have you ever almost died?

Question

I felt really down one day and i took lots of sleeping tabs.. i felt like i was floating above my bed.. i woke up about 18 hours later...so scared.

Answer 1

Listen, we ALL have down days, but a couple of months (sometimes even just a few hours) later and things have changed.
I know of two people who have died and returned. They both said something similar to "the only soloro" experience, that an angel, or a spirit told them or pushed them back to their bodies.
Everyone is here for a purpose, there are no coincidences. You would not have returned if you weren't meant for something. So leave that up to God, and go live your life.

Answer 2

Sorry to hear you felt bad enough to do that, I've been in excruciating physical agony for most of my life, morphine doesn't even touch the pain, so i've felt suicidal many times, not because I want to die, but because NO ONE can help me get rid of the pain!!!! after 25 years of searching! I'd never actually top myself though, I've survived this long, I guess I'll keep going until I lose my mind, end up in a straight jacket and won't even be allowed any painkillers and then it'll be too late to top myself unless i eat the padded walls of my cell or something! mmmmm......
I died when I was 21, with a heart attack (part of my illness) I was clinically dead for 30 seconds, went through the tunnel, met my grandad who'd been dead for 7 years at the time, there was someone else standing behind him but I never got to see who it was.
My grandad reached a hand out to me, I held his hand and was engulfed in a blue white light, I woke up a second later.
I don't really mind if the tunnel and my grandad were real or a chemical reaction in the brain happening as I died but it doesn't matter too much as I now have no fear of death which is always a bonus :-)

Answer 3

You were hallucinating. It happens whe you overdose on narcotics. Try some zoloft or something man, things cant be that bad. Remember, there is ALWAYS someone worse off than you. Cheer up!

I had an out of body experience one time just like yours only it wasnt intentional. I took to many valiums and drank too much Jack Daniels and I thought I was gonna die. My heart was beatin funny and I layed down and It was like I just floated up above the bed and was looking down. Im sure it was just a mind trip but it was frickin scarry when I finnaly awoke

Answer 4

Yes, I have had a near death experience (NDE), but in my case, I actually did die for 62 seconds on the operating room table. In the interest of brevity, I'll be as brief as I can be.

I was about to undergo my second surgery in my life. I was absolutely terrified. Few people ever have to face their worst fears, but mine was of being out under. I had been fasting since midnight and was very hungry, my blood sugar levels were going down so I was panicky as well. And I was in a great deal of pain. I remember the anesthesiologist coming into the room, pulling a syringe out of his pocket, and saying before I could protest further, "It's show time!" I remember screaming, "Oh my GOD!" three times before the anesthetic started to take effect. My next memory was of everything going dark around me, but the darkness was strangely comfortable and I was aware that I had stopped breathing. Then I was aware that my heart had stopped beating. I realized at this point that I was dead and yet, I was unafraid. I also realized that I was in a place without dimension.

I looked beyond my space and saw an angel, or creature of light, start to come toward me or I was starting to come toward him (it). As the darkness had no dimension, I was unsure. The colors surrounding this angel, for lack of a better word, were incredibly beautiful and were unlike anything that I have ever seen before or since. I explicitly remember feeling a feeling of euphoria sorrounding me and communicating with the angel and the angel communicating with me beyond the spoken word. I did not feel hunger, or thirst, or pain. My contentment was complete. The last thing I remember saying was, "LORD if this is death, then please take me," at which time I woke up with the knowledge that 62 seconds had gone by and without a sense of disorientation which I had never experienced before or since.

Years later after eight more surgeries, I called a department of anesthesiology in Eau Claire, Wisconsin and relayed my experience asking if I could have been the survivor of an accidental overdose. No way, I was told. Had an overdose occured, I would not have woken up with such a sense of clarity from surgery. In the words of the anesthesiologist, it sounds like first my breathing was affected by a paralytic agent, but then my heart accidently stopped and I was quickly revived. Either way, my life has been affected and for the better.

Answer 5

I was down with an heart attack and once my heart had almost stopped. But I did not have an NDE though I had read a lot about it though. Still I have faith in God and that all things work for the good. May be I had suppressed some of the memories as we do in a bad dream, I don't know. But almost all people who come out of the experience have a better understanding of life and are no more afraid of death. God bless.

Answer 6

Oh yea, i have almost died twice. The first time happened at work when i fell and broke my neck and back and suffered a spinal cord injury. I actually had an out of body experience. So anyone that doesn't believe in God or souls they are foolish. The second time happened because i became addicted to pain killers they were prescribing me and i accidentally overdosed , I didn't have an out of body experience that time but it was damn scary. Going through those experience's have given me faith in God and I know now that there is an afterlife.

Answer 7

You know what? I thought that you had almost died because you'd been involved in an accident or something similar. But no, you did the most selfish thing you could have ever done by trying to commit suicide. Have you any idea of the pain and suffering you would have caused to your family and friends? What you have to worry about is if you have suffered liver, brain or kidney damage from such a stupid act. Time will tell. We all have down days and I have really bad ones but we get through. Go out with your friends and get a life. There are people dying out there who'd swap with you anytime.

Answer 8

One day I was at my grandmother's house, sitting in the swing and my brother was playing with his bow and arrows. He got the bright idea to shoot an arrow straight up towards the sky. It went completely out of sight. I got this weird feeling while this was happening. I decided to get out of the swing a go stand under a tree. As soon as I got up and walked away from the swing the arrow came down and stuck all the way through the swing exactly where I had been sitting. What if I had not gotten up??? That gives me chills to this day. Freaky!!!!!

Answer 9

Yeah but I was like 4 in a pool. My dad's company was ahving a crawfish boil at his bosses house and all the empoyees with their families was invited. I got in the pool on an inflatable gator adn it overturned. I just kind of hung on and then sunk to the bottom of the pool. I got up and thried walking to the steps of the pool (the water was way over my head). I must have passes out because the next moment I was being given CPR lol
My mom taught me how to swim after that. . .

Answer 10

I had my drink spiked once at a party when I was 18, I apparently stopped breathing and the paramedics brought me back round. I don't remember much of that night but my mum said she felt me in the night, woke up and saw me lying next to her saying I was sorry, that's how she knew what had happened. I don't remember much but I do remember the paramedics bringing me home and my mum putting me into bed. Bit creepy I think.
