• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

I have had a similar experience. I have had what I believe to be demons attack me- I was lying in the bed and about 3 or 4 of them surrounded me and held me down, I could not breathe and I was literally suffocating. I was able to view this happening to myself- but I could not move or get away. This happened more than once.

I remember talking to my mother about this and she told me to call on Jesus to save me. So the next time it happened- they appeared and thru a black veil over me and laughed and said "we got her this time" and I remembered what my mom told me. So I just called on the name of Jesus.

The Bible says that demons tremble at the mention of his name. I said "Jesus, save me" and the vanished. They never came back- Praise God for that.

Have you called on the name of the Lord Jesus Christ when this is happening? If not, try that. Also, try to pray for God's protection before you go to bed or take a nap.

There may be some demonic attack coming against you and I pray in the name of Jesus Christ that it will be broken.

Psalm 34:4: I sougth the Lord, and He heard me, And delivered me from all my fears.

I've had the same experiences also. I started getting them when I was 13, when I started reading the bible. My sister has had the same experiences. She told me many christians experience that... lying in bed, can't move, and sometimes hear demonic voices ect... When I go to bed, I always say a prayer for protection from any evil spirits, demons ect... When I sometimes forget to pray, it'll happen. When the attack happens, I keep praying to Jesus. "They" go away, just keep praying.

Hi Lotusbl0ssom

As a child, I went through something quite similar. The answer was Jesus, our Saviour. I asked Him to help, and told Him that I was very afraid. He freed me. That's the best advice I can give you. Pray, whether it is out loud, or if you are paralyzed, in your thoughts. The Lord hears you, just ask. And by all means, talk to your local Pastor/Preacher. God is bigger than whatever it is that's bothering you like that. If you want, PM me - I'm always willing to listen. :hug:

This sounds like you are describing a point when your waking up?

When we are in a deep sleep our body disables the nerves that go to our body. This is so that the dreams we have wouldn't be acted out. People that sleep walk don't have this happen so sometimes when they are dreaming they act out their dream. If you are in a deep sleep and want to walk up too fast you try to be concious and move before the body can get the nerves operating again. Its some chemical change in the spinal collum.

I don't remember the technical name for this.
Hope that helps.
