Night terrors

Liz

Hi, my son is 2, since he was I want to say 2 months old he would go to sleep but with in an hour or two he would just start screaming, crying, inconsolable. His pediatrician told me then that he believes my son had night terrors. Around 20 months they stopped 🤗 and everything was good. But now the past couple of nights hes woken up crying, and thrashing, kicking, screaming, throwing his body around, sitting up, flinging his body back down, smacking his own face.....I’m at a loss. I don’t know what I did. I don’t know what to do, how to help him. I know they say not to wake them up....but he doesn’t wake up. His eyes open but he doesn’t see me. He pushes and kicks me away but then he yells for me. I hug him and tell him I’m there but he pushes me away and screams mommy. And it last from 15 minutes to hours and I just......scared for him. I read everything you could read about night terrors, I’ve down all the research, talked to the doctors had test done. They’ve seen them and no one can do anything about it. I feel so alone. I try to talk to my other mom friends about it and no one else knows what I’m going through. They won’t even talk to me about it. 😫
