Sleep Paralysis

Only half conscious, I lay in my bed unable to move; my shouts in my head. A feeling like this is like I am dead. I wish I could move but I’m stuck here instead- unknown.

I am a long time sufferer of sleep paralysis and my mother always told me myths from the motherland that spirits sit on you while you sleep. Which did not make it any better. If you find yourself in this position don’t freak start by wiggling a toe. Being paralyzed as you wake up is scary and sometimes you sense things that aren’t there.
