So (wow I just realize how much I don't talk about myself lol I'm actually a wreck) at least once a week I suffer from sleep paralysis. It makes me so afraid to sleep these days. Every night when I go to bed I'm fighting back anxious emotions hoping this isn't the night for a full attack. When I sleep (either soon after I close my eyes or shortly before I wake up) I "wake up" but I can't move my body. Everything is very heavy and I'm aware I'm awake but I can't move. I can't breathe, and there's always someone in my room so I feel so defenseless. Imagine you being on your bed and knowing a stranger is in your house but because you're "sleep" you can't move your body. It's the scariest feeling in the world. It's even worse because my lungs don't inflate or deflate so I can't breathe. I feel like that's how I'll die one day, stop breathing in my sleep or from fright because it feels like a nightmare. I can't get out of it myself either. The only way I can is if someone wakes me up by moving my body or I fall off my bed by slowly nudging my leg over the edge of my bed (which could take hours) and then my weight pulls me over the edge. It's a struggle and I'm so glad I have my cat. Every morning he jumps on top of me and I can't tell you how many times he's saved me from a paralysis episode.

dude if it's happening that often you should probably talk to a doctor. it's not that uncommon for it to happen to some people every once in a while, but if it's this often then something's probably wrong

I've actually went years ago. The only thing they said was wrong was I should just avoid sleeping on my back.
Which helps some I guess lol but yeah there's no underlying (bad) cause to it
today was so cold, there was a time that i took out almost my entire closet trying to find clothes to warm me up, i spent the day in bed covered in blankets
now is freaging 3º C

i don't know, if it was years ago you could go again and tell them it's been getting worse regardless of their previous advice and they might reconsider
I saw The Conjuring 2 yesterday, in the cinema halls
I love going for horror movies (and movies in general) alone. It lets you soak in the movie without your annoying friends chattering away in your left ear , to mask their fear.
