sorry to hear you're going through a tough time 5timuli. spend time with your mates, eat well and if you're close to your family let them know you're going through a rough patch. we all go through them and i've learned that when i'm there, the best thing i can do is not hide it (like i usually do)...it only makes it worse.
as far as the nightmares, it sounds as if you might be pregnant. ha! seriously when i was knocked up i had the worst imaginable, most vivid dreams about family members and pets dying horribly. you know, the type of dreams which manage to really bum you out all day even though you know they're only dreams. these types of dreams are anxiety-based. you must be really wound up and anxious about something, so try to relax and see the positive around you, do only the things that make you happy or comforted etc.
i hope you feel better soon!

1. repeat positives to yourself. have a morning meditation, an evening meditation. when your mind gets into a positive rhythm you begin to change your perspective.
2. make up a story about your current situation as if you were relaying it as a funny joke to someone about it years later. it will help you see that 'this too shall pass' -- the pendulum ever swingith.
3. be grateful for what you have. take a mental list of all the things you have been provided with in life and be thankful. (i.e. incredible graphic design skillz, a really kind demeanor, a great sense of humour, a loving relationship).
4. treat yourself kindly. stay away from caffeine. get plenty of rest. eat regular meals. stay away from fast food and alcohol binges.
5. as jane fonda would say, 'don't forget to breath'.
you have had it really hard and i'm almost jealous because i know how this works out! you suffer the hard times only to experience good times in the same extreme and it is so rewarding to become that much stronger and perseverant. don't get too attached to your current situation .. realize it is just a transitional point.
