I've had the same yucky dream of childhood event twice now. Barfed when it happened, barfed after the dreams. It's left me feeling really unsettled. My weakness caused harm to another living thing. Lots and lots of guilt. At first, I was with friends and that helped a lot because I was kind of obligated to keep it together. But now I'm not and my head is going to dark places.
To make matters worse, I'm pretty sure I need to see a doctor. Believe me when I say I only go when I feel there's no other option. I hate it, I hate it!! It doesn't help with the dark places either because then I think, "I won't have to go if I......"
I wish a babble friend could go with me. :-(

I'm sorry jammer, I wish I could go with you. My advice is to try to get the doctor visit over with as quickly as possible while thinking about it as little as possible. That's how I get through things like that. I hope you can find a way to forgive yourself for whatever it was. Nothing is as bad as when you punish yourself. Hang in there, you're not alone.

Jammer,
first of all, it was not your weakness-- that's simply not true. What if it were me in your position? Would you blame me?Feeling bad about what happened is one thing. Blaming yourself is quite another.
You are kind and caring and funny as hell. (Oh god! I just complimented you!)
I'm sorry you're going to dark places. I recommend medication and riding it out. Talking to friends. Writing on babble. I'm here if you want to bmail me. I bet you underestimate the support that you have here- try us and see!
As far as Dr. goes. ugh-- well you have my sympathies. The only dr. I tolerate is my pdoc, and then only because I like the promise of bright shiny pills.
((((((((gentle hugs))))))))))

Hi Jammie,
I wish I were there to go with you & also to give you a nice hug.
We've all done/said things that we don't feel good about hun. There are a few particular ones that I feel VERY badly about.
I can't remember if you have a therapist? If so, can you talk about it? I'm sorry you've had those dreams. I HATE bad dreams because it's as if the thing has REALLY happened in the night & I wake up with the emotions as if it really HAS.
SO sorry you're going through this hun.
I send my love & support.
(((((((((((you)))))))))))))) luv Kath
