Has anyone here been dead from a successful attempt and gotten revived?

Tell us about it. was there a vast nothingness, flames/torture/creepy stuff, or even the white light thing9although I doubt it)? What is your story?

I had a drug overdose in 2015 from a fun night and died and came back. Obviously I basically had a heart attack so the way down was scary and I pictured myself in newspapers and my mom finding out and thinking I was a drug user or something (I am not).

You think about your life quite a bit before you kick it, "flashing before your eyes," but after that when you finally close your eyes it's quite peaceful and nice, just like falling asleep.

That sounds nice! I'll take it! How long were you dead? you aren't religious are you(now that you know the truth)?

I guess I was dead (no heartbeat or anything) after a drug overdose a couple years ago. There wasn't anything remotely enlightening or spiritual about it – just darkness, essentially the same feeling as going to sleep. The doctors brought me back by shocking my heart, and a couple days later I was conscious again.

Well. I wasn't suicidal at all until very recently this summer so it wasn't nice at all and I basically died from a heart attack so it was actually awful and terrifying. I'm not too religious but I grew up roman catholic and still go to church and even pray occasionally. There is obviously no such thing as an afterlife so it wouldn't change anything.

I've had a few drug induced OBEs but I've never flatlined and experienced a NDE. Here's a good resource if you're interested, it's the largest collection online of such cases/stories.

I assisted in the resuscitation of many, many people in my acute cardiac nursing days and not one of them ever remembered anything or had any out of body experiences. Very disappointing.

Then why bother if god doesn't exist?!
