• 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 know it's been awhile since anyone posted here...but, I 've only been here a few days.

About 3 months ago , I had a spiritual attack .. I know that is what it was but it scared me to death. I woke up with the hair on my neck standing up ! It was about 3 am and I was up the rest of the night. My husband was out of town and I was alone with the kids. I could move... but I was too terrified. I just started calling on the Name of Jesus and managed to get through it. I felt so much evil in the room it was weeks after that before I could sleep comfortably. I even put the Bible in bed with me at night ! It felt like I had been asked to fight a battle against them and they were uniting to stop me.
So, I don't know alot about sleep paralysis.... but I do know about demonic power ..and even though it terrifies me... I know God's Power is absolute... He never fails me.

Anyway , Blessings to all

Wanda

You should try the Catholic Church. Don't go to be social, go to worship and learn. You will feel the Holy Spirit filling your soul. When others are leaving, just stay in your seat and pray or talk to God. I understand what you mean about some Christians and their "Holyer than thou" attitude. That is not of Jesus. Jesus was/is humble, love, compassion, joy, peace, self control. All the good....none of the bad. Find your own little spot in the back, on the side or wherever...just see what happens. God bless you and may the Peace of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ be with you now and forever. Don't be afraid and please, please try it. You will feel like you took a bath on the inside of your body!!!

But last night when I woke up from a bad nightmare, I felt alot of dread and fear in our bedroom. I stayed in bed awake for a while, and really felt something was there, I then automatically become paralyzed and heard whispering. I couldn't move at all and couldn't scream (which I tried) but it lasted a while, and my husband was asleep through it.


I used to have these experiences frequently when smoking pot and using hallucinogenic drugs every month or two.

When you sleep, your brain paralyzes your body so that you do not act in the reality of your dream. It is possible to wake up and be semi-conscious but still sleep paralyzed. The dream and reality may blend together so it seems like you are awake, when actually you are dreaming of being awake, but conscious of being asleep.

It can be very scary. I can recall being paralyzed and commanding my body to move and as much as I tried I felt infinitely weak. I also "woke" once to see a small skeleton doing jumping jacks on my couch then running out the door. :confused:

Dear Father in Heaven, Please be with your child through the pain. Encourage him, strengthen him and show him you are carrying him in your arms. Thank You, Father. Amen

I second that agreement.

Lord, get him through this rough time. We know You do things for Your purpose, to glorify You and to strengthen our faith in You. Hold this man in Your arms Lord, and show him what You want him to do for You. Show Him your unfailing love my Lord, and never let him go. In Jesus' precious name, Amen.

Wow! It's a lot to be frightened of!!
lol
It really is terrifying like..there's no denying it..
The minute it happens to me I sit up in the bed and try to stay awake...
even when I'm driftin back off to sleep I find myself tryin to stay awake in case it happens again.
It isn't pleasant.
I think it's from stress...although I can't pinpoint where the stress was coming from..I think it is.
It only happens at certain times during my life...like it hasn't happened to me in about a month and a half of somethin..and I'm reallu glad of that too!!
hehe

... I didn't mean to downplay the experience. Yes, the experience is quite frightening, but having them should not cause any alarm (thinking you are being possessed by the devil or probed by aliens or anything, etc.). I find it happens when I am at my most stressed and going to sleep while my brain probably isn't ready to rest. I have similar experiences like I used to, but about 10 years ago or more I could swear that "things" were walking around my room and putting pressure on my body. :eek:

OK, this feels a little embarrassing saying this. But last night when I woke up from a bad nightmare, I felt alot of dread and fear in our bedroom. I stayed in bed awake for a while, and really felt something was there, I then automatically become paralyzed and heard whispering. I couldn't move at all and couldn't scream (which I tried) but it lasted a while, and my husband was asleep through it. I haven't told him any of this. The feeling of fear lasted a while, and I've been up since 3am.

I've had simular experiances. Try prayer and reading Pslams 91 aloud in your room in the direction of where this entity manifests it's self. Acknowledge it is there and don't take any nonsense from this entity! This is speaking from personal experiance. It went away immediately and never returned.

For me, it wasn't paralyzed, it was being in stark terror. Overwhelmed with terror (not fear) like "something" was in my room. It happened several nights in a row, I tried to come up with logical and rationale reasons to explain it. Even when it was happening to my wife when she moved in with me.
she heard whispers and voices manifesting from parts of the apartment, I did my best to logically explain it. When she saw plates slide accross the counter top on it's own accord, that is when I had to say, Yes, it's haunted and I am NOT going to tolerate it. I basically let it know, this situation wasn't going to get worse for us, this situation was going to get worse for this entity. A tough no nonsense approach in these situations.
