Who else has consistent SP to this degree of severity?
Need to vent.. I’ve been trying to find other ppl that get SP to these extreme degrees. I get SP regularly (ESPECIALLY when I take naps) overall though, I’ll seem to wane in and out of phases where I’ll have a high frequency of episodes followed by a few weeks of nothing at all. When I say high frequency im talking at least once per day. The the majority of why I label these episodes as severe, however, isn’t from the frequency. When I wake up into the paralysis, after a minute or two of INTENSE focus, im able to temporarily break out of it (im talking half a second of movement) before I lock back up again.
This can cause some issues bc when im able to break free for a moment, I’ll jolt upwards to try to sit up before immediately locking back up. This causes my body to lock up while in motion … so I’ll fall back into an extremely uncomfortable position hence making me more anxious. There’s been times I’ve started to stand up, before locking back up and my head, legs, and the rest of me going limp and falling to the floor. (luckily something intense like falling on the floor will end the episode)
THIS BRINGS ME TO LAST WEEK. it was VERY slow at work all day so i was sitting in the break room watching dumb reels on my phone. I started to doze off and next thing I know im in SP. long story short, i did the thing where i temporarily broke free for a second and then locked back up. Unfortunately i was sitting in a chair, so when I locked up I was still sitting but my torso was in forward motion. This ended with me literally rocking forward head-first into the ground. I SMACKED my head into the floor and then the SP episode ended. THANK FUCKING GD no one was in the room to see that bc tons of ppl don’t even know what SP is , im SURE they probably woulda sent me over to get a UA / my labs done lmao
Anyone have SP this severe?
