What is it like to experience sleep paralysis?

Mend your heart, your emotional wounds and reach out to your family, it says.

I had a terrifying dream that has left me shaken. A mishappening that one of my close family member has passed away. It was as if someone is giving me dire warnings for the next few days to come. As if a mysterious force is guiding me into future. As if some strange energy is screaming at me to start believing my intuitions. To pay attention, to trust my instincts, and to take immediate action.

It's funny, because I don't usually talk to my parents about my life. We're not super close, and there's a big age gap between us. But despite that, I love them dearly.

What made you feel disgusted today?

I felt a sudden jolt of fear. I was scared as shit. I wanted to move. The fear was so intense that I was out of the dream now. But the eyes,damn! They won't open. As if they were stuck by a glue. My hands were stuck around my neck and it felt like a noose. I was sweating and wanted to move, but I was frozen. My hand started paining. I was sleep paralysed for the very first time in my life.

I got back from hospital and as usual was about to go for an afternoon nap. I envy those who can fall asleep in minutes, but for me, it's an elusive dream. I struggle to driff off to my dreamland. So recently I've found a hack for it. I open youtube, play the sleep asmr videos, put on my earbuds and just lie down.

Intuitions, they are there for a reason, it says.

Downright scary.

Today I did the same and within minutes I went into deep sleep. Now what woke me up was very strange. And It had happened for the very first time.

The experience has lingered, prompting me to reevaluate my connections and heed the warning signs from my subconscious.

Ive been pretending to be okay and acting as normal as possible, but Im actually completely heartbroken after a recent breakup. Its painful and really affecting me, to the point where I cant concentrate at work, Ive lost my appetite, I cant sleep, and It feels as if my whole world has been turned upside down. I loved him so much. He said so many cruel things to me and it made me realize he must not have loved me the way I loved him, or he wouldnt have said such horrible things. How do I handle the heartbreak and why cant I accept that he didnt love me and just forget about him?
