I have been having nightmares every night now for the past two months about an episode my mother had when I was in high school.
I was popular in school when it happened. My mother was having an episode, but didnt want to get help. she showed up to my school, so I went outside to talk to her, to try and get her to get some help. She didnt want any. The principal called the police to come and get her, and they were on their way. As soon as they showed up she had a knife and grabbed me, sticking the knife by my throat. She was threatning to kill me if they didn't back off. As soon as they were starting to back away, the lunch bell rang and all the students came out the front door, which we were directly in front of. To make a long story short, the kids were laughing at my mom, the police had disarmed her and put her in the back of the police car, and I was left there with everyone staring at me.
I keep having the same nightmare, which wakes me up sweating and crying horribly. I am shaking and can't seem to calm myself down. This happened over 7 years ago. Why am I just now getting the nightmares?? Please help.
