Half of the time I look forward to my death, it doesn’t scare me since I don’t see the real point of my life, what scares me is if my agony would be slow and painful.

But then what? I just stop existing and it’s like I fell asleep? Do I see light? Darkness? Nothing? What is nothing?

    Nothing. Was in the hospital for a heart attack last year, my heart stopped for 8 seconds. I was 100% completely unaware. Was told later what had happened.

      Over 4 minutes for me. Can confirm, no concept of time. I slowly became aware of a noise that turned out to be my own breath from chest compressions. Then I became present again.

        Some days are more challenging than others, I spent the last two weeks with the flu and WANTED to die. ;)

          If you don’t remember then how can you tell?

          Sometimes you remember dreaming, sometimes you half-remember dreaming, sometimes you remember nothing.

          I’m assuming that the unremembered part is full of dreams too.

            Yes, assuming, because you never got an EEG that measured which parts of your brain were active while you slept. Which, wait… Scientists have actually done! Wow, surprise 😐. Who could’ve known it.

            Fucking dumbass.

            E: Hey that’s new, getting downvoted for correcting unscientific wishful thinking magical xmas-land-mumbo-jumbo. Enjoy your minerals and tarot cards, you litany of buffoons 🙄…
