I ran out of chocolate…I went to the shop. It was close, for a good 5 minutes there was almost panicking and a feeling of faintness

@SW-User I know we are on the same page there. I bought this belgian chocolate last night from amazon fresh and after that personally went online to write a review about how good it was 🤣

Meningitis. Had to beg my now ex to take me to the hospital and by the time I convinced him of how sick I was I couldn’t walk and he had to call an ambulance. Spent the next 24 hours in isolation with fever and hallucinations despite the ER doc putting me on antibiotics immediately. I would’ve died if I had gotten there any later than I did.

@summersong wow that exactly happened to one of my friends, we were living in a big house many friends and he was known as kind of a trickster person, and he started shaking and act abnormal, and people were laughing and I with a leap of faith said fuck it if I'm gonna be the stupid then it's ok but this guy is going and I called a taxi and took him to hospital in 5 minutes.. shit I saved his life!!

Drowned when I was 18.
Was unconscious at the bottom of a swimming pool for near 20 minutes.
Was yanked out and was given CPR for over 30 minutes. Was eventually revived but was in ICU for two weeks to extract water off lungs…

Londonn · 36-40, M

@SW-User wow man 20 fukcing minutes!! did you see the light and a tunnel? did you watch Flatliners?

SW-User

@Londonn i did see a tunnel but don’t recall much detail

My heart stopped when I was 21, and has never beat on its own since that day.

@Londonn What?

Londonn · 36-40, M

@SW-User I thought you fall in love, you were using metaphors I thought

SW-User

@Londonn No, my heart literally stopped. I have a pacemaker. I fell in my home and was in and out of consciousness for a while, and they told me I should be dead.

A man raised a shotgun at me and fired point blank from 7' away. I was able to dive behind a tree which took the damage.

Londonn · 36-40, M

@bowman81 very impressive reflexes!

bowman81 · M

@Londonn Not really, if they would have been better I would have seen it coming sooner and avoided the whole mess.

I got pneumonia few years ago and had to stay to the hospital for a week. I turned blue from the lack of oxygen and had these weird hallucinations like matrix, i was seeing green letters and lines crossing all over the walls and two moving spirals wherever my eyes was laying on any object or surface. I survived obviously

Londonn · 36-40, M

@elafina wow! you are the one!

dimfok · 22-25, M

@elafina Good job on surviving ;) pneumonia can be nasty (as you already know :P )

meJess · F

As opposed to telling about when you died?

Londonn · 36-40, M

@meJess you got me there

SW-User

It wasn't too bad. I'm Christian. There was no great white light, there were no angels coming to take me to the other side.
Just panic.
"I can't die, I'm not ready"
"I'm not ready.
Please be real.
don't let me die.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
Help me"

House fire. Someone finally threw me out a window because I just stood there in shock. I have a scar on my arm as a reminder that fire hurts!

Lived at Imperial Beach, Ca., years ago.

Went swimming in the ocean and almost drowned and was rescued by my friend.

I'd be dead if it wasn't for her.

When I had a atroke....

Dude!

P.s.a. keep that blood pressure checked!

Londonn · 36-40, M

@PhaqueYou shit.. was it a life long problem or it was a quick and sudden?

PhaqueYou · M

@Londonn life long, genetic & hard to control.

I have malignant hypertension.

Real big pain in the glutinous.

They caught me at 290/225

By that time they had a name for it & even a cocktail of meds.

This time the system works & I take my meds religiously.
