hoping I’m not going to sound to mad writing this but last night I had what felt like an outer body experience.
at first I woke and was petrified I’d lost my baby (she was in her next to me crib) I eventually nodded back off into what must’ve been a deep sleep.
next thing, I was in a dream state in my hallway. I could hear my baby cry upstairs. I went to switch the light on in the hallway when I was “pulled upwards” it felt like something had a grip on me. I can’t say what, only that I was scared and it had a tight grip on me where I couldn’t move. I was trying to scream for help and no sound would come out. I couldn’t wake up from it. I was rigid and so scared, it was like a weight was on me. I eventually ‘woke’ but was so shaken and on edge, I felt like there was something in the room with me.
im so scared to sleep tonight but I’m exhausted. I’ve read it could be sleep paralysis but it felt so real. I’ve had broken sleep since having my little girl almost 6 months ago. I don’t know if this has caused it, the medication I’m on, it was an out of body experience, or my anxiety is just finding a way to torture me in my sleep to now. Has anyone had anything similar?
