What you’re experiencing is called "sleep paralysis" which is an actual sleep disorder. This started happening to me when I was about 9. I thought it only happened to me, till I happened to come across something about sleep disorders on the Internet. I read stories of other people’s experiences and found out it’s pretty common. It can be caused by stress, sleep pattern disturbances, and other things. I know it’s scary, but you’re not alone! Google ‘sleep paralysis" to find out more.

No, it is not for mild depression only and ignore those sayings. In fact, it does help anxiety and panic-attacks as St John’s Wort works like prozac. Other natural ways will be exercise, diet, more exposure to light, etc.
The problem is that, even if your Serotonin is balanced… you have that "learned behavior" in your mind. You need to break that initial cycle to destroy that learned behavior – Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) does this. A technique that you can use without CBT will be Distraction… There are several other techniques to help cope them!

Criticizing is easy, art is difficult. Swimming with electric blankets pretty dangerous.
