robots broke through my car window and reached for my staring wheel while saying, ‘‘You’re experiencing a car accident.’’
I responded, ‘‘Hell No’’.

I almost drowned twice in my grandparents swimming pool around 4 to 5 years old, almost choked to death (on chicken nonetheless), barely left this area of my town after my aunt and I had a really bad feeling and read the newspaper later about how there was a shooting there by a guy who was sick in the head (he was tired of “watching all the girls pick the d**chebags and assh*les over me (him)” even though he never made the effort to talk to a girl. There was also a time where my brothers and I went back home after playing in the neighborhood playground at the projects when a guy was getting chased by other gang members and shots were fired.
When I was in my 20’s I was suffering from Appendicitis but I didn’t know it, I thought that I had a stomach virus.
After about a couple of weeks my Appendix burst.
I was rushed over to the Hospital and underwent Emergency Surgery.
The Surgeons told me that I was minutes away from dying.
Yeah Scary stuff.

I overdosed in a big way when i was seriously ill many years ago. I guess that might have killed me but I called the hospital and they gave me the stuff that makes you vomit.
When I was 7, a car hit me.
In March 1990 I was in a plane crash in Michigan.

Do you mean the time I was driving through Royal Gorge, when a 18 wheeler came around the curve straddling the center line. With a rock wall to my right with a drop off to the creek on the other side. I had no where to go. I saw death that day. I hit my brakes as hard as I could. The truck got back over to where it belonged. The front driver side corner of are vehicles must have miss by less than a foot.
Or the time I came around a wet curve and slid into the other lane, to smack into a 18 wheeler. I saw death that day too. But I walk away from it.
This past summer Yosemite and I were swimming down river. When we got into some fast current flowing past a snag. I went to make sure Yosemite was ok, he was. But I got caught in the current and pulled under. As I was struggling to get back to the surface. I was thinking so this is what it feels like to drown.
I think death is always waiting for us around the corner. Are job is to go the other way.

Once when I was 15- a car drove just 2 mm by me so freakin fast - I was almost dead.
Another time I was in a mall and my heart just stopped - I didn’t know what it was - I was 12.
A car ran over my foot at high speed once. Could have died.

When I was about six I was in the car, Mum had run back into the house to grab something and I let the handbrake go and the car rolled down the hill and towards a big empty space with a big drop (not a cliff but a very steep hill). A Neighbour ran out and stopped the car.
And a couple of years ago Mr Turtle and I were having a few drinks after dinner. He made me laugh so hard, a part of dinner came up and lodged in my throat and I choked. I remember hearing him panicking saying he should call an ambulance and I was thinking (because I couldn’t talk, I was choking) don’t bother, I’ll be dead by the time they get here.
I fell into the Great South Bay off of Long Island, NY when I was 12 years old. I didn’t know how to swim, very traumatic, but my father saved my life.
My father died 28 years ago, but I’m forever grateful to him.

when I was younger (12-14) i was in the car with my dad and we were driving 30 mph down a road to our house. there was a logging truck in front of us and one of the logs came loose. we swerved just in time to avoid it, we landed in a ditch. the truck didn’t even notice and kept driving.
when we got home we looked and there was a scratch on the window where the log touched it. my dad and my sister would have died immediately, as they were in the direct path of the log. i myself was in the passenger seat and probably would have survived with ptsd or something.
when i was 16 (a year ago), right before i was put on meds, i was constantly experiencing fugue-like moments where i was completely irrational and not in control of my thoughts or actions. one day i was laying on the bathroom floor spacing out when i must have decided to go outside. i live in an apartment that sits on a big drop to a street below, maybe 40-50 feet. i went to the balcony and climbed over the railing. i was standing on barely inches of floor, my feet could barely fit when facing sideways. i let go of the railing and paced back and forth staring at the ground. i had no idea what i was thinking, i wasn’t suicidal but i must have been feeling fearless or something. eventually i climbed back over the railing and wandered the neighborhood barefoot talking to myself for maybe an hour. i met with a psychiatrist the next day.
They say that an Amantadine overdose will kill you.
That was my most recent "exit strategy"
What did you think of that stuff btw? Was it helpful for anything?
I accidentally overdosed on heroin when I was 19.
I was alone in a locked appartment with loud music on. The neighbors called the police who came by and left when they couldn’t get in. All the while I was dying on the couch. Finally my friends came home and when they couldn’t open the door. They got the neighbor to pull his truck around, put a ladder on the back up to the second story where he broke the window and saved my life. 3 years later I had my first psychotic break. I used to be grateful to them for saving me but now I’m actually unhappy that they did.
Amantadine is used for EPS. Didn’t help my akathisia.

I got car-jacked a long time ago. It was a little frightening. I don’t really know how close I came to being hurt or killed. I was stuck in the back seat with my dealer who had been in prison for assault and other crimes and he also ran the streets and did other nefarious things. I was kind of thinking how to escape or over-power the driver and I glanced over at my dealer and he looked frightened out of his mind. I had known him for about 5 or 6 months and I had never seen him scared before. It made me fear for my life.

I forgot about the time I was 13 at a mall, my family and me always separated only to meet back hours later when time to leave.
I’d been noticing this man followed behind me, into ever store I went, upstairs,downstairs, different stores- everywhere.
This lasted a couple of hours, and I thought I had lost him so I walked out into the mall from one store, and there he was sitting on the bench waiting for me.
He got up, approached me, started sweet talking me, then asked if I wanted to go outside to his van and get high…?
I had this feeling like nothing I’d ever known before wash over me, and it wasn’t because he talked about getting high.
I felt like death had gotten a hold of me, and wouldn’t let go.
I thought about his offer then said pretty loud “No thanks, I don’t do drugs"
He immediately looked around at the people now listening, and said " oh Shhhh, Shhhhh…how uncool, how uncool” and backed off and ran.
This man I found out much later on, was The notorious “Hillside Strangler” responsible for the kidnapping, rape and torture of 10 (at least) victims in a 4 month span.
Woa, that’s really scary…thank god nothing happened to you…
You mean I’m alive?

I’ve been held at gunpoint and just told the guy to shoot. I was fed up with living like I was during a summer job in Florida. the guy put the gun down and I immediately moved into another trailer. we had been room mates.
I got ran over by a car one time without any choice of seeing an x ray about it and I thought I was going to die the pain was so bad…ran over my right calf. awful bruising.
I was almost killed a couple of times in the oil field.
