YOU ARE NOT ALONE - A companion online community discussion board for The Mental Illness Happy Hour podcast with Paul Gilmartin

I started grad school in August and have been having increased stress about work/school. I seems like every time that i get stressed, my nightmares come back. I usually always have a recurring dream about a roach in my bed, crawling on me. It has gotten to the point that I will wake up in a panic and in my "sleepy state" I hallucinate that there is a roach in my bed. I have had to wake up my mom and dad to check my whole room before i am able to fall back asleep. I am getting acred to sleep in y own bedroom and often find myself compulsively cleaning to make sure the roaches aren't real. I know its silly but this is really haunting me.

Hope I'm not the only one.
