I got what u needed. what you are suffering from is called
sleep-paralysis, google it. Then take it from there. & from my experience. If your therapist isn't helping , it's time to find another one u feel comfortable with and sae with kinda like a friend. good luck

That is terrible you had to go through that. I hope you are finding this board to be a good place.
I am aware of sleep paralysis, but I hadn't considered it might be that. My other episodes of SP were very textbook, minus the feeling pressure. In this new thing it happens when I am drifting off to sleep, I think. It is hard to tell sometimes. I don't know that there is any use to knowing it could be that, unless you know how to keep it from happening.
Regardless, thank you for that and welcome to PC.
