Anybody out there who has died?

>>17992186

Do mindfulness meditation for the "die" problem (it's not a problem is just you need rest)
And actually meditate on the nature of death, it will help you with other areas of your life.
Just imagine what is to be dead for you and try not to tink in words about it but to feel it.

I did when I was sixteen and there was just black I didn't see a light or anything. But when I did I lost almost all my memories so maybe I did see something and can't remember lol. No one really knows for sure we just have to wait and see

>>17992192
Idk how to meditate on something I have no clue about desu, I'm not exactly the spiritual type. Either we're all just bio-computers and there's just nothing after death (this actually terrifies the fuck out of me) or there's some afterlife that I couldn't even start to take reasonable guesses as to the nature of it. Guess I could imagine the Christian heaven/hell (guess that's still the general idea I have in my head since I was raised southern Baptist) but idk, was just interested in other people's input I guess.

>>17992196
Shit... Hoping you just forgot whatever

>>17992200
Not sure if a shitpost (seeing as anything Christian is typically joked about on 4chan) but I was raised Baptist (like I said to the first anon) and I've since taken a step back from religion considering it was one of the primary motivators driving me to go the way of Kurt Cobain... Not saying it's wrong, but it's hard for me to say it's 100% right when so many things in the Bible seem so wrong.

>>17992206
*sigh* please ignore the auto filter. I keep forgetting about that

I died once.The only notable experience was that my teeth felt crazy. Like if your teeth were made of television static. And that kinda spread throughout all my bones. And then I guess brain function stopped. And then suddenly I was in the hospital. I woke up violently for no real reason giggling hysterically and immediately accused the nearest nurse of stealing my cocaine and demanded jello. Which I guess was horrifying because my eyes were a different color from when I was brought in, and also was not expected to live. Didn't see anything I remember while dead. But did get jello pretty much instantly.

1And again Jesus spoke to them in parables, saying, 2“The kingdom of heaven may be compared to a king who gave a wedding feast for his son, 3and sent his servantsa to call those who were invited to the wedding feast, but they would not come. 4Again he sent other servants, saying, ‘Tell those who are invited, “See, I have prepared my dinner, my oxen and my fat calves have been slaughtered, and everything is ready. Come to the wedding feast.”’ 5But they paid no attention and went off, one to his farm, another to his business, 6while the rest seized his servants, treated them shamefully, and killed them. 7The king was angry, and he sent his troops and destroyed those murderers and burned their city. 8Then he said to his servants, ‘The wedding feast is ready, but those invited were not worthy. 9Go therefore to the main roads and invite to the wedding feast as many as you find.’ 10And those servants went out into the roads and gathered all whom they found, both bad and good. So the wedding hall was filled with guests.

11“But when the king came in to look at the guests, he saw there a man who had no wedding garment. 12And he said to him, ‘Friend, how did you get in here without a wedding garment?’ And he was speechless. 13Then the king said to the attendants, ‘Bind him hand and foot and cast him into the outer darkness. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’ 14For many are called, but few are chosen.”

Kek, how scared did the nurse look? Also, how did your eyes change color? Was it permanent?

(Oh, and another tally to the terrifying thought of there being nothing after death)

Yeah, I'm the shit poster? Go fuck yourself, asshole. The Bible is literally subhuman trash. God isn't real, and after you die all that happens is the electrical signals in your brain quit firing and you shit yourself. What a fucking lame thread, just asking for Jesus shitposters.

>>17992212

I picked a simple, idiotic image I thought someone who believes in God and Jesus might be able to understand in relation to my post. Here's something better for your advanced mind, however.

>>17992223
Your point is what? Space is big?

>>17992214
It just happens due to lack of oxygen in the brain. I have neat slate gray and copper eyes now though. And the nurse was fucking horrified. I had been electrocuted and also slightly blown up. So I still had chunks of computer and wall stuck in me when I jumped out of bed. And also hadn't been breathing for most of the abmulance ride over. So having some dead guy shoot up and accuse you of stealing his drugs must have been something. Also considering I had pretty much no reaction to the pain. I honestly don'y know why I reacted so strangely. I do think I got back up just because I was tired of being dead.

I've died once, and come near-death a few times. It was okay.

The dying part was weird because I remember making the decision to go, and then I was this really dark, inky place that felt huge. It felt like complete peace and ease. I remember feeling like I was lying down in some kind of perfectly comfortable bed with lots of others around– kind of like being in a stack/slot of a warehouse.

Time was funny, too. Could have been seconds, minutes, hours, or days. After a while it felt like someone was summoning me, and I went. They/it asked if I wanted to move on and leave things the way I had left them or to move on. I saw/experienced a fast-replay of my life, with the shittier parts standing out more, and I decided to go back.

I came to in a hospital bed screaming "Not like this!" over and over. It was a mixed feeling between total-body agony and fuzziness as though my whole body was waking up from pins and needles.

Doctors/nurses said I should've died or been in a coma, but I just woke up and left the ER.

Fun times.

>>17992186
yeah i died last night

shit sucks lmao

>>17992218
K then

>I do think I got back up just because I was tired of being dead.
I like you lol
>>17992230
Hm. Strange... Not sure what to say but thank you for sharing.

>>17992243
Well then I think we'd get along well. Funny story involving near death and drugs just cuz. I got stabbed a few times by a gangbanger and left dead on the floor while the rest of the guys got rounded up into a room and the house got looted. I pissed myself and was covered in my own blood. Like none of it was in me. This was also our dealer's house by the way. We just happened to have bad timing while buying grass that day. Anyways, after something like 8 minutes, I got back up and immediately found and snorted a fat ass rail of blow. I then casually exploded into the room they were in and beat a guy with a part of door. I managed to de-gun the other one too. All the while screaming the lyrics to Men At Work's "Down Under." After guy 3 gave up the fight, I just handed the gun to one of my buddies and said "I don't want this man. What the fuck." And then I collapsed onto the floor and pissed myself again. Death is for pussies.

>>17992274
Lol I know this is 4chan but God I hope this is a true story, do you have a Skype? (Understandable if you don't wanna post)

>>17992230
Hey, if you're still watching the thread. Did this experience have any effect on your life? Like, do you look at life differently than you did before? Spiritually mainly but any other ways too

>>17992315
Skype is bobcat-cactus. I fear nothing. You can actually attribute like 60% of my behavior to drug usage. The other arbitrary 40% is just because I'm mental. Cocaine is a hella drug.

>>17992322
Sent the request

Shameless self bump, swear I won't do it again, just really wanna hear some more stories if anybody else is there

>>17992223
Why the square? Radio signals would be travelling in all directions, and the shape would be roughly spherical.

>>17992186
I died briefly after a bone graft in 2009. I was over-anesthetized, and had to be given Narcan to be brought back.
But no scary stories, just the fact that the Narcan block all anesthesizing agents in my body, so I felt the effects of a six and a half hour surgery for about two hours.
But my life's went to shit since then.
Who knows?
Maybe I am in Hell.

Swallowed enough trazadone to kill a horse. Complete bliss and peace. Like the other anon said, black and vast. Sort of like being deep in the ocean. Woke up with full body pain sort of like when your leg falls asleep. Also my dick still works, which is a miracle because apparently your dingus typically gives up when you take that much trazadone.

Eyes went from baby blue to dark green. I also now have a different outlook on life understandably.

>>17993897
And on a slightly related note, before that ide dodged death a good 6 or 7 times very narrowly avoiding situations or objects that should have killed me. But since having actually died I haven't had a single close call that I didn't avoid due to my own actions.

Extremely similar story here, OP... I wasn't suicidal, but I nearly died. I mean, I basically wanted to die, but what happened wasn't intentional, nor would I ever try any of that.

My feelings have been an urge toward complete non-existence. As in, I don't WANT to die; I need to not experience sensory stimuli of any kind, let alone be conscious, or to have ever been so.

I wish, more than anything, that there was a way to describe this, because it's not a feeling. Not an urge, either. That's a feeling. Like you're being drawn toward a void, but it's not a supernatural kind.

"Dead inside" is really god damn ridiculous way to put it because people that experience that sensation clearly still have very powerful emotion...

>>17992218
*tips fedora*

>>17993884
Well, I'm getting your posts so you're apparently still alive lol, sorry to hear that things have gotten worse for you
>>17993897
I wonder if at that point if it's hour brain shutting down or what. Guess if there is an afterlife they'd make sure you're staying dead before you see it, idk.
>>17993931
Well. I don't like the idea of there being absolutely nothing after death. I'm just tired of living...

>>17992218
I hate summer

>>17992322
I like your style. I was 3 days into a vegas bender and at least a half ounce soloed when I shut off in a plate of prime rib n mashed potatoes. Very surreal. Everything hot slowly dark and quiet. Couldn't talk. Heard girls screaming as it faded to black. Buddy pulled me up and slapped me so hard on my chest I think he restarted it. I don't remember it. I came to with 2 of them holding me up and running out of the casino since they said they called the cops and an ambulance. We all had shit on us and weren't about to catch a case.

>>17993931
Are you me?

>>17995276
Didn't realize that this was common, care to elaborate on your particular case?

>>17995284
I just get this feeling like I'm hollow sometimes & I need to transcend my body and escape a "trap" - the trap being my physical body

I'm not spiritual at all really so I dunno how to describe why I feel this way

Sometimes I zone out and if I focus hard enough I can feel like my energy firing through all my nerves trying to escape, it's odd

>>17995345
Yeah... Sounds pretty odd, can't say I feel that exact way but still, thank you for sharing anon

>>17992315
>this is 4chan
I won't argue with you there. I can't!

>>17996523
Well, if nothing else thank you for the bump

>>17992186

I've died three times. once during the accident and twice on the table at the hospital. shitty 4 wheeler accident. I didn't remember anything from when I was "gone". Completely nothing. But each time I woke up, it was like I never left. not like sleeping, but my mind was blanked from where I was and I was resuming the same minute that I died. it was interesting. I wouldn't recommend trying it for any reason.

I can contribute but not from personal experience. My aunt died when she was younger but shes told me the stories many times.

>Be her, 16 about 40 years ago
>In field outside house with my grandpa, her dad
>Grandpa stumbles on underground bee hive
>fuk bees. They swarm
>Aunt jumps ontop of my grandpa and cover most of him with her dress
>stung so many times omg
>grandpa is okay, only stung a few times
>Aunt goes to hospital going into some kind of shock I guess, can't remember all the way
>dies in hospital room for about 10 minutes I think.

>"I saw shadowy shapes, very blurry. It was very hard to focus but I tried my best and I figured out I was in my own hospital room looking down at my body. I don't know what I was, I felt like I had hands but I didn't have hands. I saw the nurses swarming around my body. I didn't see the defibrillator but as things got brighter I felt less like I was actually real and before I really understood, I was awake again in the bed."

I think about this a lot when I get afraid of the nothingness concept. Hope it helps OP. My aunt embellishes sometimes but she doesn't outright lie. She experienced something.

>>17996653
Thank you for sharing anon... That really does help some

I died once.

Can't give you the details.

Death is nothing, not even darkness, you aren't aware of anything, you aren't even aware of when it started.

The best way to describe it is a dreamless sleep that never ends. You fall into it like how you fall asleep, you can't remember exactly when or how, but then there was nothing.

All these people who say they have had experience in the after life are either lying or have not really died, death is lack of experience, nothingness.

When I came back I had the vaguest notion that time had passed and a distant yet extreme sense of loss. Like those lost moments of life could never be gotten back.

>>17992218
Without the Lord, you are truly lost, see?

I do believe in an afterlife. I've never died, but no one can tell you anything important about death, everyone who 'came back' didn't really die, you die when you can't be brought back to life anymore (brain stops working).
I recommend you read the bible, or any religious book, religion is a spiritual philosophy, it will help your understanding about what is or what isn't.
The only thing I can tell you from the bottom of my heart, as I truly believe is, don't ever give up on life, consider this your only chance, live your life, do always the best you can, we don't know what's on the other side, I believe there's something, but, what if I'm wrong? I would have wasted my life is I didn't do anything important.
About the afterlife I believe in, sounds crazy and dumb, but hey, it's what I've built over these years. I believe in a spiritual afterlife, for me, a body is just a carcass in which our soul resides. Our soul controls everything, our soul is us, our body isn't what we are, is just a physical representation. We come to this world to master our soul, and we truly leave once we are done. Sometimes I think it's ridiculous and I just a creation of the human ego, you know, that thing we have that makes us believe we are truly unique and stuff, but the hell I know. Also, my last tip, talk with a philosophy professor (who has bast knowledge of the Asian philosophy, Asian philosophy dumps the ego and focus on the things we do know) or a teologist. They can turn out to be helpful. Cheers, hope you have a great day/night.

I almost died in a car accident a few years back. I had a somewhat strange experience. I blacked out after we hit the tree, or rather, it was another color that my vision faded to. It was a tannish, reddish gray. That was all I could see in all directions, and I was only vaguely aware of existing and being somewhat confused. The first thing I saw when I came back to myself was how badly my thumb was broken, and I started answering paramedics' questions on autopilot.

Sorry it's not a very interesting tale, but it's what happened to me. Just color and a vague sensation of confusion and some sort of awareness.

After trying salvia and remembering a car wreck I woke up having a very surreal afternoon.

>>17992230
I had the exact same thing happen, except I was in a bright place.

>>17992218
You just went from 0 to Summer in 1.6 seconds.

>>17992186
I tried to kill myself too took 120 barbiturates, a lot for someone weighing 44kg. barbies go by body weight.
they Saud (I read my chart) I had had a gcs 5 and under.
and I had been "re-bagged", I said ,what the fuck is that, and they said, resussed,you had to be worked on, with defibrillators and hemodiaylsis, and in the darkness,I felt something there.
not a spooky darkness,but so peaceful and calm,velvety.
then there was a presence there, not good,bad,not anything.then I was back,saw myself for a millisec, and was back in my body.woke up days later in icu.

there's more but I'm already ranting on so I'll shut up.

sorry to hear that you've been feeling so awful anon, sounds like you've been going through a kak time.
don't seclude yourself, try, if you can, to be around others.

>>17994878
We might get along well. Drugs can do that to you. Never been to Vegas. Pretty sure I'd do WAAAAAAAAY too many drugs and get a few stds.

>>17992186
I drowned at the beach when I was a kid. I had to be brought back with CPR.

Drowning was terrible. Not being able to breath, sucking in cold water which burned my lungs like nothing else. After that it was like falling asleep. Everything just kind of blacked out.

I don't remember being dead at all. I guess that's what its like. Just nothing.

Coming back was amazing though. The relief I felt when I opened my eyes and saw the life-guards kneeling over me was incredible. Then I coughed up seawater for approximately 1000000 hours, which was less than pleasant.

So TL;DR dying is like falling asleep and not dreaming.

>>17997981
No please, go on. Tell me everything, I want to hear it.
