Does anyone have any NDE stories?

[John Smith]

I like reading about people's near death experiences. An NDE is basically when someone has a life threatening event like a heart attack or suicide attempt and are brain dead and/or the heart has stopped and the person will have an experience, often an out of body one.

Yes when I stopped my heart with a overdose I remember seeing golden light very intense but not hard to look at it was only brief

I don't know I think they are making a second series it would be weird if this was the end...

I've been close to death but saw no bright light or anything. It was just like going to sleep and then I woke up in hospital after emergency surgery. I suspect that a lot of the NDEs reported are the brain hallucinating. A book that was written about a kid going to heaven in the afterlife turned out to be a hoax.

I had a weird something, i had taken a shed load of Pheno & been found 14 odd hrs later. My brain was having a happy hallucination, all nice & trippy then the weirdest thing would happen, somehow i knew i had stopped breathing, everything turned a mellow grey and i had the most wonderful feeling of knowing it was over (this was maybe 8yrs ago but i still remember that sense of relief and peace) Till i started breathing again, this seemed to happen a few times.

What i found out later from a person who had spent every day in icu with me was that by the time they got me to a&e i had stopped breathing & had a GCS 3 (thats bad apparently) so i was bagged then bunged on a ventilator.

I know its not all bright lights/life flashing before me but how could i have known i had stopped breathing or how could i have known to be at such peace with life ending. I could never find the words to describe quite how that felt, but one thing is for sure, ever since i have been desperate to get back to that peace and see it through this time.

This gives me hope that my death won't be painful.

It was beautiful, the sense of being at peace with the whole 'its over no more pain' ahh i wish i could describe it too you properly, it was amazing, sorry.

It sounds pretty amazing

 

[Letmego. Please]

It sounds pretty amazing

It was, it drove me slightly crazy for a while that it had been so close to ending but not quite. It does however comfort and maybe encourage me that i need to get back to that place & see it through.

Are you sure you didn't pass out in front of a mirror

 

[Miss clefable]

Wtf

Don't know if you can consider this an NDE, but I was hit by a car as a pedestrian one time as I was crossing the street. It hit my head first, and then my lower back. I unfortunately survived (obviously) with a mild TBI and a herniated disc. I remember being on the hood of the car and thinking, "I'm done.". Pure acceptance, that's all. No fear, anger, sadness, nothing. And then I hit the ground, still conscious.

God I wish that thing went faster. Then maybe I wouldn't be here.

What did it feel like when your heart stopped?

 

[Miss clefable]

What did it feel like when your heart stopped?

Nothing it was so quick one minute I was there next just out

I had a NDE. It was very surreal. I stepped outside myself. I cataloged everything that was going on with me. The hardness to breath kind teasing which o e was going to be my last, the hallucinations and wondering why the heck I was seeing those. Notating when the police came into my house and when they opened my door. How death was creeping up my body. I was really annoyed that the officer who was trying to rouse me was saying my name absolutely wrong. I couldn't respond. I saw sparks and everything was glitchy. Nothing hurt until the CPR. I laughed in my head at myself for internally saying ow each time they compressed. I said peek a boo when they opened my eye to check dialation. Big spans of blackness. I tried to keep my pup in the forefront of my mind because I wanted him to be the last thing I thought about.

Totally get the spectator explanations when things happen like this. I want that peace back.

It seems wrong of me to like that but at the same time i am glad that you too felt the peace.

Absolutely nothing wrong with it. Better than what it could have been. Best feeling in the world.
