why did you do it?

agayman69 · 7 months

Were you pissed when you were resuscitated and realized what happned? Or thankful?

Gyrant · 7 months

Did you notice the actual dead part? The flatline? I guess what I mean is was there any noticeable difference between death and unconsciousness? (I'm presuming that you passed out before being taken to the hospital, if not than I guess this is a moot question)

The_Engineer · 7 months

Do you think there was anything a friend could have done for you to help prevent you from trying in the first place?

Now that you've been dead and are now back, do you regret trying to kill yourself? Have you found meaning in your life?

CandleJaxx · 7 months

I hope you know now that you're a zombie...and as a zombie we need to quarantine you as to stop the infection from spreading.

Ravey_Daveys_Gravy · 7 months

you may be crazy, but from your responses you sound awesome. Go talk to those youths if you can do it, I think it would help. Thanks for the AMA.

BreSput · 7 months

Not to be a dick, but people are always resuscitated on their final attempt. Once you're resuscitated there is no point in doing more attempts.

What was the feeling of accepting that you were going to die? Did you become complacent with death?
What was the feeling of suddenly regaining consciousness and realizing that you were still alive?
How did you attempt your suicide?
What mental illness(es) have you been formally diagnosed with?
What parts of your life did you have to put on hold while you went through this traumatic experience?

FlamminSwine · 7 months

What was the kidnapping like? How did he get you into the trunk? At what point did you realize he had a gun? What happened after he shot himself? (like, Did you call somebody?) what was the last thing he told you before shooting himself?

Where you considering the future or thinking at all about the aftershock of your death were you to succeed with your suicide? I ask because I have intrusive thoughts, and at one point they had convinced me that the fact I was alive was a mistake, and that I was going to be gone soon, as in, I was going to die soon, so I'd be out o the way. I was convinced that if it didn't happen on it's own, then I'd have to do it myself. Because of so, I remember telling my mom and dad nonchalantly what to do with my things "just in i died one day". Did things like this cross your mind before you took the pills, or after, in the time period between taking the pills and them to take effect?

brittab33 · 7 months

Okay guys..I have to get some school work done, so I'll be gone for a few hours. Keep asking questions and I will answer them when I return. promise.

Foolstoe · 7 months

How were you found after you overdosed? Were you thankful to that person or people?

MisterFlibble · 7 months

How would you relate your death to being asleep with no recollection of dream? In other words, when you wake up from sleep, do you sense the time you were asleep better now since you've experienced being dead?

I'm curious because I've had nights where my sleep goes by in a blink, and only the clock has changed. There's usually a subconscious feeling that I was lying there for 8 hours, even though I don't recollect it, but on occasion, it feels as if I just time travel to the next morning. I can't think of a better way to explain it, but if you understand, is that kind of what it was like? Waking up from a sleep?

lopo4 · 7 months

Did the part before dying hurt, I mean did it really hurt when you OD'd?

haydaw · 7 months

I dont know if anyone asked this, but what was the date of your death

Keevtara · 7 months

So, do you like bacon?

brittab33 · 7 months

I'm wondering what the people who have down voted this were expecting..? Or are they all just pissed that I didn't die..? o.O Whatevs.

tacos_and_sombreros · 7 months

undecided_lemon · 7 months

Do you still struggle? My last attempt was 5 years ago and I still struggle a lot.

LeftHandsociety · 7 months

Do brains seem especially tasty to you?

moobeat · 7 months

Are you a pie or cake kind of person?

bethbuckets · 7 months

akhokhar · 7 months

how are you now? do you ever wish you never came back? i hope you're well now and regret it :-(

jekessle · 7 months

What was the response from your friends after the attempt? Do your friends say anything about it now?

smpx · 7 months

What was the next year like? Were you known as "the girl who tried to kill her self?"

rockdevourer · 7 months

If 1 was the absolute lowest point in your life and 10 being the best you've ever been, where would you rate yourself now?

Any feeling of remorse after swallowing the pills and waiting for the slow onset, or were you pretty much content at the time?

How are you/your parents affected by this still today, if at all (obviously you/they were affected at one point, but curious if it has influence in any means to you today)?

The brighter side of things:

Favorite activity to partake in?

Favorite time of the year?

3 places you would like to visit one day?

cclementi6 · 7 months

How come you aren't bitter/angry about it anymore? What mental outlook on life changed that give you a will to live now?

JackReacher002 · 7 months

I don't have any questions that could further this AMA but I feel the need to post that I am glad you are OK and enjoying life again.

crouchyy · 7 months

After you were revived and had visitors, what did you guys talk about? Was there anything that was said that annoyed you? Was there any piece of advice (since your recovery) that has stuck with you ever since that would help others?

Cauterize · 7 months

While I don't have any questions to ask, I just wanted to add something.

My best friend committed suicide last year and no matter how hard life had become for him, no matter how much he thought the world may have hated him or even how worthless he may have felt, I wish he knew that the world would be such a better place if he was still around.

While I appreciate that is most likely a tough concept to understand when you've hit rock bottom, there always is and always will be someone who needs you by their side.

opinionator_3000 · 7 months

How did they find you?

tehhelpdesker · 7 months

Was reading some of the comments, that's a pretty fucked up thing for your "friend" to do. I've read most that want to kill themself, after they attempt to they feel fine again. Do you still feel the urge to since you technically did kill yourself, but came back?

katiefrazer92 · 7 months

Do you resent the fact that you were brought back to life? Did you at the time? And how has your life changed since the event (better, worse, same old)

greywisdom · 7 months

Were you diagnosed with depression? If so, what are the signs? (I'm a little worried for myself)

lifeunistudent · 7 months

i don't really understand why anyone would make this up, so i totally believe the story. i'm glad you got a second chance, and that you were saved by the miracle of medicine and the good work of trained professionals, and while i'm really sorry you went through what you did, i don't expect that will help. if i had something suitable and effective to say, i would, but i can't think of anything, so sorry will have to do.

so, my question. Simpsons/Family Guy/South Park, and do you now feel glad you did it? Like if you hadn't nearly died you might not have ended up living properly?

Kilty_McBagpipes · 7 months

Sorry if this has been asked already, but how did you get caught/found and taken to the hospital? Did you call someone or were you found before the pills did their work? If it was a situation of someone coming home was it expected or unexpected?

Thanks for doing such an interesting AMA, and we are glad you are still with us

harringtonbull · 7 months

Do you have any type of brain damage from this?

higagerger · 7 months

What time of day did Alaska become a state?

Git_Off_Me_Lawn · 7 months

Hey, this may sound really cheesy, but I'm really glad you're okay and are doing better now.

WanderingDervish · 7 months

Can you recall the time you flat lined at all? Was there a light? Did you see heaven or hell? Were you Christian prior to flat lining? I didn't see any earlier comment on here about this.
