Ever Experienced Sleep Paralysis? · 10:01pm Mar 5th, 2018
Because let me tell you, the feeling of waking up in the morning with your body completely paralyzed is undoubtedly a scary thing. The first time I experienced it as a kid, I literally thought I was being pressed down by some unseen force. As if there were some kind of ghost in my bedroom. It wasn't until I was old enough to understand why it happens. Apparently from what I have been told is that it's completely normal for anyone to go through sleep paralysis. Not to mention it doesn't last forever once you wake up. Speaking of which, I just had another one last week, and I had to use all of my strength just so I could get myself out of bed >.<

This has happened to me once. I was in a hospital for a different medical reason when I had fallen asleep on my back in a hospital bed. According to the doctors' I had had a seizure in my sleep wich resulted in temporary sleep paralysis. While the doctors treated me, My brain was aware that I was trying to awaken but, I couldn't open my eyes. Couldn't move. Couldn't speak. I felt helpless. It sucked until I could move again.
That never happened to me before. I think.
Dude that happened to me a few years ago. I can't say it frightened me, but I was still pretty fuckin confused.

Your lucky. I'm not saying it will happen but it could happen to anyone at a random time.

Yeah...a strong bout of depression followed.
that does sound very scary
I’ve had an awful experience with sleep paralysis that caused me to question my own sanity. I saw something that I don’t think was real. It caused me to believe that I was being haunted by an evil spirit because I saw the same figure that haunted me in my dreams pop up right before my eyes and I couldn’t run, I couldn’t hide, I was just stuck in one spot.
