I mean…
I know that before my psychosis I took 33-200 times bigger dose of amphetamine than a normal, recreational dose. I didn’t knew that.
I am super lucky I am alive, studying and becoming a normal person.
One person told me - you know you should be glad you still are walking and talking.
Honestly, it took me YEARS to finally know the real dose my brother gave me. But now I know the answer.
I am super duper lucky. Thanks to ANGELS? Or whatever.
The thing I am currently on antipsychotic is better than stroke or heart attack or coma.

I think, as you inferred, we are all lucky. We all have something to be grateful for.

Truth. All of us are differently lucky. And overall different in all the ways.
That’s what makes life and existence beautiful;)

I am also lucky. When undiagnosed and unmedicated, I came close to committing suicide a couple of times, but something pulled me back.
Then, after diagnosis, I thought it was an external force controlling me, and I took an overdose of medications in order to kill myself. I took a lot of Lamotrogine, couldn’t walk in a straight line after that, and somehow survived.
So, I guess like you I am very fortunate to have survived.

From my honest opinion, there is no such thing as luck. Rather, the statistical probability & odds of a certain outcome or result from past historical data. Take your amphetamine overdose as an example, most likely your age & early treatment saved your life. Young people have a much better metabolism & immune system than older people. Also, early treatment at a hospital alleviated any permanent damage as emergency doctors have treated patients who have overdosed in the past. Past experience and understanding of the situation leads to knowledge for future reference. Glad to read that your recovery from the amphetamine overdose is going well.

I am so happy that you are ok from that very dangerous situation. Life can become very competitive. Sometimes the only thing you can say to a person is good luck. So far my faith has never let me down in life. And I believe my faith will always be there for me.

Honestly I investigated my case with chatGPT and google.
Big thanks for that. I am also super duper excited and happy that it ended the way it ended.

Luck doesn’t exist? That’s kind of a broad assumption.

Winning the lottery is definitely luck.

Well, I used to believe in luck during my teenage years and early 20s. However, when I studied “Statistics & Mathematical Probability”, my perspective changed and the topic enlightened me on how I viewed the world. For example, 1:20 or 1 patient case out of 20 cases of amphetamine overdose will lead to death. @anon8411913 was part of the 19:20 who survived than the 1:20 who would have died. Also, the saturation & concentration of the amphetamine in @anon8411913 bloodstream to the brain would be the independent variable that determines her survival percentage… say 80% she survives (arbitrary number).
What do you say about this ?
Or the bot played around with me 
You mention statistical probability and odds, I think when something occurs despite the probability and odds of it not happening than can be characterized as luck. It doesn’t make sense to discount the whole concept
of luck in so many examples. You can argue for there not being such a thing as luck but that’s only an opinion and there are infinite examples of luck as the average person would understand or define it.

Well, I will discount the entire concept of luck. You may believe in luck which is fair. Just a difference of opinion.
Yeah.

Luck is basically a statistical anomaly. Despite the odds you still made it. Now you can take that new opportunity to do something good

I don’t understand. The concept of “luck” has been around for thousands of years, now we’re saying there is no such thing? Statistical anomaly infers that luck can be mathematically calculated, when actually, luck is random, irrational, and unpredictable.
