So user, how many times have you almost bit the bullet? Somehow I've tallied up to 3 stand out ones I remember, and who knows how many attempts from my neighbors to kill me as a kid.

OP here, I told one of mine yesterday on another thread, but here's one of mine.
>Be me years ago
>Probably 8 or 9
>On summer vacation, staying at Kalahari
>Everybody in my family gets their bathing suits on and split up in the water park area
>After going down a lot of tube slides and tiring myself out, get in the lazy river
>lazy river is getting absolutely packed, full of tubes and old/fat people
>end up getting swept under by part of the current in a bend (I've always been scrawny, but i was an especially scrawny kid)
>end up unable to emerge from the water
>open eyes, hurts but i can see
>Struggling my hardest to find a gap between tubes or an empty one, or get anyone's attention
>can't for the life of me, even try butting my head against somebody
>starting to slow down and pass out
>at the very last moment find an empty tube and barely emerge.
Now that I think of it, what is it with me and drowning?
Lucas Brooks
I fell from the 8th floor once
Ayden Thompson
Were the injuries from the fall very severe?
Isaac Martin
not much, just a broken arm. Now I have a titanium plate inside my arm
Benjamin Sanchez
I overdosed on medical grade morphine, I was literally dying and I would have died if my roommate didn't find me. Worst thing is I knew I was dying but I was so fucked up I didn't even care
Liam Morgan
today i almost got hit by a car that was running about 100km/h
Levi Myers
Those are close brushes with death, not near death experiences.

Oliver Martin
Nearly jumped off a cliff. I wanted to fly or something like that, can't really remember, nearly did it then realized what I was going to do, ran away from the cliff scared to shit and now I have a phobia of cliffs.
Aaron Bennett
i wish i could have a near death experience just so i can see for myself what the other side is like, i have to see to believe
why would you post that pic, now "he" is going to come and ruin the thread
Chase Cooper
do DMT that's basically the same thing. everything you've ever known about anything including yourself will be stripped from you
Chase Walker
It's called road, it's called a rainbow road.
Jason Adams
3 times for me too.
>Tried to run across the street as a little kid and would've gotten destroyed by a car if my uncle didn't grab me. Grandma literally had a heart attack watching and had to go to hospital, so i guess i also gave her a NDE
>Second Time was when i declined to go with my mom to the store to get dog food. Got t boned to holy fuck at an intersection on the way back. Passenger side was hit, i would've died. Does that count?
>Third time i had a really bad asthma attack and my inhaler wasn't working. Actually thought i was gonna die in the car as my friend drove me to the hospital.
Carson James
>be 7
>one morning before school, taking breakfast as usual
>mom try to strangle me as soon as she see me (she had shizophrenia)
>dad intervenes
>she kills herself some hours later
Parker Bell
>i have to see to believe
Why can't you trust the testimony of millions of other people? Millions people testify that depression feels bad. I believe them. I do the same with NDEs.
>do DMT that's basically the same thing
No it's not: digital.library.unt.edu

DMT is the closest you will get to a near death experience without actually having a near death experience. It literally feels like you die. Coming back from that trip is life changing
Chase Anderson
>DMT is the closest you will get to a near death experience without actually having a near death experience.
I agree. But that doesn't make them, as argued, "basically the same thing."
Granted, DMT >>>>>> life. But at the same time, NDE >>>>>> DMT.
The fact that both experiences are ineffable and connects with an external reality does not mean they are on the same phenomenological level. Here's a tip: Talk to someone who has a deep NDE and also ingested a strong dose of DMT, and ask them to compare the two experiences.

because depression can be proven to exist on a molecular level and can be studied and observed in the real world by others
i just cant trust others without seeing it myself, of course im still always reading comforting stories on nderf and wishing something other than nothing or hell comes after death
Joseph Miller
>because depression can be proven to exist on a molecular level and can be studied and observed in the real world by others
Yes but then you are trusting the scientists as well, which are just a few more people in the equation. All of science is, ultimately, a system of testimonies - we have to trust the scientists. How is that fundamentally different from trusting in NDErs? There are many skeptics and smart people in the cohort of NDErs as well. What reason do we have for thinking that they are all lying?
Elijah Fisher
I'd be so fucking mad if my gfs friend got me killed out of sheer stupidity.
I hope you sued her.
