What is the closest to death you ever been? Tell me.

>>36998531
Actually dying, was dead for close to 3 mins.

Lost lots of blood from wild dog attack.

Trying to hang myself with my shoelaces in a crisis unit. Shit snapped just as I was losing conciousness.

I don't think I could've died but there was one time where it sure felt like I was dying.

Was fine afterward but I've always had an irrational fear of any sort of gymnastics since then

3 and a half bottles of vodka or almost bleeding out in a back alley. Both were close to death.

overdosed on heroin and woke up in the back of an ambulance not knowing what happened

>>36998531
Broke up a fight with two dogs and both of my legs were extremely bloody

>>36998831
Side note, I'm very cautious about everything and pre-plan what I do before I do anything so I've never really got that injured.

When I was a kid my appendix ruptured, we lived in the absolute middle of nowhere and the only doctor for miles told my parents it was just a stomach ache I was overreacting too. They didn't take me to the hospital until the next day when I literally couldn't walk anymore. My appendix had been busted for a while by that point and once they got the tatters of it out I spent a week with a tube sticking out of my side draining shit out of me.

>>36998531
Woke up in my shed covered with dish soap and vomit with a shittily made slip knot after blacking out on vodka and 3meopcp

I was wearing my seatbelt, and damn those things are amazing. No whiplash or anything, no injuries at all really. Had I not been wearing it I would have been pretty dead.

There is so much more shit I want to say, but anyone who has done large amounts of psychedelics can understand that you just can't describe so many things that happen on your trip.
I can now get triggered into panic attacks if I see something that deja vu's my badtrip

that's why you do acid in a safe place like your home, not with a bunch of normies you twat.

>>36999097
>not learning to swim after drowning the first time

>>36999033
>>36999072
If this is what acid is like, then it sounds like the kind of hallucinations I have once I hit the ~36 hours awake mark, just more of it.

>>36999097
You are actually in purgatory. Looks like they've upgraded the internet connection.

>>36999072
>>36999033
If you took LSD and not something else then you were no where near real death, bud
Just very very high + extreme panic

>>36999147
Yeah I've learnt my lesson since then. I've done acid again since then, but always make sure I know my dosage / have a tripsitter / have a safe space

>>36999176
Yeah, but it definitely felt like I was close to death / actually dead

>>36998877
Doesn't matter how big the dog is, 3 Rottweilers should've been more than enough for it. They have the strongest bite of any dog and are extremely muscular. Highly doubt that Akita managed that unless it also got fucked up in the process.

>Spooky path

The river goes somewhere. You either would have hit land and been able to get out and walk, or would have rejoined the main river.

My memories are blurred but I recall it was a rather comfy feeling.

I used to like goinv hammocking by myself alot because it is relaxing. The best views are from high up in trees, plus its kinda exciting being up high so I often climbed trees and hammocked pretty high up. One time one of the branches I was strapped to snapped and I tumbled down a pretty big distance. I hit my head and was knocked unconscious when I hit the ground. Since the place I was at was on a slope I slid down the slope as well and at the bottom of the hill was a river. My unconscious body was like 2 feet away from sliding into said river. I didnt even go back for the hammock and have never been hammocking since.

Nearly choked to death on a hamburger at a Wendys. Had to give myself the Heimlich and my mom yelled at me for spitting my food out on the table.

Reacted negatively to anesthetic going into emergency appendectomy surgery. Turns out I was allergic to whatever the hell they used.

Bitten by a bat that tested positive for rabies. $13,000 in rabies shots later I'm still here.

How'd the Narcan feel? A lot of medical personell end up punched when the patient feels the sudden pain of Narcan.

I hope you sued him to hell and back for malpractice.

>>36999176

Ego death is a thing, friend. Sure, it's not like actually dying but it can still fuck you up if you're not prepared for it.

>>37001320

Never done heroin or been given Narcan but yeah I hear it hurts like absolute hell. Like someone injecting fire directly into your veins.

He ended up killing himself in 2011 because of muh work problems

> WTF.jpg

> dont really realize what was happening
> mfw it just seem like a dream when it happened

Since that i can t go on the subway with the feeling that someone will fall (poeple i am with and i have to stand at least 5 meters away from the railwway for me to feel safe)

The cat passed out 6 month ago, at 20 or 21 i dont even remember.

I took 8,000 acetaminophen in attempt to get the oxycodone contained in the medicine. I have been awake for a week straight on crystal meth. I got beaten by a group of niggers at a house party. I woke up next to a hooker in the ghetto without a phone, car and no recollection of anything and she asked if I wanted any heroine. I once made my mama mad. I drunk drove 120mph to get some pussy. I didn't drink or eat a single thing for three days. I passed out in subzero weather in the snow.

I almost choked to death on a Jolly Rancher,it would have been a fitting end for me.

Once as a kid I stuck a pipe cleaner into an electrical outlet. I got a shock but I pulled it out right away.

My own brother tried to kill me. He forced me to act in self defense and kill him. To this day I regret that it wasn't me that died

8 day coma from multiple organ failure

8 day coma caused by multiple organ failure.

It sucked pretty bad. I completely lost the ability to walk and a good deal of my ability to speak for months. I still can't move quickly and sometimes have memory and speech problems.

Being actually autistic made the recovery process very challenging.

I was actually pretty ready to just let it happen

I had the flu when I was 15. My parents didn't believe me until I was curled up on the floor shivering with a fever of 104. I went to the doctor the next morning but I was pretty much bedridden for the next three days.

As a kid, almost got impaled by a spiked fence in my stomach after being chasing a cat.

Also, I put my first car upside down in a tree, got away without a scratch but if I hadn't been wearing a seat belt I would have been very, very dead.

Once I was back I read about hypothermia and realized just how close I came. When you stop shivering and your mind goes numb, you're usually at the point of no return if you don't have somebody to help you out.

>>37001290
Well rabies isn't so dangerous if you get the shots during the 3 month incubation period. After that incubation period, the fatality rate is near 100% with only a few recorded survivors in history. It actually has the highest mortality rate of any disease I think.
