Ok true story,

I was in the bathroom taking a crap and it was so wide I couldn't get it out, I literally thought I was going to die sitting there trying to take a crap. I was sweating and pushing, it was rough.

It's nothing compared to others but it is my closest I guess.

To go the same way as the King... Elvis.

My closest was nearly falling off a 300ft cliff but being saved by a guy in the tour party.



Tease.

LOL let me guess you ate too much cheese or maybe chocolate.



My hemoglobin count was 10% of normal, platelet count at 5% of normal and my white count was 16x higher than normal.
The situation was bad enough to result in a "near death experience". Three months after I was admitted, one of the nurses told me that they didn't give me more than two months to live.

Well, once I was walking on the sidewalk section of a bridge with my girlfriend about two years ago, and a drunk driver all of a sudden starting swerving and I saw him coming towards us. I knew something bad was gonna happen so I pushed her out of the way and indeed he did hit the sidewalk and me. I fell off the bridge and grabbed on to the gate before I the chance to fall but my hand was shredded and my knee was broken so I was having a rough time hanging on. Luckily enough a guy pulled over and helped me up and off to the hospital I went.

Scariest shit that ever happened to me, and it was a 150 ft. drop to the middle of the kansas river with a broken knee if I had let go.

Really irresponsible story here

My dad took us to the lake for jetskiing and he was towing my sister via rope with an innertube. Me and my brother were at the shore but I was a bit further out, and had on a life preserver not that I needed one b/c I'm a strong swimmer but the sheriff required them. Anyway my dad starts towing my sister more closely to us on the shore and is obviously doing some hotdogging or stunting I guess trying to throw her off so that he can get somebody else for a ride.

He came pretty close to me and then turned toward me and while still carrying the innertube, the innertube or worse the rope was obviously going to collide and adding to the immediate issue was that I had on a life preserver which kept me up in the danger zone. I just reacted immediately on instinct and spread my arms out forcing me down, timing the innertube coming in so that my head would be underwater right as the rope/innertube passed over me.

I was able to get down enough even with the life vest so it just whisked over my head, I remember feeling it come over that but luckily it didnt hit me in the neck or give me a direct blow to knock me out. That rope could have collapsed my windpipe and would have dragged my by the neck. If the innertube got me it would have collided with me but I would probably be ok. But, nothing got me and to this day I dont thank god, but just myself and promptly called my dad a dumbfukk

wow that's really abstract



Haha, I have no idea, it was a memorable experience though



I had epilepsy when I was younger and I experienced it for about 3 years. At night just as I was about to drift off to sleep it would hit me. Epilepsy basically caused my brain to shut everything down. I would stop breathing, I couldn't talk, it was extremely difficult for me to move, and it felt like my whole body was in pain because it was doing something un natural. I can remember struggling just to roll a couple of inches off of my bed so I could hit the floor and hoping my parents or brothers would hear the noise and come help me.

It never lasted more than a few minutes but it seemed like an eternity when I was experiencing it. Afterward it was like everything would come back to me in parts. I would stumble around for a little until I regained my ability to walk. I would stare in the mirror and for a few minutes I couldn't formulate a single sentence in my brain so I didn't know anything not my name, where I was, or that what I was looking into was called a mirror. Speech was always the last thing to return to me. It was frustrating to be able to say the words correctly in my mind and then when I spoke out loud it came out as something incomprehensible.

I definitely don't miss those days and it's been years since I experienced it thank goodness. I've heard that people who experience epilepsy when they are younger generally have it come back stronger and worse when they are older and they usually don't survive the second time around. I hope I am one of the lucky people who only experience it during childhood.

LOL yeah I experienced something similar to that too.  Only as I was pushing it felt like it was cutting me coming down. There was so much blood on my tissue as I wiped it kinda freaked me out.
