I hate sleep paralysis 😖

I've experienced it before. very strange

I get it pretty often and it's awful@maybaby2016

once you understand that it is completely harmless, it can be a pretty cool experience. but I totally understand why you would say that. it has only happened to me a handful of times and I thought I was being possessed lol. once I figured out what it was I researched it and it can't hurt you. just try not to panic during the experience and I read that counting can help you come out of it. I haven't had it happen to me in about two years.

I know it's harmless and I know what causes it cause I was really curious about it in the beginning but it's scary because with mine I can't differentiate between reality and dreaming and I can't breathe 😩 what's worse is how I feel when I wake up from it. Really nauseous and shaking 😖@maybaby2016

omg I just Googled it and I've had that happen so many times I thought they were night terrors because I always felt like someone either supernatural or real was in the room with me! so f-ing creepy!!

I researched it just now and realized I've dealt with it since I was young but never knew what it was. I just ignore it and pray once I wake up so I can go back to sleep

That type of sleep paralysis is so freaky!@michellevaldez4750 & I actually pray in my dreams whenever I get too scared 😂 but I know what you mean :) @soon2b2

yes! I've had that since I was a kid too @soon2b2 I thought at one point someone was trying to get into my house and I bought a gun! I also thought my son was trying to kill me!! wtf?! It's crazy. I'm so thankful I haven't had it happen regularly since my late 20 ' s and not at all in the last 2 or 3 years!

Wow that's insane! I'm glad they went away for you!@michellevaldez4750

@canaryv, me too! It was almost a nightly thing in my early 20 ' s. horrible!

Mine comes every couple of weeks @michellevaldez4750

freaky! is there anything that will help them go away? like medical treatment or meditation even?? @canaryv

I don't think so, it happens when your brain wakes up before your body so you kind of slip in and out of consciousness :/@michellevaldez4750

Oh. :( that sucks! @canaryv I'm really glad I haven't dealt with it though in a while. I hope it'll stop for you soon too.

Thank you :) :) @michellevaldez4750
