okay, my boyfriend has this problem, if he goes to sleep when he’s upset or in a really sad mood, within the hour, he will have a bad dream in which he cuts himself, and he’ll cut himself in real life too. so while sleeping, he’s cut his wrists, and even his waist.
normally he wakes up once he’s cut himself, but the last time it happened, on the waist, he didnt even wake up.
he’s had issues with self harm before (conciously), and though he’s only done it (on his wrists) 3 or 4 times, he’s told me that it still often comes to mind when he’s upset.
he doesnt want to tell his parents about it (he’s 15), and believe me, i know he should, but thats not the answer i need.
i would like to know, if this is in fact a sleep disorder, what one it is specifically, and what can be done (home remedies and or medication) to treat it.
please help, thank you
he is going to ask about it when he goes to get his sports physical at the doctors, but thats next month
okay, and please dont tell me he needs to see a doctor. i know that. i want to know more just what it might be thats causing this, what its called, information about it, etc..
