I've had a shitty upbringing and not a fun life since then, and while I've known for years about exactly what my sleep paralysis I was and never have been able to delve into it.

That said I currently have been dealing with depression, anxiety, ADHD, a hint of bipolar, but thankfully not terribleness I've dealt with my ex's of the full blown type; I say that with the utmost sympathy, a history of being abused, beaten, and refusing to leave an ex who hit me cause she loved me. And the mother, father, and sister who all beat the shit out of me cause I was there, I gotta say, no, lucid dreams are not the answer.

Therapy, counseling, and medication are the way out. If you need help, I'll listen, I'll even research the shit for you to get you on your way. Community based, family based if they're not awful, help is there. We can find it together.

That said, no, lucid dreaming is not the answer for anything but to have an additional source for entertainment. I've done LSD with specific objectives, and it got me the obvious big shit answers, but you know what those were? A doctor, a psych consult, and the wish I had the money for either or both.

Lucid dreaming will not in any way help you get past these necessary things. I promise you. It's a false easy hope, when you should be saving up for the necessary needs. Which are, the doctor to refer you and the psych to prescribe you.

The best money I ever had spent on me was for the doctor and the shrink. Acid basically yelled this at me. Years after, experiencing this terrible yelled this at me. There is no instant fix. There is no easy answer. You must first want to affect a change. You have to try. It's hard I know, I'm still in the process of responding to a referral because phone calls scare me for some dumb reason.

Lucid dreaming will help, but in no way will cure. If you PM me I'll do whatever I can to direct you.

No one can love you like you should, but probably don't.

Please seek help.

I'm trying. Let's try together.
