Have you ever almost died?

Question

I think I did, on a hike once. But a tree was blocking what was at the bottom, so it hard to tell whether it was deep or not. From what I was able to see, it was really far down. I never trust edges of a high place.

I can't tell. I always wonder how close I got or if dying is gonna hurt even more than that. The worst case for me involved fractured arms and fingers, ribs, lost teeth, multiple concussions, and fractured femur all at once. But I didn't die -- I didn't even lose consciousness entirely I was just sorta out of it.

Actually the most pain for me was in the arms and hands -- since I was trying to defend with those until they broke. After they broke I couldn't feel much everywhere else. And I thought I was gonna die but I didn't even pass out.

I fell on my front teeth once. And threw up everywhere for no reason.

I got lots of bangs and bruises being old and all. But I don't know if it is the damage to my body that made me think I was close to death in that one incident above. It's because it became clear to me that the people inflicting the damage on me had no intention to stop until I was dead. It is a different feeling -- even from the worst -- like they stop attacking when you're down... to people who truly don't care if you are, and will keep beating on you even when your fingers are bent backward and your arms are broken and there's nothing left to block with.

Can a low come up in your crib?

That experience might have fucked up my brain. It's more up and down since. Like I used to never get road rage driving before that, or get impatient waiting in long lines. I used to have great patience. Then something about that experience and after months of waiting in the hospital made me so irritable and cranky in ways I didn't even recognize as being "me". It's like it split my brain in two parts. And I did some terrible things immediately after I got out of hospital, like strangling random guy in bar for no good reason. I had these violent and angry streaks I didn't recognize. And I even punched a girl -- by accident -- but swung and connected. I quit drinking for half a year after. Now I sort of got it under control but I never felt quite right after that incident. I don't use it as an excuse for bad behavior but it's really like I sit down in my room sometimes and I can't even recognize my own thoughts as my own.

If you can get mental help for that if things seem fucked up in the brain, I'd put effort into seeking that. I tried but in Japan, they just give me these pills that mess up my ability to work. They don't take psychotherapeutic techniques so seriously -- so I just try to fix it on my own.
