When I was younger I lost too much blood and my heart stopped. I was clinically dead for a minute and 13 seconds. I don't think it really counts because my brain was still active and shutting down due to lack of blood flow and stuffs but it wasn't so bad. Just nothing. No thoughts or feelings, just an endless peaceful void.
Not really in a hurry to get back there anytime soon though...

You didn't die. You passed out cause lack of blood.
-
I'll be sure to pass that along to the doctors, Deatheater M.D.
-
Damn I wish I had a experience like that so my passing will be “more reassuring”
-
13 Is that a sign?
-
I undied on the spooky number!
-
* -* It must be a sign ! I can't thank you enough!!
-
Weird flex but okay

Could you tell me about the experience? Not the post death or anything, or how you lost blood, but how did you feel while losing the blood? Could you feel it leaving your body, or did it feel more or less normal? Did your veins feel empty or anything like that? Am I being weird..? Sorry. I spenf a few weeks studying blood loss a while back, and I know the physicsl symptoms, but for obvious reasons, I’ve never had anyone describe it from their view. Just medical reports & the like.

The best way I can describe the blood leaving part is "it tickled." It wasn't painful and I was kinda doped up on adrenaline because "OH GOD IM BLEEDING AHHHH!" Then it was kind of like being on "laughing gas." Light headed, cold, tired. Then I passed out.

Interesting. Have you ever given blood? If so, is it similar to that sensation? Less/more intense maybe? I wish I could say the lack of pain was surprising, but we’re surprisingly ignorant of pain. In fact, if you don’t know of a wound, you likely won’t even feel it. I am surprised by you describing it as ticklish, though. Know how much you lost by chance? How’d you feel after recovering?

[quote]Nope, on one hand I feel a bit guilty about it since donated blood helped me, but in the other I have a bit of a fear of needles...[/quote] Nothing to feel guilty about, I think. We, as humans, aren’t big on having blood taken out of us. I was just wondering, because I believe they suck it out. [quote]I don't remember all the fine details since it happened so long ago, but I distinctly remember jokingly telling my mom it kinda tickled.[/quote] I can see it. It’d be really hard to describe the feeling I had when getting blood drawn. I assume it’s probably vaguely similar. [quote]Not really, enough for my heart to stop. I was a bit more depressed than normal afterwards, but I got better.[/quote] Hm.. If I remember right, that’d be somewhere around 40%-50% total blood loss. 2.2-2.5ish liters for an average adult human, less obviously if you were younger. Anyway, very insightful! Thanks!

Did you get "light at the end of the tunnel"? Or just void. [spoiler]That's metal as -blam!-.[/spoiler]

Zombie?

Vampire. Bleh!
-
Like baby young?
-
Wowzers....
-
Nah it's fine I got better
-
If you had no thoughts or feelings how do you know it was peaceful?
-
Because I came back and had this life to compare it to?
-
I guess what I’m saying is can the word “peaceful” be used to describe nothingness? Peaceful suggests tranquility and restfulness. Which requires some kind of awareness or consciousness. I know what you’re saying I’m just being pedantic.
-
I consider not existing to be peaceful. Which is how I'm going to justify exterminating humanity to bring peace on Earth!

Oh no Are you Zamazu?

I don't understand that reference
