help, nightmares again

ugh so tired of these nightmares. every night i try to sleep but i'm waking up drenched in sweat and my heart racing. coffee used to help wake me up from it but now it's just making me jittery. i feel like a zombie during the day. does anyone else just feel exhausted all the time because of this? looking for any tips that don't involve choking down another sleeping pill.

i tried keeping a journal to track them but idk. writing it down seems to just keep it fresh in my mind. stupid brain. like can't it pick a better time to freak out, maybe when i'm actually awake? just really feeling it today, like all foggy and in a haze. i'm so over it.
