Sleep Paralysis

Every night, as I lay down in my bed, I have a terrible fear of falling asleep. Not because of nightmares or darkness, but because of sleep paralysis.

I have suffered from this terrifying condition for years, and it only gets more difficult. I feel trapped in my own body, unable to move or scream, while something dark and shapeless moves in the room.

At first, I thought it was just a nightmare, but then it happened several nights in a row. I always wake up with the feeling that someone is watching me, and when I open my eyes, I realize I can't move.

The first time it happened to me, I was so scared that I was paralyzed for several minutes. It was as if my body was anesthetized and couldn't respond to my orders. I tried to scream, but no sound came out of my mouth. I could only move my eyes, and that was enough to see the dark figure approaching.

It was tall and thin, with long limbs and sharp fingers. It had no face, only two red eyes that seemed to look at me with disdain. It approached slowly, and I desperately tried to move, but it was useless. I was trapped in my own body.

Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, the figure vanished, and I regained control of my body. I got up from bed, trembling with fear, and turned on all the lights in the room. I couldn't go back to sleep, so I spent the whole night awake.

Since then, I have been trying to find a solution to my problem. I have seen several doctors and specialists, but no one has been able to help me. I can only wait, with the constant fear of it happening again.

Every night, when I close my eyes, I hope not to feel that sensation of paralysis. But it's always there, lurking in the darkness. Sometimes, the figure returns, and I can feel its red eyes looking at me with disdain.

I don't know how long I can endure this. Sleep paralysis is torture, and there is no escape. I feel trapped in my own body, waiting for something worse not to come looking for me.
