Question: I’ll write more tomorrow because I’m too exhausted at the moment. I’m petrified to sleep – it’s getting worse & worse every single night – harder & harder to “snap myself out of it.” I’ve heard of SP before but last night – i was finally convinced it was something evil. The breathing’s getting harder and it literally felt like something was doing this to me.
I was asleep on my parents couch, laying on my right side – and it was as though something or someone was pushing as hard as they could against my back as if to suffocate me with the back cushion of the couch. I’m going to lay down on it right now – and again, as i do nightly, i will pray for God to allow me to wake up alive.Sometimes i think it happens because i think about it & fear it so much leading up to falling asleep – that maybe i’m the cause of it’s onset myself. I’m just glad i’m not alone – i thought i was possessed. i hope to be able to write more tomorrow – but if tonight’s any worse than last night – i fear there won’t be another night for me. Goodnight all.Kevin: I’m glad you found us too Bill. And happy to hear from you. I strongly recommend reading the book I talk about here. It’s about taking control of your sleep paralysis, written by a guy who’s battled it for almost two decades. I hope the strategies within can help you sleep much more peacefully. Let me know how it goes,Kevin
