Keeping Sane
Another day in lockdown. Things are going better than I
thought they would. I wake each morning with vivid and disturbing dreams in my
mind. I get up feeling visibly shaken and that feeling stays with me unless I
do something to change it. I am taking a tablet that helps me sleep but I believe
that the side effect is these early morning dreams. At first, I would try to
keep busy and occupied my mind until the feelings disappeared but now I have
adopted a much more successful approach. I recognise that the dreams are my
subconscious reminding me of times when I was very anxious and I am now able to
look at the situation logically. I tell myself that the dreams represent the
past but I am now living in a different world where this anxiety is irrelevant.
It can only hurt me if I let it. So I get on with my day and busy myself not to
run away from the feeling but to rise above it.
