Sleep Paralysis - Community discussion
Hey guys, I'm Nat. I've been struggling with depression for a long time (since i was 14) but other than constant fatigue, i havn't had many sleep disorder problems in years. I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this, so please forgive me if it isn't.
Last night, I had my first sleep paralysis episode in years. It was terrifying - I couldn't move, I couldn't call out to anyone no matter how hard I tried. I also saw shadows moving, and even though I'm not spiritual, it scared the h*ll out of me.
Today, I found that I've been struggling with basic things, like typing, or forming coherent sentences. I've debated just callign it a day and going home because I'm having trouble writing notes durign class. It's as if my body didn't fully recover from the episode and my mind is still half asleep.
Does anyone else feel "foggy" or like they have trouble co-ordinating their movements after a sleep paralysis episode? If not, how do you feel after an episode? I have not had an episode in years, and I do not know how people usually feel afterwards. I'm a little worried.
@vespxrs Hello. I have never had sleep paralisys. I encourage you to talk to a medical professional if you haven't already. Good luck & Take care.
Hello! I have had struggles with sleep paralysis since I was in my early teens. It can be really scary. If you have a therapist you can speak to about it, they usually have some helpful suggestions to decrease the frequency of the episodes.
