but it sure gives you a wake up call. my house was ruined in the early hours of this morning by a fire, at the bottom of the stairs in my electric cupboard. when i was alerted there was a fire, i had no idea where it was and when i opened my door all i could see was smoke. i went to go downstairs and the flames were going wild. i had to get my mum and sister into my room and out of my bedroom window. that’s why i chose the room i have, because it’s got a garage right underneath it, should there be a fire. all the neighbours were really helpful as they were out within a matter of minutes too. the majority of the damage is by the smoke, but every room except the kitchen is black. it doesn’t even feel like i could have died, but with everyones quick reactions, that’s what got us all out fast and i’m so lucky to be alive.
How to have a near death experience
How I did it: I was gone. At least two minutes. Dead. Nothing. I was shocked back to life by the emergency room doctors. But I stayed in a coma. Three days passed and everyone thinking permanent brain damage would leave me a vegetable. I was given my last rites and then a funny thing happened. My toes started sensing the tickles they were trying to make me respond to. I woke up screaming and had to be tied down. I had a tube sticking out of my mouth and didn't know why. I was confused and angry and screamed. The reason I was in such dire straits was an attempted suicide attempt. Pills and a bottle of vodka left me unconscious and foaming at the mouth. I don't know why I am still here, but all I know is I felt nothing and saw nothing. I did have vivid dreams early on and couldn't sleep for more than three hours. A dog tearing up half my face or Jesus kissing my cheek and telling me everything will be alright. I love life now and have trouble believing I felt so low and thought life wasn't worth living over a girl.

These things just happen to me, I guess either I’m just clumsy or I have the worst luck ever.
I don’t know if it’s worth it or not, that depends on the person I think. You can either freak the fuck out and become paranoid after it or go the opposite way and learn to live life to the full and all that.
I think it makes you realize the potential of life and some people need that wake up call, but I can definitely tell you that it’s scary as hell.
dont do it please it is nothing spechial you dont remember what happened it is pointless realy i hate not noing what happened lookely the girl i like went home on the bus after i walked her down to the bus stop i dont remember anything besids throwing up so please dont do it

It’s never a good experience when it happens but it does tend to wake you up and remember to actually live your life instead of letting it go by.
not that i think this was a good thing. it isnt. but it really make me put to heart the quote “live everyday as your last” it gives it a new meaning. i was riding my motorcycle to school and was almost broadsided by someone turning left in an intersection with out looking obviously… well i dodged the car and didnt drop the bike .. but it was close enough. you may think i could have probly survived this … but i think not .. it was dump truck and the speed limit was 45… a helmet is mere decoration. i would have been a smear on the road.
well i dont want to go into detail but at the time i was very depressed and nearly drank myself to sleep forever, i then relised i had nothing to be depressed about and im so glad they kept that life monitor going and never gave up hope because now im thankfull for everything, i have the best family and friends and the best boyfriend!
It was not pleasant for me. I couldnt breathe and I was screaming and crying .. .everything was kind of dark and I saw and felt a heavy golden light, shaped kind of like a half circle without the middle part. It was pressing down on me, and I felt I was being judged. It was good in that the experience had inspired me to be (even) more serious about trying to live a perfect life. It felt like I was being obliterated and what it would be like for me to (fully) no longer exist.
I was driving up Pacific Coast Highway near Big Sur when my car lost traction, I spun around then fell over the cliff. I was so relaxed about the whole thing, my brain split into two parts. One was hyper-aware of all the physical details, like I’m upside down, I’m spinning, the car just hit on the left side, etc… The other part was just pontificating, like…hmmm, this is interesting, I am going to be dead in a second, so, this is going to be how it happens. Am I dead yet? I always wondered how I would die, interesting, this is the end of the story.
Luckily, I survived with no damage to my body, except that I bit my tongue and it was bleeding a bit. I like to think that biting my tongue saved me from shattering my teeth, so it’s all good. The people who rescued me were freaking out, they were afraid I was really upset, but I said, you know what, I feel great. I think I should be dead, but I’m not, so that’s a great day!
I really felt peaceful and I’m not afraid of death anymore really. So, although I am not willing to help anyone else accomplish this goal, for me it was a good experience. If it wasn’t for the very high level of risk inherent to the activity, I would recommend everyone drive off a cliff sometime :)
