I'm going to be 30

Welcome to your dirty-thirties.

Your mindset is normal, I was there once.

It will get better as you get closer to 40.

IF you get bored, go buy some jello.

Have you tried the herbal remedy?
I used to have some ba nightmares. It stops you from dreaming, or remembering it. You just don't want to over-indulge, so that is your normal mind frame. It won't have the same effect on the nightmares, if you do.
I am not sure of any other good ones out there, but stay away from melatonin treatments and Ambian. Both of those are bad for your situation, from my experience.

Good luck, never give up

Please try to enjoy your thirties as I will. I am only thirty and have also have night terrors. I never sleep more than one hour at a time and has happened for a few years. I wake up sweating so much that at times I have to take a walk to forget the dream. I believe this is a work related issue but that is only my issue. I have learned to counter this with long YouTube videos of deep space sounds. Please give a try.

Quit the whining, you will get over turning thirty in ten years when you turn forty.

I never thought I was going to make it to thirty, now I am sixty two. I guess I was wrong. My heart is still beating too fast and I have not kicked the bucket yet, kind of being afraid of hurting my toe on the bucket is keeping me alive I guess.

a reply to: rickymouse Kicking anything hurts unless it’s a football. And if I may ask what is your image? I have always wondered.

30 is the new 20....

My son had night terrors til he was around 3. Scared ME to death but dr told me it was normal for young children and it did stop. He's in his 30s now and doesn't remember a thing.

You are going through hell and it has nothing to do with being 30.

There are definitely meds and other substances I am sure will help but it sounds like you have maybe tried alot that failed you and feel like all is lost-that's normal.

Please fight the good fight and don't give up-there's some specialist out there that can help you-I'm positive about that.

My 30s were exhausting raising children but the best time of my life-yours are just starting-try to find a small spark of hope for your future.

So sorry for your pain.

Happy Almost Birthday! All is not lost. Surely there must be something that can help and people here may help you find it.

At every age there seems to be challenges and times when we are overwhelmed by it all, but still there is a beacon in the darkness. There is still much that you can experience and enjoy.

Old fart ...

The OP is gone, but several have mentioned nightmares/night terrors?

Maybe it's stress. Turning 30 is pivotal and maybe the stress is coming from your subconscious thinking "I'm turning 30, I should ..."
That "should" could be : farther in your career, be married and have kids by now, more financially stable/more savings/better house/nicer cars or any number of things.
Relax. Try to stop worrying about what you "should" be and get on with what/who you are.

I got children older than you....
Enjoy...young un

I se you deleted your OP.

In olden times people only lived to be thirty. What are you complaining about, you're only thirty.

All down hill from here bro. Welcome to the world of constant judgement, contrasts and comparisons in stature and success, and though try as you may nothing will ever be good enough, especially when you finally get it. That's when a woman will try to take it away, because (*spoiler alert*) women are in league with Lucifer and have been sent here to devour your soul.

Have Fun!

That video makes me cringe soooo bad.
I despise, i repeat, DESPISE!!!! being sticky.
The thought of how sticky those girls are.....makes my skin crawl.
I couldnt even finish watching it.
No matter how sexy it gets in that pool.
Once it starts to get sticky, im out.
