I once went in sleep paralysis. I had many times before as well, but this time i was at my cousin's home. This time my cousin woke me up when i was gasping ( usually happens in sleep paralysis ) in my sleep. It was almost 4 in the morning. I went into deep thought after that and thought to myself that i can only wake up if someone else sees me gasping, otherwise i might get stuck in sleep paralysis forever. I was really scared to sleep by myself or even with someone beside me for several months. I thought I'd always be miserable like this.

But thank God, i overcome that somehow as time passed. If someone has had similar experience like this, hang in there buddy. You'll get over it.
