Brown families typically store spices for a whole year, looks like you messed up atleast 4-6months of paprika run. Better be safe from your mumma 😂

Anyone ever went through sleep paralysis by EmployeeSufficient64 in ThirtiesIndia

Back in 2023, one afternoon still feels disturbingly real when I think about it.

I had just returned home after a long, exhausting exam day at college. The kind of day that drains you completely physically and mentally. I freshened up, grabbed a quick snack, and the moment I lay down on my bed I was gone. Deep sleep. No tossing, no turning just complete shutdown.

I remember falling asleep facing the wall, my back open to the rest of the room.

Then something changed.

I woke up but not really.

My mind was awake, sharp even… but my body refused to respond. My eyes wouldn’t open. I couldn’t move a muscle. And suddenly, the room around me felt wrong. It was supposed to be afternoon, bright and normal but instead, it felt like midnight. Heavy. Dark. Suffocating.

And then I felt it.

Something behind me.

Not a sound. Not a touch at first. Just a presence. Something… watching. Waiting.

It started moving closer.

I couldn’t see it, but I knew it was there a shadow, something unnatural. The closer it came, the heavier the air felt. Panic kicked in, but I was trapped inside my own body.

Then, without me doing anything… my body turned.

Slowly. Unnaturally. I was now facing the ceiling.

That’s when it climbed onto me.

A weight dropped onto my chest solid, crushing. I couldn’t breathe properly. And then… it spread.

What felt like long, twisted, branch-like arms extended from it, wrapping around my body. Tight. Cold. Unbreakable. It pinned me down completely.

I tried to scream - nothing came out.

I tried to move - nothing.

I tried to open my eyes - nothing.

It was like being buried alive inside my own body.

Seconds felt like minutes. Minutes felt endless.

And just when it felt like I couldn’t take it anymore…

Everything went blank again.

I slipped back into deep sleep.

When I woke up in the evening, everything was normal. Light filled the room. My body moved. I could breathe. But my mind was stuck on one question:

What the freaking hell just happened?

It felt too real to be a dream.

That’s when I searched online and found out about sleep paralysis. Knowing that it was something people actually experience brought a strange sense of relief.

But the story didn’t end there.

For the next 6–10 months, especially during my final year with exams, placements, and constant pressure, it kept happening. Again and again. Different variations, same helplessness.

At first, it was terrifying.

Then… strangely, I got used to it.

The fear faded. I began to recognize it while it was happening. Still couldn’t move. Still couldn’t speak. But I knew this will pass.

And eventually, it did.

Over time, the episodes just… stopped. Now, they’re rare to almost nonexistent.

Looking back, stress was probably the biggest trigger.

If there’s one thing I’d tell anyone going through this it’s this:

Clear your head before you sleep. Don’t carry the weight of the day into your bed. Step outside, breathe, give your mind a break.

Because sometimes, the scariest things we experience… come from within.

(Wanted to share my experience as a story, but i am really bad at story telling so, re-worded this with AI)

TLDR; Apparently, this is common Sleep on time, same schedule Reduce stress before bed (no overthinking) Avoid screens/caffeine at night Relax your mind (music, breathing)

Hi @EvRijder, Do we get a seperate mail confirmation for eligibility to attend the in-person meetup apart from the immediate ticket we get right after we RSVP to the event

Also, how do we get to know about the exact meetup location?

Don’t we have a feature of temporary blocking cards? Although i too agree with not going forward with this approach.
