What do you think dying feels like?

[drag201]

Specifically, the very moment when you take your last breath. Do you think it's slower, how life "flashes before your eyes"? Or do you think it's a quick fade out from existence? Or something else?

 

[TheHolySword]

It's probably terrifying and sad honestly. The sudden realization that you will be no more. Your existence reduced to nothing in this world. I would like my last thoughts to be of love and peace but I imagine it may be a sort of nightmare to contend with in your final moments.

Dying? Well, that depends. I don't think death is bad. However, the way someone may experience death can be bad. I imagine my death, though using a firearm and self-inflicted will be beautiful. I'll be pushing past the ultimate limits of human experience and truly determining my own destiny. I know there will be pain. I understand the risks. I know that the discovery of this body will be shocking. However, I'll have left this life. All of the pain, and then none ever again. To me, that's beautiful. It's beautiful because I want to die. I think death can be sad when visited upon someone who doesn't want to go.

I don't care who remembers me. I don't care what they think of me. I don't care if I'm remembered. I don't care how my death will be perceived. This is something that I want and am choosing. So, for me, ctb will be a beautiful experience. For I will be free, one way or another.

Okay, so, about those tries that didn't work... it was a real mixed bag. Some you get flash moments of your life; others were totally blank, nothing at all. And that one time, it started okay, then it took forever and really hurt; it felt all fuzzy and sleepy, then it started stinging my neck, and *snap!* the branch broke. So it depends how you feel at that moment , I guess.

it depends on a person and how one views death in general i guess

i hope it's peaceful and without pain.
everyone- suicidal or not -deserves a peaceful and painless death.

i hope when i go, that my final moments are at peace with my decision, and happy, and that i have no regrets.

i'll be getting on my bus via a high dose of sn - so i'll have around 20 or so minutes to contemplate my existence prior to death, i hope that i'm not aware of which breath turns out to be my last, i think that would make me sad.

For me it was peaceful knowing that I would be able to leave it all behind. After throwing up the SN, I just laid at the foot of my bed. Cried knowing that I can finally be at peace and I closed my eyes. I didn't have any flashbacks of memories or such. Just a slow fade to black.

Technically, what real death feels like is unknowable. Even those who come back after clinical death only have memory to rely upon. And they didn't stay dead. But the dead don't have mouths to speak. Or brains to think. Unless souls exist. But again, rather unknowable. Hence curious?

where you failed with SN?

I've seen someone die and it seemed awful. :(
(Rest in peace to their soul)

I think like most things in life it's subjective - and it depends on how you are dying..

surely the method by which you are passing leaves an impact on your last moments..

since being surrounded by family in my old age isn't an option.. I am hoping to go by as peaceful a method as possible and hopefully fade to black..

 

[finishLana]

Depends on a death. Something peaceful like N or opiod OD is just like going under anesthesia, drifting into a sleep. End of conscientiousness is what it is. I don't like the idea of physical pain while dying it's certainly unfortunate.

 

[FuneralCry]

Hopefully just feels like nothing, I personally only hope and wish for permanent non-existence, it'd be a relief for me to never suffer in this existence ever again, under no circumstances would I wish to be conscious in this existence, for me personally I'll only be at peace once I'm permanently free from the burden of existing.

 

[L'absent]

It depends on the type of death. Anyone who feels something (because they are conscious) will feel something similar to what they have already experienced in life and will not think that they are taking their last breath. Everyone else will already be unconscious and will not feel anything.
