Recently I've started having frequent nightmares and sometimes I wake up seeing things, or paralyzed with fear, and idk what causes this. The only unhealthy thing I do is I drink vodka sometimes, but just straight. Any ideas?

Btw I'm pretty sure vodka doesn't have anything to do with it lol

Probably not the Vodka.
Could be any number of things, OP. Are you stressed out? It's finals month.

Mhmmm google "sleep paralysis" though if you are still able to move and theres no little denon thing I dont think thats it, did anything change in your life recently ?

>>265287 don't think it's sleep paralysis. I'm not really actually paralyzed, just figuratively. Plus, it's always the same thing that gets me every morning, and it never changes so idk. The only thing that's changed is recently I've started having a more negative outlook on things I guess

Try doing something that makes you feel happy and comfortable before bed. Play a game or such. Maybe your mind needs a distraction

>>265149 Md. G/u/rl here, i'd need some more details, but if you can't move at all, cant turn your head or anything, maybe your eyes, then it is most likely sleep paralysis, there isnt much treatment for it but still see your doctor if thats the case. Otherwise, those seem like common symptoms of severe stress/anxiety, in which case the first thing you'd want to do is remove or alleviate the source of stress, i.e. finals in school, work, bad relationship, etc.

Just out of curiosity, are the things you see anyhing specific, and about how long do they last after you wake up?

>>265989 mostly it's this one figure that I always see, never changes, and usually I stay like that for like, eh, 15 min? >>265987 no I can still move, it's just that something is scaring the shit outta me so badly that I can't. It's the figure I mentioned above, but it's always just watching me. Really fucking scary mate

>>449631 its most likely sleep paralysis but you can try surrounding your room in salt or something to that effect

But that wont do anything if it is sleep paralysis

>>266518 Md g/u/rl back, it's probably not sleep paralysis, although hallucinations are often asociated with it, so there is still a possibility of it. Personally i would go see your general doctor and ask for a recomendation to see a neurologist, that would be your best option.

I had sleep paralysis once and it was absolutely scary, you start seeing things that are dangerous and your body feels extremely heavy and youre unable to do anything but watch
