Discussion How does death feel? Any of you almost succeed?

Did you almost got there? How did it feel?

Last time I almost died I was forced out of it cus I got this unnerving thought that I had something left to do here, someone to meet, it was weird and I wasn't a fan of it back then, waking up after the attempt I felt empty and confused cus I thought I'd already met everyone I had to meet since I was happily w my ex, but life finds a way to throw curveballs at you I suppose
As for the feeling of being dead, it was like I fell asleep and floated in the world without understanding what was going on fully

Well you might be young, I am happy you didn't.

I've gotten close. And in all honesty it felt purely peaceful and I didn't feel any fear or negative emotions.

i've shared my story on here before. My death experience wasn't related to suicide. I got sepsis freshman year of highschool. i was found unresponsive by my parents on my basement floor. i remember just laying down on the floor and feeling no fear, no pain, no regret, just relief and comfort that my pain would be over. I had no SI to call out for help, try and reach for my phone, etc. I had been in physical agony for days at that point and once i felt the urge to lay down i knew it was kinda over lol.
Parents found me, took me to the hospital and everybody there started freaking out. i had iv's in both arms giving me huge bags of fluids. staff later told my parents my body was in the process of shutting down, i had about 30 minutes left from when they found me to be saved.
It was crazy. you think about dying and you think of pain, fear and suffering. i felt nothing but relief. think of that state youre in right before you fall asleep. thats the feeling.

Feels like nothing. If it happens suddenly. Like going under anesthesia.

I wasn't consciously near the point of death at which I blacked out during a sincere but ill-informed PSH attempt, but aside from a mild visual anomaly featuring a shadowy mist darting past my vision, the process felt fairly peaceful. Waking up quickly upon failure due to the haphazard rigging of my makeshift "noose" was entirely unpleasant, however.
