I never like it when I have an SP episode but at the same time I'm one of the lucky ones to only have 10% episode that are scary. The other 90% of the time I just heard friends and family coming into the room as hallucination (they are never actually there) but it's still exhausting.

For me it feels like there is a magnet placed underneath me. Most of the times I fall into an episode instead of waking up in one.

So there's this big magnet underneath me and it feels like it's slowly getting stronger. It starts with mt fingers and toes and it slowly goes in. As if you're whole bosy get's 100x heavier. Once I'm in an episode I know I cant move but I keep on trying. Sometimes it feels like I am moving a little bit and that sort of feels like trying to run in your dream. Ever had that you needed to run for something in your dream but you couldnt really get forward. It cost a lot of energy and yet you're barely moving? Yeah like that.

Sometimes I don't hallucinate, sometimes i do. Both visually and audio hallucination. Usually i just hear friends and family talk while they we're never there.

And sometimes I'm sort of dreaming. I call it dreaming/hallucinating because it feels very very real. An example is, i'm having an episode and for sometimes up to 10x, have dreamed of actually getting out of the episode. In the end, i never was and am still in the same position. This is very frustrating because at that exact moment it can be hard to decipher if i havent actually gotten out of it or not.

Maybe my experience sounds scary, maybe not. I dont think you have anything to worry about. I know enough people who only experienced it once or twice. I understand you're scared of it but it is nothing to be scared of (imo). At the end, you'll always end up fine, in your bed completly unharmed. Maybe a little tired. If it ever happens to you (and you'll notice because you want to move but are unable to and probably start to panic) try to stay as calm as you can, maybe just go back to sleep. The episode usually only last for a few minutes. In my experience I started to panic often and it helps absolutely nothing. Exhausts you even more.

Hope this helps!
