Should I be upset how he responded to my night terror or sleep paralysis? Also if you’ve dealt with this, what should I try to do next time?

I just woke up, it’s 3AM. And I couldn’t move my body. It felt like an eternity grabbing my partners arm and tapping/shaking it for help from what I can assume was an episode? It was really intense Situation. Looked at my reflection in the dream and saw my eyes halfway closed and looking white. I found myself getting out of it by almost digging my nail in his arm and grunting “help” as much as I could. I managed to finally wake myself, and free from my legs being bound. I woke up my boyfriend to ask if he heard me, and why couldn’t he have helped me? I was loud enough to get our toddler’s attention sadly. But he responded with “so?” And he went back to sleep without having a conversation about it. Am I overthinking by being upset he responded this way?

No. Even I am struggling to give a shit about what happened to you as it means so little.

People go through that and worse EVERY DAY. You learn to cope with it or get help. Not create drama and demand a pity party from a boyfriend with no experience in dealing with crazies like you.

It was highly dismissive but what u have to understand by this point you are now awake already he was not he would have still been drowsy and why he didn't care to talk speak to him after and tell him about it and fo from there

He was sleeping. Now he’s awake. So tell him how awful you felt. It’s not pleasant when your half awake but with no ability to move your body. It’s quite scary.
Let him know to look out for you when you sleep next. It’s unlink to occur, but you’ll feel better if you feel he’s aware.
