Do you want to know your dead?

[Jade10666]

I know it sounds silly - but I do. I want to have a moment before I lose consciousness forever to realize I have no way to escape.

I want have a final moment where I can say "I am dead," then darkness.

 

[DivineSpark]

I think there is something. I have had tons of spiritual experiences in life, but either way, I dont really care. Cant be worse than this life on our planet.

 

[SVEN]

Well, if I'm presently dead and just don't know it ... I'm going to be ever so angry when I find out !

 

[SecretDissociation]

It woud be nice! But if its kinda like falling sleep where you know you fell asleep you just don't exactly know at what point your brain fell asleep then thats okay too!

 

[DoomCry]

I understand your question, but the thread title is misleading.

Thats how I feel to

 

[locked*n*loaded]

Nope. If somehow I become aware that I'm dead, then there must be something more afterwards. I don't believe there is, so back to "nothingness" is what I bank on.

what would you recommend

I don't want to interfere in your thread, it's disrespectful. However, I would like to understand why you chose that title?

It means do I want to have a moment in time where I know I will die or feel I am dead (or will be) and can't change it. Like jumping. Once you leave the balcony, you know you will be dead - or hanging - there is no way to escape when you step off.

Literally you are not dead, but you will be dead in the next few moments.

I understand what you meant by the title. Like, would we like some type of confirmation that we were successful in dying.

I personally would. Whether it's my "life flashing before my eyes", or some inner feeling of knowing that I was successful, right before the light flickers out, would be comforting. But I have a sense that in the eternal nothingness of death, the feeling of pure bliss would be enough confirmation as well.

I think you caught my meaning exactly. We spend so much time wanting to die -it would be a shame to miss the moment :)

 

[FuneralCry]

No, I just want to be unconscious for all eternity with no more pain and no more suffering, I'd just never wish to suffer in this futile, torturous existence at all rather I just want to not exist, I want all to finally be forgotten for me, I want nothing to be able to concern me, in this existence where there's all this cruelty and suffering with no limit as to how much agony one can feel non-existence is all I personally see as positive and is all I hope for. The only peace for me could lie in never suffering ever again, I'll personally always see existence as the most terrible mistake that just causes so much harm and suffering until all is gone anyway in non-existence and as long as I exist I'll only hope to not exist, only non-existence can bring me the relief I search for from this existence I just never would had wished for.

 

[Forveleth]

I kind of did that on my attempts. My last thought before unconsciousness was "Here we go", in a way that I knew I was not going to wake up. It was basically an acknowledgement that I was losing consciousness and that I was ready for death.

I am thinking the feeling is a little bit like when you go under for surgery. You count backward and you just "let go"

I hope its much like that

That is totally what it was like for me. I have had surgery, and I guess I channeled some of that when I was losing consciousness, especially the first time when I used chloroform. It was definitely just like falling asleep for surgery, and I just let myself go.

why did you survive?

 

[Forveleth]

why did you survive?

My attempt was not well planned, and I did not understand how chloroform really worked, so I woke up after some time and puked all over the floor.

My second attempt was partial hanging, and I kept jumping awake, like when you are about to fall asleep in bed and you startle yourself awake. Got mad at myself after a few times and gave up. I have not felt in the mental state to make another attempt since.

 

[Grav]

I was thinking about this. Would it be a euphoric feeling being still concious but at the point that you're a gonner, knowing you have no more pain and its over.

When I was a teenager, I hanged myself from a full suspension - I would have died if the anchor had not given way. I want to find that mindset again that allowed for it. But it feels like it's coming fast

Maybe just relief that you are going to pass to the other side.

 

[Forever Sleep]

I suspect we probably will have a 'this is it' moment just beforehand. Especially if it's suicide and we're expecting to die.

I maybe came close in terms of thought process when I had my first gallstone attack. I got terrific cheast pains with the first one. I assumed it was a heart attack. I was like- shit- this feels serious. Ok- don't phone for an ambulance- you're ready to die. It was so annoying when I didn't.

I thought maybe you meant more like a sensation after death that we had died. Like those out of body experiences people report, looking down on ourselves etc. Maybe that would be good. A realisation that our struggle was over. I suppose it would depend on what happened after that though.

That would give more weight to the whole 'rest in peace' though. It is kind of strange the way many of us long for non existence when, we'll likely have no way of appreciating it when we get there.

 

[Dark Moon]

Nah, I don't want to remember my suffering and how terrible life is here for me on this planet.

It's kind of a paradox. Like does time cease to exist the moment you are dead ? What does that even mean ? I'm scared of eternal nothingness but at the same time life is impossibly painful for me to bear

Its true you can't tell you are dead, the idea is really "do you want to know a second before you are dead." Hanging FSH means you have no escape once you step off - so dead man swinging - so to speak

 

[Worndown]

Well, with full suspension, you should have 3 to 7 seconds to appreciate your success before it goes dark.

I don't know. There is nothing celebratory about my death. Right now it would be the ending of an almost laughably pointless life. Like why am I here? The moment after death is terrifying to me what happens. It's a complete unknown. Is it painful, scary, etc... There's also just an am I right element in what I believe is right in terms of Christianity/ heaven. Is there like a line to get in? Does heaven work like that? It's heaven? Surely hell but heaven? Is there a help desk and tour guide? etc... I don't really have anxiety on earth is it normal to have anxiety about heaven... Like the conversations. You get to the pearly gates with your group that somehow you died too late for and somehow heaven really does have a line. Peter kicks it off with the obvious question how did you all die because hey that's what brought you there. Before he theatrically with pride explains how he was crucified upside down. As he turns to you you have to croak out whatever pathetic way you died. As the group laughs and walks away you are really pondering your life choices and realize somehow here to you are an outcast.

 

[JesiBel]

I guess we all have one last thought or sensation before we die..

I am very intrigued to know what the final moments of life will be like.

My guess it will be a singular thought like - "let go"

 

[deadeyesnowman]

Don't care. I already know hell is my destination anyways.

 

[Gustav Hartmann]

It depends very much on your method. If you blow your brain away with shotgun you have no time. If you jump, it depends on the hight. If you jump for example from a plane, you will have several minutes.

I will hang myself, and like you I am curious what my last thought, when I hang and there is no way back, will be. Anyhow, we will probably never be able to remember this experience and this makes it a little like it has never happened.
