What is the closest you've ever come to dying?

I'm not totally sure. I used to have something they told me was 'vasovagal syncopy' which is a fancy name for fainting.

In reality, my breathing and heartbeat slowly shut down till it turned off. I remember a few odd occurrences, feeling like i was in space, seeing the 'all' of the universe. I've felt the first signs of rigor morits. I've felt what its like to seemingly take a 'first breath '....fyi - it hurts like all fuckery .

I dunno if i ever reached dead Dead, but i know i lost air and hearbeat more than once for a little bit.

Edit: for me, at the time, it was never traumatic - it always happened when i was relaxing. Its like i just relaxed too much and slowly shut down.
It was the switching back on that was the traumatic part.
