the ''BAD DREAM'' that torments me.

HI. I try to keep my comments positive and insightful on this forum. Ocassionally i too need to express my feelings of sadness too. I awoke about 30 mins ago becuz i was tossing and turning, my mind was being battered by a dark storm that sometimes likes to pop in and leave its dark clouds. I don't remember all the fine details, but in it , i hear and see my father. In my dreams, i am young and i see and hear my father...as negative and selfish in all his glory. Trust me when i tell you, this guy was and is a prick (jerk aint dead yet). In my dreams , he is criticizing, scolding, yelling, putting me down. Always full of anger, always sulking. I hear my voice (i dont see myself) asking for things, like a child asks normally of a parent. Things like how about going to the park across the street, or asking if we can one day go fishing, can i have a dog, or just to come away from his tv set and look at the puzzle i might of just made. His answers were always NO and ''stop bothering me''--''leave me alone''. A dickhead is a dickhead. I also see and hear him yelling and criticizing my mother and threatening my older brothers with harm if they didnt listen to as ''commanded''. I now realize he was the root of my self esteem problems and my anxiety and depression. When i awake in the morning and i am in a bad mood, it is becuz he is stuck in my head and its my lifetime job to forget the past (he has been dead to me for 13 years-tho still alive) and remember my life lessons on how not to be a jerk like him. This is why i post positive comments and how negativity can ruin your confidence and self esteem, leading to depression, anxiety and other issues. Thank you for those who read this, i just needed to say this.

Your positive focus is a lot to up keep when memories like that resurface, especially in your dreams, as most of us don't have control over what we see while we're sleeping.
It's completely healthy to need to vent out the negative, as long as you're not focusing on it, just allowing yourself to feel it, then letting it go. (This is a lesson I am still working on, by the way... :wink: )

Anyway, I just want to say that I truly admire your optimism, savage_beagle. :D
