I hope everyone has had a good day so far!
I've been awake since about 6am, mainly worrying about this recent sleep paralysis issue...
I went to see the sleep therapist today, who was a really nice lady, and explained to me that this was more common than I thought, etc. However, what she told me was the same as what everyone else has told me - it's brought on by extreme anxiety, and that the more I worried, the more it would continue. While I do respect what she had to say, I was still disappointed...I guess I just wanted the magic cure but she didn't have it for me. So now I'm worrying about worrying! She did give me a prescription for Lunesta, so I'll see how that works tonight.
To make matters worse, I told my aunt (who is a bit of an extremist when it comes to the paranormal) started ranting about demon possession and astral projecting and all this scary stuff. While I honestly don't think that's the case at ALL, my thoughts don't seem to care. This is going to sound a bit loony, but I don't want these ideas staying in my subconscious where they'll come alive in my dreams as they often do. Ugh...all in all, already an anxious day.
I just can't wait to start college already to put my mind towards other things! :(
