Can't sleep, been plagued by nightmares that have gotten much worse recently.  They're horrible- like the worst you could think of, that makes me  scared of sleeping and makes me lose hours of sleep.

I need to be  completely distracted all the time or else my mood gets ruined - also  though I don't know if this is why, I got out of a really bad  relationship almost a year ago now, and it wasn't an issue before then, but I don't know

I've never heard  of anything like this before, but getting a therapist or visiting  professional help is not an option for me because I'm a kid and my  family doesn't believe me. I'm a very anxious person and I think it's near impossible that I don't have anxiety but, I can't get any professional confirmation because of this

Does anybody know what this is and how I can help myself?
