Two days ago I saw my little brother try (and succeed) in hanging himself.

Luckily I got there in time and my mom was able to bring him back to life.
See it play out every time I close my eyes.

Listening to someones last breaths is the most horrific sound Ive ever heard.
Witnessing my grandparents dying.
People always say I heard their last breath as if it were some gentle sigh or something.
Not even fucking close.
Listening to someones last breaths is the most horrific sound Ive ever heard.
Just thinking of it again gives me shivers.

They poured gasoline over themselves and set themselves on fire.
I work in mental health, particularly with people who have extensive suicidal ideation and multiple psychiatric hospitalizations.
They poured gasoline over themselves and set themselves on fire.
There are no words for how extremely terrifying that is to see.
The worst part was they didnt immediately die.
I will hear them say that wasnt what I wanted for the rest of my life.

Bits of eye, brain, and teeth went flying out in a pinkish cloud.
It went in his mouth and slid up along his jawline and out his eye.
We secured the weapon and applied pressure on his face until the paramedics showed up.
The worst part is he lived.

It was one of the many times my mother tried to kill my father.
I think one of the worst was when father came downstairs one morning with his face covered in blood.
My mother was a tad…off.
When confronted my mother just laughed and said, oh so that is where all my needles went!
It was one of the many times she tried to kill my father.

The chainsaw went straight up into his head.
I was watching this as an interested neighbor.
Tree fell in my neighbors yard down a steep hill.

There was…a lot of blood pretty much everywhere.
School shooting at my high school.
There was…a lot of blood pretty much everywhere.
Man, that shit sucked.
That image of the school sticks with me and its been almost 20 years now.

My mother grabs her by the throat and picks her up and presses her against my window.
So my mother sister and I lived in a small apartment.
TLDR: Drugs are bad, and dont take a stab at kill or even threaten your kids.
Thank you for taking the time to read all this.

I opened my eyes to see nothing but darkness and could hear nothing.
At least dying didnt hurt, I thought.
1996, aged 19, I went on an Inter-Rail trip round Europe with my then boyfriend.
Best trip ever, and cost peanuts compared to what I spend on holidays now with my two rugrats.
At least dying didnt hurt, I thought.
Then, instantly, Oh, Im still thinking!
Thats not what I expected, I thought everything would just stop.
Maybe it will in a minute.
Maybe this is it and Im about to go.
So I waited… and waited… That was the scariest moment ever for me in my whole life.
My boyfriend is screaming my name.
I have been on one since but only briefly!

I could smell the smoke from the fire.
I could smell the metal.
I could smell the blood.
Driving across the country on government travel.
In the panhandle of Florida heading west on the interstate.
Its been raining off and on so Im taking my time and trying to be safe.
Eventually I see traffic starting to slow ahead.
As I get closer I see bodies and cars scattered on the east bound lanes.
First I see a big dude without a shirt laying in the middle of the road.
Someone is doing CPR on him.
Then I see a vehicle fully engulfed in flames.
Then I see another vehicle upside down.
Theres people trying to flip it.
Someone is stuck inside.I pull over and get out.
An ambulance rolls up.
I identify myself and jump in the back to grab some gloves.
I go to the first person I can find.
Hes in and out of consciousness.
His foot and leg are wayyyy broken.
He has large knots on his head.
I just hold c spine and double-check he doesnt get up every time he comes to.
I see a kid in the grass in front of me who seems fine.
Theres nothing I can do.
I just stay with my guy until Im relieved by paramedics.
I could smell the smoke from the fire.
I could smell the metal.
I could smell the blood.

The way he was breathing was the most disturbing thing I had ever seen.
I once witnessed the aftermath of a bar fight.
One small drunk guy kept pushing a large sober guy for no apparent reason.
Large guy knocked him out with one punch but from what I heard it was a vicious punch.
The way he was breathing was the most disturbing thing I had ever seen.
His body was on survival mode to keep his lungs pumping air.
It was hard forceful breathing.
Blood pouring from his mouth because several of his teeth had been knocked out.
The poor man even pissed himself.
But he has apparently recovered and still up to his old ways.
I never want to see someone like that ever again.

I had to come face to face with the scene where my brother committed suicide.
Scariest moment is when I had to come face to face with the scene where my brother committed suicide.
However this doesnt apply to my immediate family.
They have my absolute trust and love.
Knowing that its been hours since he jumped.
I was 25 at the time too.
I had to suck everything up and comfort my parents with false hope by saying this is probably BS.
I will never forget that moment, where all logic just flew out the window.

The thoughts you have when you think you are going to get shot are quite odd.
I was in a bank robbery six years ago.
I still remember the horrible feeling of realizing that it was not a joke and was actually happening.
Two men with guns inside, shouting Dont look!
I remember feeling completely panicked and helpless.
I have never felt so helpless actually.
I felt like time completely stopped while it was going on.
It felt like I was standing there forever hoping no one got hurt.
I remember I could taste a metallic taste in my mouth.
And the thoughts you have when you think you are going to get shot are quite odd.
I still occasionally will have terrible nightmares about being trapped somewhere with someone with a gun.

I have never in my life been so scared.
Never have I ever thought I was about to be murdered.
Victim of a severe road rage incident.
I am a small 26 years old woman in a Mazda 3.
He gets in front of me, and then slams on his breaks.
I slam on mine and narrowly miss hitting him.
We are sitting there for a minute, when he starts revving his engine.
He goes into reverse and tries hitting my car.
Im screaming and go into reverse.
We are now both driving down the mountain in reverse.
I use my Bluetooth to call 911.
They cant make anything out Im saying because Im screaming.
After about 100 yards of driving backwards he stops.
(Idk why) I start talking to the 911 operator.
The man gets out of his car with a weapon and starts running towards me.
In the distance a car is coming and the man runs back into his truck and flees.
I have never in my life been so scared.
Never have I ever thought I was about to be murdered.
It is not a feeling you’re free to forget, but its hard to explain.
I was crying and shaking uncontrollably for the next six hours.
I do not drive that road anymore.

I witnessed the Boston Marathon bombing.
The puff of smoke goes rolling up the side of a church.
These cops who had been standing nearby chitchatting are likeinstinctively instantlyrunning TOWARD the booms.
And I have never seen cops in the moment of crisis run toward danger before.
This was 4 yrs ago in Boston.

This fucked me up so badly that I cant even remember how old I was.
I know I was in elementary school and it was before Grade 4.
I have more memories from pre-k than I do from between k-4.
This is the most vivid one.
Waking up to my mother screaming hysterically.
He had passed of SIDS sometime during the night.

The night before, a homeless man had been shot and then burned to death underneath that bridge.
The most bone-chilling moment Ive ever had was when I was pretty young.
I was with a youth group on a mission trip.
Each day we would do different tasks around the city we were in.
This years trip was to San Antonio.
We were cleaning up a street and bridge area when we found some very disturbing things.
It started with a bag full of used needles.
That seemed relativity normal for the location.
It stepped up when we found a dead dog with a pentagram carved into its side.
Under the bridge tucked at the top we found some burned sandals.
Thats when the cops came by.

Before raping me the first time, he choked me until I was on the verge of passing out.
My rapist was someone I trusted, a former professor of mine.
Before raping me the first time, he choked me until I was on the verge of passing out.
He told me hed killed someone once, and went on to describe the details.
He also told me, I like it when youre scared.
I couldve killed you.
Just that look in his eyes, and the cackle.
Ill never forget that.

I remember thinking I dont want to die, looking up at the ceiling and everything turning white.
I was playing basketball in my driveway and the ball rebounded hard and was moving away from me.
I ended up diving head-first into my dads truck bumper.
Over the course of two weeks I was slowly dying.
My dad noticed something was amiss and took me to the doctor.
They did an MRI and found the cyst for the first time.
I start freaking out and calling for my dad.
I look up at the ceiling and someone puts the gas mask over my mouth and nose.
I remember thinking I dont want to die, looking up at the ceiling and everything turning white.
Then, almost seamlessly, I am being propelled out into space at a speed I cant comprehend.
Everything around me looked like I was out in the middle of the universe without being on a planet.
Stars and light everywhere with a noticeable amount of deep purple cascading through it all.
I notice I am approaching a rock.
This rock had a triangle bottom and a flat surface with stone steps on it.
Then I noticed someone at the bottom of the steps and something at the top.
Then I WAS the person at the bottom of the steps.
I started looking around and freaking out.
I hear some sort of vibration and then try and focus on it.
I realize that the something at the top of the stairs was trying to talk to me.
Then it asks me do you want to go back?
Of him trying to move forward in life after losing me.
I felt all the pain I was going to incur on my dad if I died.
I started begging this thing to send me back.
It replied with okay but this is your last shot, and then I woke up in the hospital.
I was surrounded by my family.
No one could ever explain to me what happened.
