[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 244894, member: 1550"] No problem. When I was spiraling into depression, I'd have horrible, scary nightmares that abated when I was stable again. For me they really didn't have anything much to do with my life or my subconscious...they were a message to me that I needed to get my medications adjusted...that my biology was talking to me. I did not sleep well when I would have these nightmares either. It was scary to be awake or asleep. I so feel for your little one. In "The Bipolar Child" (and I don't know if he has it or not--just FYI) there is a chapter on the graphic, unusually frightening and gory dreams that bipolars have. Seems that when dreams quit in most people--like BEFORE the head is chopped off--they CONTINUE with the bipolar. They actually dream the whole nine yards with all the gore and blood and often talk about it in real life because it is so vivid. It can't hurt to have another evaluation. Anxiety goes with mood disorders (and autism spectrum disorder too) like Soup and Sandwich--unfortunately. High anxiety often indicates depression, at the very least. Take care! [/QUOTE]
