People with sleep paralysis, can you describe what yours feels like?

So today I had multiple episodes of sleep paralysis during a nap. I don't think I get the classic hallucinations that everyone talks about (shadow people, someone standing in the room, etc.),I'd completely freak out if I did.

What I do remember is this really weird loud sensation in my head. The best way I can describe it is like a really loud elevator going down, or some kind of constant rumbling/vibration. It would last for 2-3 min and id manage to open my eyes again for a moment only to be snapped into another ep of SP..I realised what I was going through but was too exhausted to actually get up

The other weird thing is that I also felt like I could still "see" my room. It wasn't like I was fully awake, but it wasn't a normal dream either. I can't tell if it was a dream or i was hallucinating my room during the sleep paralysis episode.. Also, does it leave you feeling extremely exhausted?

Does anyone else experience sleep paralysis like this?

How's life with siblings???

I just read a post of someone whining about their sibling, how this younger brother apparently always infuriates them, records them while arguing, sneaks in to take pictures while they are asleep and share it with their cousins and how they are always fighting and never at peace, and sounded like quite a menace..glad I don't have one such..

However I have also heard from people who are pretty close with their siblings, where they look out for each other.. I heard from so many people online, how they ended up prepping the most terrible dishes and noone tried the meals, except their siblings who also appreciated them and so there are people grateful for their siblings because they are like lifelong friends and family, most importantly..

What has your experience been?

What exactly is the point of life?

I've spent nearly the past two decades trying to figure that out, and I still haven't found a legitimate answer. What exactly are we here for?

Before anyone comes at me with the age-old concept of "goals" and "accomplishments," take a second to look around and witness the sheer extent of suffering in this world. We don't talk about it enough.

It's tragic that we're thrown into this existence against our will and burdened with consciousness. Now I can't merely witness children being tortured by war, starving to death, or innocent people losing everything and simply move on. I can't come to terms with someone my age—full of life, dreams, and hope losing their battle to a terminal illness when they desperately wanted to live.They too had dreams.

It still haunts me to think about all the people who were killed mercilessly simply because they happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. How are we supposed to not completely crash out over that? They deserved this life just as much as you or I do.

The only reason many of us are still here, living relatively normal lives, is because we were fortunate enough to be born into safer circumstances. We got lucky. Yet somehow, we've learned to accept that the suffering of others is just something we "can't do anything about." We are supposed to be desensitized and serve ourselves.

What concerns me most is how quickly people return to normalcy after something truly soul-shattering happens. Tragedies dominate the news for a few days, everyone expresses outrage, and then life goes on.

And then, there's people who are still optimistic about bringing life into this world, for them to probably suffer more and ponder over the same question for the few decades they get to be here..

to the life i couldn't live 🥀

Oh, to live a secluded, low-cortisol life in the hills… waking up every day to birds chirruping and a gentle breeze drifting through the room, slowly easing into your morning routine without a sense of urgency hanging over you...

To have an abundance of good books waiting to be read, without some demonic deadline clawing at your mind, rushing you through the day like a freakin bot running on autopilot.

To actually have the privilege of living life at your own pace ... spending more time doing more of things that bring you joy and existing without constantly having to perform or check off societal expections....

To have slow evenings where you can gently sit in the balcony,sip coffee and journal about life..

To simply live..... and heal with nature ✨

Is working out at home with dumbbells actually effective for getting toned?

I recently bought a pair of 10 kg dumbbells and started doing strength training at home. I was wondering if home workouts are actually effective in the long run, especially for building some muscle, getting toned, and improving overall fitness.

For people who train at home with limited equipment, how much progress can realistically be made? Is a pair of dumbbells enough to see decent results, or does one eventually need a proper gym setup?

Apart from diet, what are the most important things to focus on to actually get results — like workout structure, progressive overload, consistency, reps/sets, rest, etc?

Would love to hear from people who have actually transformed their physique through home workouts and what worked for them.

Has anyone felt this way?

​

​

This one's going to be a bit eeire. I have a love hate relationship with the paranormal, where learning more about them intrigues me however, their presence terrifies me and it has impacted me to the point where I can't sleep in a dark room at night, when I leave my room at night in the dark hallway, i hallucinate and imagine figures standing before me, sometimes i feel presence and it has happened multiple times, tho I don't have any evidence to back up..

​

Everytime I fall asleep at night, I feel like I'll spot a shadow walking to and fro the room through the transparent window and it fw my brain..

​

I've had multiple episodes of sleep paralysis tho I'm not implying both are necessarily co related but this is actually becoming an issue for me, I'm 21 and i struggle to stay alone in the house because my brain fabricates narratives like someone's there, someone's there in the other room and I'll get a jumpscare and it's embarrassing..

Why do I end up like this?

pata hai aaj kya hua, so we had to pay our exam fee today in cash, which is 1200/- btw and 1000/- for backlog, so while i was in train headed towards my college, I received a call from my friend crying to me that her grandfather passed and that she'd send me the money online and i should pay it on behalf of her..and i was so sorry to hear it and I would have helped if I could, but due to some issues of having to change the ph number linked to my bank account, transactions are not taking place atm, and that is not even the main problem, I did not have enough cash on me to pay her fee as well and I am so guilty tbh but it seemed like I genuinely had nothing to do..I came home later, messaged her, apologising again asking whether someone else could do the needful for her, but she is so mad at me, she has not replied but it is ok ig
