'Sleep paralysis is a condition in which someone, about to drop off to sleep, or just upon awaking from sleep realizes that s/he is unable to move, or speak, or cry out. This may last a few seconds or several moments. People frequently report feeling a ' presence ' that is often described as malevolent, threatening, or evil. An intense sense of dread and terror is very common. The presence is likely to be vaguely felt or sensed just out of sight but thought to be watching or monitoring, often with intense interest, sometimes standing by, or sitting on the bed. On some occasions, the presence may attack, strangling and exerting crushing pressure on the chest. Many perceptions are associated with SP, such as visual illusions, visceral buzzing, loud sounds, adrenal mental state and presences.'

just the feeling of not being able to wake up, more or even scream scares the hell out of me.

I've experienced sleep paralysis several times over the past few years, more particularly when I was exhausted and fell asleep on my back. I have learned to avoid sleeping on my back altogether, but there are the rare occasions that I end up doing it... Well if I find myself paralysed I try to move but there's no use in panicking too much. I know that I will not be able to get up for a while. You are slowly able to move yourself a bit more until your body is working right again. It's not that something is weighing on you, it's more like your body is still asleep and it's heavy as lead so you can't move it. It's just that you really cannot move, the most you can do is twitch your fingers and slightly raise your head. I don't know about inability to speak, because I never tried to speak or cry out while paralysed
Just...don't sleep on your backs when you're freaking tired guys!!
