Sleep Paralysis - HELP
Post Body

So I've been having sleep paralysis for the first time since three days ago now. I'm an idiot and I am completely responsible for it as I know it is occurring due to abusing MDMA (I'm not sure If I should be saying this on here, I'm new and If so please let me know so I could edit the post).

Anyway, due to this my serotonin levels are unbalanced and are causing me to have very intense Sleep Paralysis that is literally scaring the life out of me. This begun three days ago where I had it a few times throughout the night and then it stopped two days ago but instead I was having something else; night terrors. Every time I fall asleep, I fall straight into a nightmare which causes me to wake up within a minute or two due to how scary it is and then If i was to go back to sleep the same thing happens again like an endless cycle. I probably only got 20 minutes sleep altogether the whole night which included around 10-15 nightmares in that short time frame.

Today I just tried to go back to sleep again but I'm back to the Sleep Paralysis with every time I fall asleep I go straight into it. I can feel it happening as I am falling asleep and I can kind of tell it's going to happen as my body starts to feel like It's kind of spinning or I'm kind of dizzy whilst my eyes are closed. I tested out the theory and I was right and went straight into SP. Now every time I sleep it is happening 100% of the time and causes me to wake right back up.

It's been two nights now where I haven't been able to sleep and I have no idea what to do or how long this will last. What if it lasts for weeks or even months, I won't be able to sleep at all for that long? Who could survive without sleep for that long. I think I may have completely screwed myself over and I'm not sure what to do so this is my last resort.

Does anyone have any experience or any help with this sort of issue or how I could at least avoid it and get some sleep every once in a while somehow, I really need to catch up on my sleep which is the most important thing. I'm really paranoid and I don't know what to do anymore. :'(
