Thread: Constant Nightmares and SP...

Hello all, I'm completely new to this website, and am hoping to get some sort of knowledge as to how to deal with what's been going on... I feel like I'm about to sound insane, but I've been having SP almost every night for the past 6 years now (I'm 21 now), and have been having nightmares every night since I can pretty much remember. The sleep paralysis is literally the most frightening thing I've ever experienced, and I could swear that some of the demonic things I see and hear are real... I don't want to sleep some nights because I'm afraid of it happening, and no matter how hard I try I can't seem to make it go away. I've tried changing my diet before I sleep, had days worth of testing, gone to therapists, even been put on medication for narcolepsy by a sleep clinic. Nothing has helped, or even subsided it. The nightmares are also out of control... I wake up crying often, and the majority of my nightmares are so awful that... I just can't even fathom why I would dream of this. Usually they have to do with gruesome murder, losing someone I love in the most awful possible way, or just pure Evil. I've tried gaining control of them, but again no matter how hard I try, I can't.
I feel like I am becoming mentally unsound because of these nightmares and the sleep paralysis, and sleep has officially become a chore for me, instead of a physical relief. Does anyone know what could be causing these things to happen? Or does anyone have any advice or help as to how to keep it from happening?
