I listened to the recordings and I cried a little bit but it didn't seem to affect me much otherwise. Maybe there's something wrong with me.
When the sounds come back to you after many years it will confirm you're normal.
Nahhh it’s incredibly sad, but I did not find it to be particularly bad compared to a couple others that come to mind.
growing up with the birth of the internet sure was different
though ukraine sure has resulted in a recent glut of messed up stuff
I sincerely wish this was the case, I'm jealous, I have been trapped in a thought loop for at least 2 hours now about consciousness and existence and the incomprehensibility of what happens after one dies. I tried to go to bed early but I just kept panicking about the idea of my heart stopping in my sleep. I don't know what's happening but I shouldn't have listened to that audio
Ahhh, yes. I've been through all that thinking years ago. It's a lot to think about for sure.
Death is a rough thing to contemplate. I always zone out for a minute when I hear about someone dying, especially if it was untimely, avoidable, or otherwise tragic.
The history of human thought is full of ways to try to rationalize it or cope with it or even pretend it isn't final. They all seem to carry hints of at least one stage of grief. Contemplating death is like grieving your own mortality in advance, because you know you won't be able to do so after.
To me the most helpful thing (not helpful particularly, but more helpful than the rest) is to let it move you to appreciate life that much more while you still can. Maybe even that's tinged with "Acceptance," but ultimately that's the best possible outcome of grief. There's no better option.
This might not be helpful, but then again nothing is. It's all I can say on the topic though.
After many years I finally believe reincarnation is the most likely scenario after death, and it has pretty much eliminated my fear of death. Now I just don't want it to be horribly unpleasant. In the words of Woody Allen (I know, an unmentionable name, oh well), "I'm not afraid of dying, I just don't want to be there when it happens."
oh hey so it's not just me who bluescreens at the mere thought of death
Can I help you with anything regarding this, being a person which had exactly that happen?
can I ask what happened?
Sure, I wouldn't have offered it otherwise. Early in the morning my heart stopped, I was lucky and got immediate support, was resuscitated. That's the very short version of it.
Still, I don't have any, fear regarding this, so I thought I might be of help.
I'm glad there was someone to help you
Thank you.
This whole thing was a cascade of very unlikely events. I'm close to survivors guilt with how it all went but luckily not there, too.
ugh same, i got a slightly elevated heart rate for a minute or two but other than that nothing. like, intellectually i know it's a terrifying situation and i should feel empathic, but it just doesn't happen
