Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

It is good to know that you are only 19 & so strong. Well, I hope you are not under addiction of alcohol, caffeine or drugs like cocaine, amphetamines, etc. If yes, stop all addiction for it may result in the worsening of the situation. If no, very good. Since you are strong but passing through a difficult phase of life with your dad's condition, you are obviously more stressed out & anxious. Try to watch some comedy movie, listen to music & try to stay relaxed, do not let stress overtake you. Stress & anxiety at times lead to hallucinations & you may experience what you have already narrated. Don't worry you will never get such nightmares, sleep well, stay happy eat healthy. You look very strong & demons can't take over strong people like you.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
