I

I've been having some experiences with sleep paralysis recently. I had it a lot when I was younger, but it went away when I was a teenager. It came back the night before my twentieth birthday.

I was lying in bed, trying to go to sleep, when for the first time in seven years, I felt that complete inability to move, that sense of panic that comes with realizing you are no longer in control.

I don't know why it's back. I just know that I want it to stop.
