destroyed.Issue:repetitive, reoccurring, memorable nightmares since August 2020 that cause me to yell out in sleep, waking my family;move home at 45 yrs due to my incapacity to function alone and for my health. Theystop when I am woken from them but often restart when fall back asleep. These saidnightmares and terrors are vivid and memorable for days and weeks; easily recalled with detail. I have been told by my family when I yell out or speak while asleep it is clear verbal use and often distress or yelling/swearing.; help, call 911, statements of activity from the dreams. I wake up/ or am woken by my parents, when yelling out and often I can tell I am yelling out but cannot wake myself up to stop. When I do wake from said occurrences, I can be left with emotions that linger for hours after waking; tearful, sadness, anger, anxious, disturbed. I have been tracking with my Apple Watch my sleep and my REM time is very low and often occurs for a short time at the end of my sleep cycle, when I need to get up. My doctor is aware, I have had an MRI head and neck but only findings were compressed nerves likely resulting from my physical work demands and a past severe car accident. I am reaching out today because I can’t deal with these nightmares anymore and cannnot afford to live with such a deficit in my ADL’s. I I went back to work part time last year; long term care . I’ve been a nurse for 14 years in Canada. I’m needing your services but like many face major challenges r/t financing mental health care I need. Need information on my brain and how I can afford private help. Even writing this email through uncontrollable tears;2 hours since I was woke from a horrible dream with people and situational instances that happened over the last 5 years.I have been yelling, swearing at people, angry, every night without any days off from them. They have been present in my sleep and carry over into waking time constantly(4-6 times/week but this week has been anytime I fall asleep, naps, night, early mornings, and they are so vivid. Memorable.Effect my ability to work again. I probably can’t afford you, but I needed to reach out and look for assistance, or other services you may know of in Canada or US that I could afford or utilize. Thank you for you time. Sincerely Laura McQuaid
Hypnotherapy could be an option. I have had much success with gut-brain hypnotherapy and there are trauma focussed hypnotherapies as well. Just wondering if this might help.
