Stupid thread, guess I am just depressed.

Could these dreams be related to your reletively new rank? As a seargent, you now are responsible for a lot of lives while you're on duty. Maybe, deep down in your sub conscience, you don't feel worthy of the responsibility, or...lemme rephrase that...maybe you are still a little bit nervous(subconsciously) that you might **** up while all these people are depending on you.

thats a good point, i never thought of that. im a pretty damn good NCO, though, id like to think i would be the same in combat.

matthew.. im on aim with you now..
but i have a theory on this.. when i find my self very stressed out.. wether it be work.. iwth my girl.. money i always have a reoccuring dream that wakes me out of a solid sleep. i wake up hot and sweaty, confused and disoriented.
the dream feels so real, my arms are usually knumb and tingly and i cant move them.. the deam is wierd.. same as your tho same situation, different places.. except in mine i am always falling.. and i wake up right before i would hit teh ground... craziest part is.. in my dream. my life flashes before my eyes..
i know it sounds far fetched but i have come to a conclusion. this dream takes what i am scared of most (heights) and substitues it for what is goin on in my life. the fact i wake up everytime is like my body telling me i can get over anything if i try.. does that make sense?
maybe im just a wack job. who knows

 

[mypfizzle]

ie.. maybe your biggest fear could be something militart based.. so when things are going on in your life your body uses that to tell you?

 

[Matthew]

no that makes sense. i dunno, maybe a combo of what truc, you, and natey said. something depression or anxiety based about leading troops in combat or something.

 

[mypfizzle]

could be.. maybe your biggest fear isnt failing for yourself.. but failing for others (your troops)..

[Matthew]

oh yea, i wouldnt be concerned about myself of course. its about the troops once you become an NCO.

Hey Matt, can't help you with the dream thing but I have taken a few anti-depressents myself....not for depression but for other medical reasons. Anyway, you could ask to try "Effexor XR" - most anti-depressants I've taken make you tired as s*** but that one didn't for me. If anything I was less tired while taking that one. I have no idea how it works for depression...but it is classified as an anti-depressant. Maybe you should try it.

 

[Matthew]

well mainly i take mine for anti-anxiety...not really depression.

well mainly i take mine for anti-anxiety...not really depression.

Oh, in that case do NOT take Effexor XR. If anything it make me MORE anxious!(yupnope)

im not sure how its related but i had a recurring dream for over 4 years, no clue why and no clue why it went away.

back in 98 my mom had a white honda accord and we would always drive it from dallas to okc to see family, in the dream im sitting in the backseat listening to my cd player (from a first person view), then a split second later i see the accord flipping end over end into the ditch on the side of the highway and i see myself standing on the shoulder holding my cd player watching it tumble. Scared the living hell out of me. But like they said a trip to a therapist cant hurt anything.
