When was the first time you thought you were going to die??

9 Years ago I was with 4 of my friends in a jeep wrangler and we were hit head on by a drunk driver. I wasn't driving and as we started up a hill and got to the top there he was in our lane. We hit head on and then another drunk driver hit from behind. I just now settled on that case 9 years later. Looking at the pictures that were given to me by the State Highway Patrol we are all very lucky to be alive. I don't know how we all made it. My bf at the time was almost completely scalped and his thumb was hangin on by a piece of skin. His thumb was able to be saved and he now has some permanent memory loss. I had a broken ankle that requierd surgery and I had to have a screw put in. The screw later started to come out so I had to go back in to have that removed. I have a messed up back that will cause me problems the rest of my life along with arthritis in my ankle that will only get worse with age. So drunk drivers it can happen at any time. It was 3:00 am and u know everyone was drunk. Opened my eyes!

When i was about 7-8

i was playing in the street and went to get the ball

as i tried to pick it up a car came out an hit me....was tavellling around 70 km an hour

my friends said i went up like 10 feet in the air

after that i everything was blank

all i could hear was my mothers cries

i was unconcious for a while

i woke up in my living room which was crowded by all the neighbours

i woke up and got up and walked without a scratch

i believe it was a miracle if not somthing special as i thought i had died.

This is a kinda different answer to everyones - a lil sarcasm intended :o) I honestly thought I was going to die giving birth to my son...the world was spinning I had never experienced such a high pain extent or been so scared in my life...much worse than I ever anticipated...the closest thing to a near death experience I have had...

Hussain - thats Insh'allah habib Alhumdillah you were alright

The first time I thought I was going to die was when I was about 9, when I had my first asthma (sorry bout spelling) attack. I was so scared, I was telling my mum not to throw away any of my toys when I was dead.
I was also very dellusional.

That's my boring story, lol.

thankyou eirisa i still remember that day as if it was yesterday.

I was 7 playing on the outskirts of a castle near us when a big wave came over the side from the sea and missed us by about a yard xx

I got into a serious four wheeler accident about three years ago. I ended up getting a concussion and busted my knee open. I remember waking up under the four wheeler, stuck inbetween the rock wall and the four wheeler with this gooey looking stuff coming out of my leg mingling with the blood. I was almost sure that I was going to be dead, but someone found me before that could happen.

ahhh hunbun you brought tears to my eyes then - my son died too and i found that my arms ached for so long that I went to the doctors and she told me it was because I longed to hold him again. My heart goes out to you honey xx

June 1977, I was passenger in a
Fiat convertible, we were driving thru
Valley of Fire about 40 miles outside
Las Vegas. Sun in our eyes going up hill
moving way to fast the road leveled out
and turned to the left real sharp. The cars
front end went airborne and when it came
down with the wheels turned the car rolled
over. leaven me in the middle of the road
with a ruptured spleen and a hole in my side.
I must say it was a strange feeling looking
out the side window and then like I blinked
my eyes slow and when I opened them,
I was laying on my back looking at a blue sky.
Thinking were is the car?
Why am I not in the car?
Hearing My friend Jerry (the driver)
screaming my name and help.
I tried to get up but couldn’t . My back
hurt so bad just moving my head up.
I said, “I can’t move Jerry” and then I passed
out. I woke up being moved by two men
it was night now and I was so very cold thinking
its summer, and passed out again. Hearing a
soft voice I woke up covered in blankets
with a woman looking at me saying stay
awake for me now. what’s your name?
But blacked out. the next time a opened
my eyes, I was in a bed with a nurse who saw
that I had woke up turned and left the room.
Returning back with a doctor who looked
Like a hippy long hair and all, asked if I knew
my name. I said yeah, were is jerry is he ok?
Doctor said, good you know what happened,
and know who you are. Jerry is just down the hall and
is going to be ok.

Jerry got trapped under the car and couldn’t
get out. he had a lot of skin rubbed off his
forehead and shoulder and got
burns from hot oil dripping down.
God and luck was with us. Two families
out together came up on us and the moms
were nurses “yes” they had two way
radios and got an ambulance out to us
saving our lives.
I lost my spleen and six inches of
intestines. My spleen was not cut open
and not bleeding but was filling up like
a balloon, kept me alive long enough to
get to the hospital. Jerry got lots of skin
graphs and looks ok, I got a scar that looks
like a bullet hole in my side. We are both fine
and thank God, we made it.

So, young and having fun
Don’t Drive Drunk
and/or
Don’t Drive Fast
A Lesson From My Past

although the second time was this morning after a few too many beers last night and my head ................ ouch ouch ouch!

Rachel I hope u feel better hang overs suck!

My hangover lasted far too long again but I find if I pop a little vodka on my cornflakes then it's all good again - lol. What do you mean I have a problem (nervous twitching)........

I'm sorry to hear that, lass. :(
I'm hoping that when you say attempted it means she survived.

As to an answer to the question, the first time I thought I would die I was about 10. The next time was when I was about 15 when I went out on a cliff face to help my friends back off of it... not bright in anyone's book.

Of course, I never figured I'd live to 21, let alone 34!

a couple years back, I almost died falling down a mountain! And when I was 11 I almost broke my back doing a round-off backhandspring layout full (gymnastics).

2 christmas vacations ago, I went to Cabo Verde and I was in the ocean with my dad and then suddenly we were like 50 feet of shore and we couldnt swim back becuase the current was so strong and we both thought we were going to die.

when i was on me own holding a knife thinking what if............
no way.

i was'nt cut out to be suicidal

.....im bored

The first time i thought i was going to die was when i thought my god i going to die

The first time I thought I was going to die was when i was about 7 and my mom was driving in the free way and I was in the backseat. All of a sudden the car started sliding and next thing I know the car is only on two wheels and we were about to crash into the wall. Then I felt my older sisters hands cover my eyes and I felt her kiss my forhead. I was so scared I was convinced I was gonna die. I remember my eyes were closed about 10 min and when I opened them the car was stoped and thank goodness everything was okay. My dad had managed to get the car to stop before it hit the wall. Everyone was silent but that only lasted for about a couple of minutes. For the rest of the ride home it was non stop screaming. I dont think i ever recovered.

the moment after I read this stupid post...thank you

2 months ago when i tried to commit suicide.
~Freak~

Well I nearly died on Thursday :| I almost got run voer, but my friend panicked and grabbed my hand and ran. If she didn't do that I wouldn't have noticed the car. And probably died.

I didn't think I was going to die, I knew. When I was 18 I was trying to get out of an abusive relationship. The last straw was when he stayed up for 3 days straight doing any drug he could get his hands on. He broke into my neighbors house with a box cutter so the police took him to have his stomach pumped. His mom called me and told me he escaped from the hospital and was pissed at me so I was packing (we lived together) when he found me. He went and got a butcher knife. We struggled, I will never forget how strong he was, then he knocked me down and sat on my chest with his knees on my shoulders, I couldn't move. he had the knife to my throat and had started to cut, I have a little scar, when his friend came in and found us. He saved my life.

I was thrown against the wall of my bunkbed and I was getting slapped and hit on the face and arms so many times I thought all my bones were broken... I thought I was going to die cuz every time I'd tell her to stop she wouldnt,and I got hurt so bad... I fell asleep to some music by simple plan..that darn radio was playing all thru the abuse :(

a couple months ago when i took a shit load of pills and passed out.

When i got into the drivers ed car for the first time with this kid who couldnt drive lol
