I have been having problems sleeping recently and its not that I have problems getting to sleep or staying asleep. It is that I wake up and can't move. After doing some research I found out there is something called sleep paralysis. I have not seen a doctor about it or been diagnosed with it. This is my own research that I have done. They first time this happened was when I believe in high school. I remember it was the weekend and I woke up and I couldn't move. Not only could I not move, I could hear something growling, and feel something pushing on the mattress from underneath the bed.
There were a few times it happened since I have moved in with my fiancee. Other times I have been able to get out of it or my fiancee has been able to get me out of it if I am able to make a noise or something. Recently I have been having issues snapping out of it. I am unable to make a noise or anything to alert him to help me. I am still hearing the growling and have started seeing a shadow figure out of the corner of my eye. This is really starting to scare me to the point that I don't like going to sleep or I don't sleep for very long if I know that I am going to be the only one in the bed.
I am hoping that writing this and sharing it will help me not be scared to go to sleep. I also hope that this helps anyone else having this problem know that they are not the only one having this. Plus I think I'm scared to tell a doctor what is going on and have them think I am going crazy. I hope someone will see this and comment/message me and tell what I should do.
