Hey, that’s almost a haiku, cool.

But seriously, I thought I was dead after taking some acid in high school. But here I am, 40 years later living like a king.

I went out for coffee with a friend.
It really helped but as we were coming home, I heard a female voice who said “you should DIE”.
I don’t care about these voices.

No, i dont think so, it was “just” an illusion / dissociation due to to stress. I felt like i didn’t exist, but not dead?
Hope your voices disappear and you feel alive and well soon

There is a condition a symptom, called Cotards syndrome, where you have the illusion of being literally dead.

I thought I was in a spiritual dimension after a med overdose and ending up in hospital.

It took me like a week to get out of that one

@Om_Sadasiva, Only a short time. It happened one evening during a bad snow storm. The power went out, I remember, and I had to stay at a friend’s house. I was lying in my gf’s lap and thinking that I was dead. I told my gf and my friend and they thought that was odd and told me so. I fell asleep that night and in the morning, the feeling was gone.

That is lonelyness talking, i guess. I felt sometime in my life being nonexistent in comparison of the wider universe. But there I found friends in form of voices.

Yeah that once seemed perfectly logical to me too but it was because the World changed a ton in a short time for me. No this is still reality and we both are very much alive.
