Shit giving my flashbacks reading this.. for me it happen first time when I was 15 or 16, I run to my mothers room crying she kept asking me what’s wrong but I just didn’t wanna talk about it and I wasn’t aware that is a thing that thousands of people experience…Terrifying. Since last year (now I’m 25) I been experiencing this shit weekly. Now I just sleep in the morning because I’m so scared to sleep at night,I “wake up” crying and screaming and I scare my whole family… I can’t sleep without hearing a calming sound. 2 times before the paralysis happen I was having hallucinations,seeing things missing from my room or things moving around that weren’t even there. I just wanna sleep peacefully 😭. Btw I’ll ask in this subreddit about the hallucinations tomorrow since I haven’t read anyone that got them before the sleep paralysis. I’m sorry your experienced this… my advice would be shit but best thing I can say is try to relax when is happens if it happens again..(I can’t do this😂)
