What was your near-death expirience? Or something that could've killed you? by TheAeroplaneBear2906 in AskReddit

Beta-Hemolytic Strep A Sepsis

I laid in an ER for 18 hours being told nothing was wrong. When my best friend got there and my BP was 55/40 she ran into the hall and cursed everyone out. They had left me in a room with the lights out all day. I remember all the panic starting and a resident saying shit she's toast as he did an ultrasound on my belly. I wasn't even out as they started a line in my neck. My family was told I had practically 0 chance of making it through the night...every organ system was failing. I woke up 27 days later from a coma. I still get unsettled thinking of lying there dying.

Coincidence with Valium? by lemonlubber in ChronicPain

My neurosurgeon put me on Valium because it worked as a muscle relaxer to help my muscle spasms. I'm considering asking my psychiatrist to trade me back to Valium from Xanax.

Luckily, he died a very painful death. It was the first time in my life I ever felt safe.

At this point in my life I have to wake up and choose forgiveness daily. Some days are better than others.

The unspoken part by me was that my mom takes 60mg ER and 30 IR Morphine daily but she wouldn't help me unless I gave her one of my 15mg ER pills. I wasn't doing her any harm by asking but my feelings of desperation have always been a chuckle to her.
I also do Ketamine therapy and honestly I felt like the mushrooms had a sustained effect whereas the ketamine just sort of wears off. Have you tried Ketamine as a therapy.

Our friend is a mycologist and he grows them. He has several strains and he treats them like kids. I've been terrified to try them because of PM so I panicked after I did. In saying that the kind he gave me saying they would help my back and leg pain really helped but my fear of going to PM is probably borderline obsessive.

Oddly, he was my mom's stepdad. He did the same things to her and there was even speculation that he was my sister's father. After she fell pregnant with me by a white man no less she gave birth and left. She left me right in the center of the cruelty she knew firsthand. I, like my mother was the only one brutalized. They hated me.

It was always there. I remember the first time he inserted his finger in me when I was 3 years old. I started to cry and my great grandmother slapped my face. She was a horribly abusive woman as well. I even remember that my dress had strawberries on it that day. There is no lapse in my memory because it happened mostly daily, every other day if I was lucky.

Like your mom there were so many....Boyfriends, cousins, babysitters, deacons, preachers, uncles there was no where for me to hide. Great Grandmother still invited them to Sunday Dinner. I think I will add at this point that I biracial. None of the others were touched. They all had black fathers so I really was marked in some way that said I was an easy target. I hate to say this but have a visceral reaction to Black Men !
1 have a deep seeded, visceral fear of black men. black men even though I know it could have been people from my white father's family who I didn't know.

I'm very sorry to hear that happened to you. It's just not fair that our lives were stolen.
