Ok, so before i went to bed i saw some shady car outside, but i was like w.e, just some drunk guy. So before a i went to bed i left this weight by my door so if anyone opened it i would wake up. So my dad gets home from work and checks up on me (make sure i didn't sneak out or w.e) and as soon as that door hits that weight i wake up freaking out and screaming but i was paralyzed with fear b/c i had my pocket knife in my hand but i couldn't move my body. Now im paranoid of being abducted or some shit and i can't sleep :/. My dad comes into my room to check on me every single day and i never freak out/don't even wake up but for some reason today, i woke up scared out of my mind and im also angry at myself that i can't control this fear and just go back to sleep...

does anyone know why i was so scared today? and anyway to get over it because its pissing me off ;/

anyone with a knowledgeable input is appreciated

Sleep paralysis. Most common occurence for people believing they were being abducted by "aliens", or in the Dark Ages the "Incubus" or whatever.
You "woke" from your dreaming state, but your brain hadn't given you control over your body yet.
Nothing to worry about unless it keeps happening a lot, then go to the doctor for some sleep meds.

yeah this explains a lot thanks lol

because you were expecting so you slept lightly, regular days your not so you sleep heavily.

Therapy is how a lot of people get over conditions like that... To do that without therapy, you'll have to reach some sort of "epiphany" on your own that there's nothing to worry about, and truly get over it.

false imo
its just sleep paralysis, and hes probably just really paranoid... he'll probably get over it in like 3 days.
he sounds like hes 14 or 15. lol
could be wrong though.

Gfg sig sir.

beta blockers for you.

Your a pussy

I used to experience a form of sleep paralysis. I would be kind of half way awake where my mind would be half-awake but I couldn't move and feelings of shock would go through my body. Not electric shock but mental. It eventually stopped happening on its own. It only went on for a little while not years or anything.
