Whats the closest to death you think you have been?

For me it was probably a time when I was in high school when I mixed prescription cough syrup (I had walking pneumonia at the time) with mountain dew and vodka. Not only did I come home to my parents that night (obviously they realized I was fucked up out of my mind) but I then started throwing up stomach acid, while shivering and sweating at the same time. My heart was also beating like crazy and skipping beats.

i was driving to NELSON from VANCOUVER at night. through mountains. pitch black 12 hour drive. left at 7 @ night. got there safely 7am on my buddies couch.
my idea of a good time driving there was an 8 pack of old stock and some weed. i woke up at the wheel in the gravel shoulder twice doing 80k, then i said i better take a break from driving. should have died. cliffs very steep. i was insane. i drove there to do mushrooms with a buddy. we did them that night, and i drove back home the next day.
needless to say , ive changed a lot. im a completely different person. that guy was a fuckin idiot. he almost killed me.
thanks for listening.
I seriously thought that comment would be the end and he said "Yes I will, because your a feeemale, your a feeeemale" I was shaking in my boots, and this girl was as cool calm and collected as you like. crazy night

Another time my friend pushed me and I fell over a tree stump. I tried to keep my balance and by doing so I stumbled onto the road (a small country road) a speeding car came at me, luckily one of my friends was able to push me into the stingy nettles, which grew on the side of the road

Was hit by a bus when I was 12 (21 now so it's all long behind me). Wasn't particularly fun, nearly died quite a few times (The local paper even published a story purely from rumour that I had become a vegetable, igniting my immense dislike for journalists). Apparently the chances of me surviving were about 30-40%, if it was a car I would have almost certainly died. So feel pretty lucky really.

this could be the day
hold my hand
lie beside me
i just need to say
Although It could be argued that it was when I was hit by a car travelling at about 50mph, although I was so drunk at the time I just rolled/bounced over the top of it.
I also almost had a heart attack while watching the 2006 AFC Championship game.
Could not have said it better myself. I have danced with death more than once. I am pretty damn blessed if there is such a thing.
wow, that gave me chills.
Wasted out of our minds me and my friend apparently had to pee. Or, I don't know. Can't remember much other than that I'm standing in this really steep and long hill that leeds down to the river trying to pee. Then I remember slipping, falling down and crashing into a tree. If the tree hadn't stopped me I would've fallen down in the river and probably drowned. I have no idea how I got up again.
I've never felt closer to death than the day after though. Haven't had vodka since.
i begin walking back toward them, letting the wave crash on my legs....next thing i know a wave hits me and well it felt like the water grabbed my legs and pulled me into the water....if you've been caught in a riptide you know that feeling....i had never experienced it
so now i'm being pulled out and under to sea....i can see my dad and bro and there just standing there...thinking i'm swimming....so i begin the swim....i've never swam so hard in my life yet the tide keep pulling me so i was really just swimming in place....eventually my dad starts to walk toward me...that's when i started yelling 'help'....so i'm swimming but it's still pulling me...couple times i go under....my dad is now running at this point but i'm getting tired....there was point where i didn't think he was gonna make it....the tide was just too strong.....so i gave it one last push and swam as hard as i could and finally got out of the riptide....just as my dad got there
parents....teach your children to swim as early as possible
I did with the NFC Championship last season

Last year, had taken some painkillers and sedatives and drank a bottle of whiskey - - not trying to harm myself intentionally. I guess I was having a bad week.. I don't really remember much, a week lost in time. I guess I had opened up quite a bit to my friends, and bled my soul to them, since after that I've had several moments of ""how the fuck do you know that""... damn. I could have died doing something stupid, everyone says I had acted like a freak the whole week. If only I could remember it myself...
I guess I could have killed myself when I was really depressed, but never did that, music saved me (= pj).
Oh the memories, the memories.. I'm glad I'm still alive.
Won't let the darkness swallow me.
No light, no nothing though. I didn't even know until the doctor told me afterwards
Sounds like you were jipped!
I learned to swim from my 4 year old who became a star competitive swimmer. I must say she is very good.
Peace

At the tender age of 12-13, I was sitting at home, by myself. Shitty parents had to, "work"...anyways, I decided, orange. I want a fucking orange. I will eat that damn orange and I will do it well!
That's what I did, got up, got an orange, sat back down. Everything is cool.
I begin pealing it. Everything is as usual. I take the first few bites of the juicy, orangey colored fruit. That's when it strikes!
It begins with a simple lodging of white pith in my throat, soon it becomes gasps for air and a fight for my survival. It is truly a terrifying scene. I began contemplating my existence and my choice of fruits I chose to eat while walking the Earth, what sort of impact it all had. Finally! Seconds later, I cough it up slightly and spit it out into the trash. Phewww...
I've flatlined as well, for about a minute or so. I was only six months old, so I don't remember. I had an asthma attack and was BLUE by the time my mom got me to Children's. I was touch and go for a while. Not enough meds and I couldn't breathe, too many meds and I my heart rate would skyrocket.
My husband has flatlined as well. It's one of those cute things we have in common. :rolleyes:
He remembers his. He was 13, in school and had a sudden heart attack due to an irregular beat. He says he remembers everything the docs were saying and he had a view of it all from above.

Not really... I have a 'shunt' which maintains a proper flow of cerebrospinal fluid around the body and also maintains a normal pressure in my brain. One morning just over two years ago my shunt blocked, failed, malfunctioned, which meant that I temporarily lost the power of coherent speech, suffered migrains like sledgehammers to the forehead and then slipped into a coma. Needless to say, they had to rush me to hospital and replace my shunt that night or I could've died.
For the next two weeks I was in hospital slowly regaining normal brain functioning. I tripped like I was having kegs of LSD every day, suffered temporary amnesia, and didn't know or recognise anyone, not even my wife of the time, until my new shunt started working right.
