I had a horrible dream two nights ago about losing my dad. It was different from other bad dreams, it felt like I dreamt a week in a night. I now have this horrible feeling of gloom that wont lift no matter what I try.

I had PTSD nightmares a few years ago but this feels different, maybe because those nightmares were about something I had experienced. Nothing I learned then is helping to shift this heavy feeling and was considering taking a diazepam but I'm not a huge fan of medications as have always had more success with talking therapies etc.

Anyone got any suggestions on how to move this?
