What is it like to die?

[WantingtoLeave]

What is it like to die? How does that feel?

 

[flightless bird]

it's the ultimate intimacy, the silent core of life, the world with all its content dissolves, like mist in wind, the language in your brain becomes unbelievable, and it was all a dream.

what's after death scares me. the finality & permanency of suicide in general scare me

the most likely "scientific" reality is just nothingness, loss of consciousness, it's like sleeping when you're not dreaming. that's what i look at it as the most

i wonder what there is after death though. maybe if all the religions are real i'll be in hell, or reincarnated
or there will be a new different form of consciousness, idk. suicide for me is hoping for the scientific result, simply ceasing existence. i just wanna sleep forever man

speaking from experience after a failed attempt via train
mentally my life was concluded and the last few seconds of running have felt like eternal tranquility.
there was no pain and i only felt happiness
i imagine that once you are sure you want to ctb then your mind will be prepared for what's next and bid farewell.

ever since my attempt i still haven't been able to feel alive because my belief in death was final. i can only say that i reincarnated as a different person.

Prolly a nap, a long long nap

I believe the closest we can get to what happens after death, based somewhat on scientific evidence, are near-death experiences.

1 micro-second after my brain dies it won't be able to create this nightmare of extreme suffering ever again .

i am my brain. it's a brain that can suffer unending constant unbearable pain.

Similar to what it was before you were born.

DMT is automatically released from your brain
Some people feel that time stands still or speeds up
You gradually lose your 5 senses
They say you feel an incredible peace but I don't know

Better then it is to live I hope.

I don't know. I've never done it.

But the evidence suggests that after death there is nothing at all. Imagine a very deep sleep, but without any dreams.

 

[JohnRys]

Depends on how you go I think. Some deaths will be full of pain and others more like a long deep sleep.

There was a case once where someone having a brain scan died during the procedure. While it was obviously very tragic for him and his family, it must have been very useful for the medical staff to observe.

Apparently, the areas of the brain associated with memory lit up all over the place, lending weight to the theory that maybe we do see our lives flash before us. Not sure I'm all that keen on watching a re-run of my life. Living it was bad enough!
