Hi @dee4848, I've had a look and you appear to be the first person to talk about this on the community! It sounds like quite an unsettling experience, do you have medical support with this?

@dee4848
oh my, that sound extremely distressing.
you you have medication etc to help you.

Is there anything they can do to at least help a little

@PippaScope @susan48 Hi it started after my dad died iv been with the mental health team for years ...I have never told my CPN about it because it gives me comfort but reading on it a lot of people go paralised without illusinating .I would love to know other pols stories ...my loved ones speak to me and I can see them and feel them holding my hands ..I want to believe it's something spiritual rather than mental ,this is why I'm seeking others stories.Also before my son died he said it happened to him he said he was paralised couldn't move or speak then my dad sat on his bed and spoke to him clear has day but he couldn't remember what my dad told him....my son is no longer with us .

@dee4848,

i think you you should talk to your CPN about it.
i know it gives you comfort but there has to be a reason for this to happen. 

It maybe is spiritual, I wouldn’t know how you would find that out though.
Personally I would be scared but I’m glad your getting comfort from it x

@susan48 yes I'm going to ..Thankyou .

Hi @dee4848

I used to have sleep paralysis regularly and will still occasionally experience it, however I tend to see things that I find scary (spiders is a common one). I find it to be an unsettling experience, so it's nice to hear that you haven't felt negative about yours. It's also great that you're going to tell your CPN about this

hi i have suffered from these on a few occasions, mine have always happened as im almost asleep but not in a deep sleep where ive woken up but cant move or talk. with mine its always the same feeling me trying to call out to someone and feeling a heavy weight on my chest holding me down. ive never seen anyone or anything just a scared feeling. the same thing has happened to my son as well and hes discribed it as same feeling as mine. its scary for me but im glad they arent a regular thing.
