2023-05-24: sleep paralysis

sleep paralysis again last night. the sensation of someone beside me, choking me. better i guess than the times where it feels like there's a black presence at the end of the room, watching me.

online info says people may experience it once or twice. it's not regular for me, but it's not my second time, either. apparently also linked to ptsd. maybe time to talk to my therapist again. trauma, she told me last time, is stored in the body. manifests in many different ways.
