Ooh, yikes. I experienced sleep paralysis exactly once in my life and it was the most terrified I’ve ever been, especially not knowing at the time that any such thing exists. Sympathies that you had to deal with it to a much greater degree, and so glad for you that it’s not a problem anymore. 💜

Yeah it definitely sucked quite badly while it was happening, though I am oddly glad that I was forced to experience it.

Now I can kinda claim that I survived a demon sitting on my chest and torturing me for hours at a time. And I did it through science!

You have a great and commendable mindset! I’m glad you’re doing better and you can freely talk about AND used it to improve yourself!
