I haven't had Sleep Paralysis since when I was like 5 or 6

when sleep paralysis was really big back in the day because of all the creepypasta shit, i would only sleep on my bed facing my wall or sometimes even covering my eyes with a blanket because i was so spooked about having sleep paralysis

this was years ago though

I used to do that, sleep with the blankets over my head/face in case I had sleep paralysis so I wouldn't see anything

*That was foolish*

why haha

Suffocation

but your eyes?

In my episodes, my buddy lifts up the blankets and gets into bed with me :^)

Your cat?

No, when I have sleep paralysis. I have a specific "demon" that always appears during it.

Less wholesome than I thought :(

i didn't know they could effect the real enviroment

I thought I was so fucking smart the first time I had sleep paralysis, I thought I was going to be ok because I had my blanket over my face.
Then the fucker climbed into bed with me and started breathing in my face and licking my neck LOL

creepy

b o o f

that's fucking surreal

My kitty does get into bed with me and try to comfort me when I start having an episode, night terrors or a nightmare though. god bless that stinky little boy, I love him so much

I remember like

people say you can also have auditory hallucinations in sleep paralysis?

yes

And they're fucked up an awful

I don't recall hearing anything when I had mine.

I just saw a fucking person, thing on the side of the wall coming out of my mom's room and then leaped at me.

5-6 year old me was fucking terrified

like the fucker was crawling on the side of the fucking wall on all fours

When I was 4-6, I saw a typical shadow person, but that house we lived in at the time was fuuuuuuuuuuuuuucked

I can quickly scribble the shadow person I saw lol

I had like

some visual hallucinations due to lack of sleep

because insomnia

saw like shadow figures in the corner of my eye

Been seeing stuff like that more frequently

I've had sleep deprivation hallucinations, but they're *always* the same thing, except for one instance

not sure if I mentioned that before, but I don't really sleep well anymore after Afghanistan

I would imagine that you wouldn't, to put it nicely

Like I had enough trouble sleeping enough as it is

but that just further solidifies it

I did book an appointment or whatever with a private therapist

I had a bunk bed as a little kid, despite being an only child lol
