So I’ve been seeing shadow people for the past couple months. It started I would only see them during my sleep paralysis but then I began seeing them when I’d lay awake in bed at night. Everything I’ve looked up about shadow people says they go away when you notice them, however these ones just continue to stand there & stare at me. For months I acknowledged them but didn’t believe they were real, I thought it was all in my head. But recently I was spending the night at my boyfriends house & he nudged me & asked me if it looked like there was people standing in our windows. I had already noticed them but I ignored it like always because I assumed they weren’t real & it was in my head. BUT NOW HE SEES THEM TOO. They just stood in our bedroom windows & watched us. Knowing they’re real, now they scare me much worse. Now that we’ve noticed them, there’s been more. There’s 6 or 7 different shadow people I’ve noticed at his house & he told me he only sees them when I’m there. If I’m not there, they’re not there. I see them everywhere I go, standing in the darkness, watching me. The other night, we were sound asleep in bed & I woke up around 2-3 in the morning & I could see them. They’ve moved, they’ll stand in the kitchen hallway or in our bathroom door way or hide in our closet. Then something terrifying happened, my boyfriend in a dead sleep turned towards me & said “Are you scared now?” I had a panic attack. & When I get upset, they become more noticeable. They move & get closer to us. It’s like they feed off the negative feeling. What do they want? How do I get them to go away? Everything I’ve read said they should go away when you notice them. We noticed them but they don’t go away. They just keep staring, watching, getting closer. They’re far worse at his house & I think it’s because we’re both very emotional people & they thrive off it. It’s bad when I’m alone at my house too but they keep there distance & there’s only two. But at his house they’re getting closer & there’s so many. They follow me & I don’t know why. I need answers. I’m terrified to sleep.

You are hallucinating and your boyfriend is too or is just playing along because he's too afraid to tell you the truth. He is enabling you which is not helpful. Call 9-1-1 or go to a walk in clinic. Medicines you are taking are not mixing or you have a medical problem. Get professional help immediately! There are no shadow people.
Sleep paralysis might be caused by magnesium deficiency. That is quite common among young Americans. Magnesium strengthens muscles, calms nerves, stops cramps, and fights infections. Get epsom salt. It is cheap, five bux for a year's supply. Put a dose in a glass with water to cover and stir until it dissolves. Fill the glass with lemonade and drink it. You can take it without the lemonade but you won't like the taste. Milk of magnesia is more expensive but nicer tasting and gentler laxative action. Your choice.
The first line of defense against depression and anxiety is B vitamins. Get nutritional yeast powder and/or B-100 pills. Vitamin B2 is a water soluble dye that turns urine bright yellow. When the color fades, it's time for another dose. Read some books about nutrition so you know how to eat right.
From the spiritual aspect, spirits and visions are powered by fear. That's why you didn't see much until you admitted they were there. In any case, they have no power over you beyond what you will allow, so don't allow them anything and eventually they will go away.
