Has anyone here ever clinically died?

[TheUncommon]

I know this question gets asked from time to time. But there's always new responses with new people each time it's asked.

I've almost died plenty of times. I had a stroke last month during an attempt and lost the ability to read and otherwise interpret visuals for half of a day. I could think clearly and knew I fucked up and was coming to terms that this was my new reality after understanding the "before" and "now" were two entirely different versions of me. I recovered after a day though.

I was also in a coma as a 17 year old after a bad car crash. Had complete amnesia for half of a month. I count both as suicide attempts despite me not having any memory of the events leading up to the car accident itself. I was a pedestrian.

Anyone here have any stories about what could or should have been their final moments? Especially how you felt after you were revived?

I technically have but it was on purpose. I had a rare heart condition and my heart was literally beating out my chest one day after a track meet, I told my mom it was normal for me but she didn't think it was. Turns out she was right lol. I went to the emergency room, they rushed me back immediately and hooked me up to the crash cart, and I swear all the doctors and nurses in the whole hospital came running to the room. I was 17 at the time. They had to stop my heart in order to reset it or whatever, so my heart stopped for a minute. I wish I never went to the emergency room that night. Maybe it would have just killed me eventually

I hung myself and was unconscious and not breathing for some time, I'm not sure how long or even if that would be considered clinically dead. Afterwards, i had pins and needles everywhere, was freezing and disoriented.

How did you recover?

That sounds scary. Wanna tell us what method you attempted?
