It was indeed scary, but I did not think to ask for help then. Maybe I was embarrassed. Back then, mental health is a taboo topic. Also, there were circumstances that I wanna keep and sharing about my sleep paralysis would mean I lost and would have to stop what I was doing. It was a combination of pride and embarrassment. When I think about it now, it doesn't make me proud, but still I am grateful I overcame it. I promise when it happens again, I will sure ask for professional help. Thank you!
