I try to attempt the DEILD anyways, but it just doesn't seem to work so I get up and write down whatever I happen to remember about my dream.
All of this leads up to the fact that after getting up, I attempt to WBTB. (it should work, right? Because I already slept for 5-6 hours) When I try to go back to bed, though, I can't fall asleep because I'll lay too still, and then I'll feel the beginnings of sleep paralysis, and I try not to notice it, but I do, and it keeps me awake, and I haven't been able to successfully WILD yet, so I just lay there feeling odd and not sleeping...
Is there something I can do to help me fall back asleep normally?

Try using alarm and set it to 3 hours after you get to sleep if you cant fall asleep after 5-6 hours.

Mm, ok, that makes sense! Haha. I may try that tonight, thanks!
