Lol you didn’t do it on purpose, that’s the point. If you stayed up until 3am and screamed then I could see how you’d be to blame. But you were asleep, friend, you can’t control what happens when you’re asleep.
You don’t need to do anything or apologise, I get ya dad is mad but like, you don’t need to berated for this, and you don’t need to shoulder the blame!
Yeah, what you do in your sleep isn’t really your fault. Don’t let this on weigh too heavily on you. Consider therapy, or meditation or sleep health stuff because screaming from sleep is an issue that your responsible for but not at fault for, if that makes sense.
I’ll do a meditation tonight and see how that goes. I think the screaming happens at peak stress levels. Will also check in with the GP when I go in next because I do wake up with a blocked nose quite often (probably from stomach sleeping, but could be something else).
Yo, wtf, you literally had no control over it! Sure it is frustrating for them - I get irrationally triggered by the sounds of snoring - but it is peak asshole behaviour to then make you feel guilty about it. It’s not even like there are known interventions (like with snoring). They should instead be concerned for you and supporting you to get to the root of it (which benefits you AND them). Please don’t feel guilty about this!!! e: as SaneMartigan says, you can be responsible for it but not be guilty. Taking ownership absolutely does mean recognising what things are out of your control and if your family just expects you to magically investigate every avenue and work it out (without even being concerned for you, wtf) that is really cold.
This has happened about five times before, so they know not to run in.
The guilt is because I did something that meant no one could fall back asleep.

Thanks, I think he was just tired and the emotional regulation went brrr.

I don’t think you should feel guilty about it at all.
It’s something you can’t help and you’re never awake to it and your family already knows about it.
