Another night of almost no sleep. Then when you try to fall asleep, you have sleep paralysis. You're awake, but that's it. You literally can't move any part of your body. You can't open your mouth or eyes. It's like your entire nervous system is completely scrambled. Then you have to focus really hard to almost shock your system back into balance. This is just another sign that your trauma pain never goes away.
Now, don't let your guard down. Don't violently dissociate and black out. You have to fight back to protect your well being.
Because you have to.

I've never heard anyone else describe the experience of sleep paralysis so well. This is exactly what I feel. The willing yourself to wake, not knowing if it worked or if you're still actually asleep, still fighting to breath.
