Nightmares every night

Every single night i wake up from a nightmare 2 hours after i fall asleep. Right on the dot. I dont always remember my dreams, one involved my dog going missing and finding him not alive. This has been going on 4 days now. Ive never had nightmares before right after falling asleep its usually in the early morning hours. I try and go back to sleep but i dream again all night long. And i feel disoriented the rest of the day and tired. It also makes my depersonalization worse and makes me feel in a dreamy state all day. I have anxiety and OCD. Can anybody here relate to this?

Dear sw48:

I can relate to depersonalization. I had nightmares in the past. I don't remember my dreams most often. But my childhood was really a nightmare, a living day nightmare. I felt tired ever since I remember myself, walking around in a dreamy, spaced out way, not paying attention to my physical surroundings, not paying attention to anything at all but lost in my thoughts, day dreaming, escaping into fantasy and scared the whole time, scared of what is outside of me, the hurt ready to be directed at me.
