Not trying to be a butt about this, but first thing that came to my mind was. Shouldn’t your mind gone to the first time when you … so it couldn’t happen twice? I’m curious if it could be a different run up to the event that triggered it a 2nd time for you?
@oceride568 when people say your life flashes before your eyes it's more like you brain running through situations and you pondering how you got where you are and thinking about how you could of done something differently
Even sader is the fact that some people with long term illnesses or similar don't experience this because they have been in the situation for so long their brain thinks it's not dieing
I would disagree... as someone with a serious incurable illness, I've experienced firsthand how it feels when your body is beginning to shut down. Your brain knows, but due to the nature of these kind of illnesses, it won't comb your memories for an answer because there is no answer. It's not something you can adapt to, or control the outcome of- so your brain instead will simply begin the mental process of dying. Depression, over-sleeping, and a gentle slope downwards in function.
Actually, many times people dying in hospitals or hospices are on so much medication, they don't get the "natural death" experience the brain produces during death. It's actually heartbreaking to hear the most recent generations are robbed of their brains last gift to them
@@randomuchThis is completely false. Hospice does not drug people until they cannot function, what hospice does is treat symptoms of death such as extreme pain, anxiety, agitation, and shortness of breath. If any of those symptoms are bothering someone they will treat it, if the person is fine then no meds are given. It's rare for people dying of terminal illnesses to even be "conscious" during the last couple days of death, medicated or not, there is no way of telling what exactly they hear and feel. But most people days before that will have visitations from dead loved ones.
@liv_rayne6803 Your brain is the most selfish thing and the one that cares the most. Your brain will do anything to keep itself alive because if it dies, so do you. That's why you bowels release when you die, why you go limp. Your brain shuts off every single thing it can to save the blood and oxygen for itself. It's heartwarming because like doctors, nurses, EMT's, and family, Your brain fights for you until your last breath.
I actually had pneumonia and almost died and I remember sitting on the hospital bed thinking this was ganne be my last day on earth and suddenly started remembering my childhood and past memories it was crazy.
Gotta love the human body. So amazinnng. Always healing itself, has an immune system to protect against sickness and build immunity, and this. ❤ Treat your body well!
My mom died from esophageal cancer. She fought for 3 years. She was put on in home hospice when she stopped treatment after the cancer went into her spinal cord. We took care of her as a family, pain meds on the regular, bathed her, and we each took shifts. On my dad's shift, he came to my room and said mom was coughing, and he needed help boosting mom up to breathe. I told him to phone the nurse, we live in a rual area and it would take time to get a nurse. While he called the nurse, I sat with my mom listening to her, she wasn't coughing, it was a death rattle. I knew this from working in hospitals as a teen. I had to tell my dad these were her last moments. He sat beside her, and I could see her fighting, fighting to breathe, fighting. Her mind was doing this exact thing. I told my mom calmly, "it's okay, mom, you can let go, we will be okay." She looked over at my dad, who nodded and said it was true he would be okay, and he loved her. She closed her eyes and let go, no fighting. No struggles was like a release peacefully.
When I almost died and can came back. It only called my name in a female voice I don't recognize the voice but that voice only says my name and that all.
But every death is random imagine you almost died four times by a car accident but when your like in a fallen building your brain doesn't know what to do when you get in a another car accident your brain know what to do since it expienced it many times
Falling is actually one of the few things we don’t need previous experiences with to know how to react. We have the evolutionary trait of reacting when falling from birth. They actually test this on newborn babies to see that they are healthy. They hold them in their arms and drop down a couple inches and the baby’s will react
Even though we have the instinct, I would think we actually do get better at catching ourselves over time just from the practice. Carnivores are born with the instinct to hunt but they initially suck bc they’re babies and have no practice
I was sitting for my job's written exam, and as fhe seconds were going by and as i was writing my answers i could really see my memories flash by, most painful memories of my life, how my family made through times, how much i prepared for exams, how my father was waiting for me outside the exam hall for about an entire half -day, and so on and that feeling was HELL, a real HELL and scary which made me so tensed that i felt as if i am gonna die if i dont perform well. But am glad i passed and now i have that job. 😊
I'm imagining a very distraught brain looking through memories like on a computer, trying desperately to find a solution. Edit: I've never had to make an edit about this before but m'dudes- think of my notifs-
I had a great-grandmother, who, on her deathbed, suddenly recalled her entire life and said that her time had come, but she had raised three wonderful children who in turn raised wonderful grandchildren who have amazing children who she will have to watch them become adults from heaven...😢 She had not recognized the faces of her own kids for years. She passed away that night. Still miss her.

My great grandma also knew when she was gonna pass. She had been sick for a few weeks after years and years of being the most healthy 90-97 year old ever. But she was ready to go so even though I was sad, I felt good knowing she was ready. My great-great grandma died when I was around 5 and she had been ready to go as well. I really hope I get to have a peaceful death like that after a long life. When my mom, my nana, and I would all go to my great grandmas house while my great-great grandma was living there, there was 5 generations of women in our family in one place. I always thought that was so cool. Weirdly, the men in our family dont live half as long lol
Your life flashes through your eyes when you get close to death too. Ive been in multiple car accidents. It happened every time and I cried every time.
I have experienced this once, and while you have no reason to believe me, I wish I could assure people how comfortable it felt 😂 It was really chill, when I regained full consciousness I didn't want to wake up.
I got in a really bad bike accident, and when my head hit the ground, everything went black and I saw my family and my dogs and everything like a slideshow and a scariest thing I’ve ever experienced was like nothing you would normally experience ever.
A small note for cyclists; If you happened to fall with a full helmet and no gloves, Try to fall on your back and do NOT charge at the ground with your hands to hold the ground, you will damage your palm, and possibly break a finger. Long story short, dont use your hands to brake a fall. Use your back and roll if possible.
That's actually the most comforting fact I've ever heard. Several years ago I fully bled out, felt my heart stop, died "for several minutes", and was reanimated. There was nothing. No life memories, no comforting presences, no guiding lights. Just nothing. Nobody had even told me I was bleeding out - all I knew was that my leg was completely mangled - and I didn't know I had died until months later when the lawyer was going through the hospital documents for the insurance settlement. I have dealt with chronic "unaliving" ideation since I was a child. I have been very upset that nobody told me that I was bleeding out. Had I known, I would have asked that they don't reanimate me. I have been struggling with the lingering physical effects of the injuries that killed me and in the past couple of years my condition has rapidly degenerated without appropriate medical care (those hospital costs eat up an insurance payout QUICK). I decided several months ago to finally be done and have been methodically preparing everything so that when I go in March there will be nothing left hanging. I question all the time if I'm truly ready for this. Looks like my brain already decided that for me years ago. When presented with an opportunity to search for survival, it didn't. It let me just blank out and go to the oblivion. It was totally prepared to just go. Message heard and understood, brain. I'm ready. 💜
i am not judging you but was that suicide cause I've heard if you try to unalive yourself and in the process die for sometime, you don't have the same experience as others . i hope you are ok. may God help you come out of this and protect you. Amen
If you didn't have flash backs it's not because of acceptance it was because literally shutting down and killing you was THE ONLY WAY TO SAVE YOU. oh shit we're bleeding out. panic = higher pulse = faster bleed out = Shut down all operations Right fucking now it's our only chance. there are people nearby and hospitals have blood... all we can do is hope help comes in time. rest well body I hope we see each other soon. The only way out of that was what your brain did. and it didn't need memories for that. more or less common sense. can't move, will bleed out in a dew seconds. conserve as much as we can. your hart stoping saved you. and guess what stopped it? had you remained conscious and panicking you would not be here. Don't know how many ways to say this, but your brain is Amazing. specifically yours Stop being hard on yourself. The fact you do not fear the end means you can do anything (hopefully good and great things ) put it to good use. If you are indeed ready for the end let it come naturally. in the mean time there is a lot of things worth dying for. perhaps in search of one of those you might find something worth living for. good luck on your journey.
I was eighteen years old when my grandmother was dying from dementia. I was on Christmas break when I went to visit her- and she knew exactly who I was, but she was on a swift decline. my last visit to her before heading back to college ended in her wanting to see a calendar, so she could know when I'd be in town next. I drew a heart over my spring break and handed the booklet back over to her. she smiled and held it and told me emphatically that she loved me very much. when I turned and walked away only a minute or so later, it was to hide my tears- and I'm not a crier at all. I learned that day what it felt like to hear someone say they love you, and to know for a fact that it was the last time you'd hear it
My grandmother had vascular dementia so her mental ability was greatly reduced by the microstrokes. But she still smiled at my sister and clutched the cross given by the chaplain in a whiteknucked grip, even though she had since lost all ability to speak, move, think. She looked at peace, happy. She was a very generous woman, a teacher at primary and sunday school. She sung in choirs for charity, helped nurse her scarred father who returned from burma after WW2 (one of the bloodiest fronts), and worked so hard throughout her life. She and her husband saved everything, he was the son of a bricklayer and carpenter, she was raised by her 3 aunties who were butchers. Now my family uses their savings, and my siblings are engineers and doctors. I am so proud to be decended from her.
I sometimes have this weird idea of "what if I am dy,ing, but this what I am living through is the "living through the memories" a.k.a flashing before your eyes :D
@dtulip1 yeah I am sorry, atleast I didn't tell you about my fear of me being in asylum and my whole reality being in my head and such... When I was younger.
If that's the case then that's all the more reason to cherish this life. Because that means you will never get to see it again when you do finally come to an end. Enjoy life because if it's all a dying memory then you should appreciate the brain's love for life and the body, it's desperate attempt to save you from death gives you one more chance to live again. Because if that is the case then this process is borrowed time. It's a whole life in 7 minutes, don't waste those 7 minutes.
It's heartbreaking and very heartwarming to learn this fact. As a person who......... well, um, don't wanna get into detail about it rn............... I feel this
This makes so much sense. I fell off of a cliff and thought I was going to drop onto the road 70m below. My life flashed before my eyes...as I'd never experienced that before!! I ended up coming to rest on a cliff about 13 feet down that I couldn't see from above. Apparently I screamed, which I don't remember. My rock climbing partner came to get me and I was shaking. But it was also the most serene and peaceful feeling I've ever had, just knowing I was done for and there was literally nothing I could do. Very unusual and I don't necessarily recommend it but I'm happy that my story worked out as it did.
I had an extremely similar experience when I got in a car accident years back. You described it more accurately than anywhere else I’ve read about this. It’s terrifying yet beautiful. I remember crying tears of joy and fear. I didn’t see the accident because my life was playing out before my eyes. So glad you’re okay, that sounds horrific
Death is something I don't want to experience any time soon. But on many darling days, when I wish to welcome death, I think of it as something beautiful. It's not because many often describe it this way, but just imagining myself in that position puts me at peace. This year has been my darkest of years. Constant fear, stress, the wish to give up, to say goodbye. To just off myself. But the thought of death did not have the effect I had expected. No, at that moment I felt my surroundings become quiet. My pounding head became so much clearer. And the weight on my shoulders had been lifted as if nothing had even been there. It was strange. For the whole year, all I felt was heaviness, strain, and ache. But suddenly everything is at peace... with the thought of death? It made me feel like at that moment I could accept it. However, I still had goals to achieve, a family to look out for, to be next to, and to live my life before taking it away. The weight was back. But that feeling, I still miss it. Perhaps I am getting ahead of myself by saying I think death is something that can be described as peaceful when I have never experienced anything close to it. But it still brings me big closure in life.
I feel bad for my brain- but it's also nice to know I have a buddy that'd do ANYTHING to keep me safe. Going through every single memory in a desperate attempt to keep me alive. Poor brain :/ (P.S. gonna draw this now)
My bio teacher made our whole class feel a lot better when he detailed how the millions of cells in our immune system are all ready to die and sacrifice themselves for us 🥹
My teacher says "If you do stupid shit your brain reacts to it. Treat your brain like a conjoined twin and listen. Its there...learn to listen and use it as an advantage." This was my bio teacher in ninth grade.
oh because a manga called re:zero is basically just that where the main character has a curse to never die and so when he does die he resets at a certain date. his whole thing is using his instincts from what he has learned to defeat people even though he if very weak. he just fights someone, dies, and then goes again but this time he dodges whatever attack that killed him and repeats it until the guy is defeated.
I saw stars also. I was in a basement with a low ceiling, changing a kitty litter box. Stood up to my full 5'4" height & hit my head on a furnace cold air vent. I saw 5 or 6 white stars that moved in a half-circle. Only time that ever happened.
@@alivia.adams12what they said is speculating. Not everyone even experiences visual thoughts or has an inner monologue. Visuals in your mind are more of a spectrum, some people can kindof imagine what the general shape of let’s say an object but not really be able to imagine it in high detail, some can just keep feeding details into the thought and basically “paint” the picture in their mind
As someone who has fallen from a bridge high above water, then fall and drowned in water, send to hospital, wake a day after, i do remember some of my memories flashes when drowned, its hard to forget, since the backhead and back pain also the pain from drowning is very hurtful, and yes it all because i tripped a bit, truly a wonderful experience
People have other experiences as well, often more profound ones. Such as out of body, or approaching the barrier. We also don't know why this life flashing happens.
Honestly, that's beautiful. Our creation is so complex that we have such magnificent build, that every part of our body has a lot to take care of. While we are oblivious to any of it. I never thought about the seeing "your life flash before your eyes" as a defence mechanism against harm. We are truly walking miracles.
Our poor brain...😢 we should be thankful for a parent who is always with us... our brain.. there to help us up. There to protect our body and try to save us even in death..❤❤ Thank you brain. We love you.
Apparently one of the symptoms for the onset of a severe allergic reaction is "a sense of impending doom". In certain ways, our body is very smart. And then you have the fever response, which will often kill you before whatever infection you have can do it.
when you even slip and miss one step on the stairs your life flashes before your eyes because you might fall so that's an example of your brain handling danger
That's actually pretty fascinating... I wonder if that happens to people that aren't worried about death and welcome it vs people who are terrified and not ready for it
This is awful because this frames it more like a loved one reaching out, doing everything they can to change your fate. Like someone who has spent their whole life helping you realizing there’s nothing left they can do but refusing to believe it.
Kids actually get hurt less by falls than adults. The kids are more upset than hurt, and heal quickly. Adults, unless in good form and have training, are more often likely to not only be injured but crippled. Compare a child trips and falls. Is bruised but 10 minutes later forgot about it and is running around again. An adult trips and falls, now facing hip surgery, and will never run again.
if a person is pronounced medically dead but then gets resuscitated (for example) back to life after like the 15th time the brain would just say “no” 💀
It's essentially trying to read the records in an attempt to stop it, not realizing that nowhere within that database is a single time where this danger has occurred
To everyone in the comments who thinks the experience is disturbing It’s actually not In fact it’s the most peaceful thing I have ever experienced It’s an overwhelming yet somehow peaceful experience that is almost euphoric I have experienced it twice (I have TOPS) It doesn’t happen when I faint anymore but I really wish it did I cannot possibly describe that experience in words
It makes sense. Imagine your body going through catastrophic system failure and the guy behind the controller not ever have gotten the explanation of what to do, only that if it happens, game over, so he knows he has a finite amount of time to go back through old saves trying to find out what he did wrong, but there are no answers. Only panic and distress.
It’s more like the dark passenger from Dexter. Dexter Morgan has his dark passenger which is his urge to kill. He had this when he was a kid because he saw his mom die with a chainsaw. He was adopted by a police officer named Harry Morgan who nee that Dexter would be a bad person. So Harry taught Dexter the code. The two biggest rules are don’t get caught and only kill bad people. Dexter’s secret couldn’t be shared with anyone, not even his adoptive sister, Debra Morgan. Now Dexter works at Miami Metro PD alongside his sister and others. He’s also the bay harbour butcher but his secret isn’t safe since a big black guy called James Doakes, Sergeant of MMPD, is suspicious of Dexter
Initially one entity but the consciousness is developed through experience and time because if not then the body would have to always be on an instinctive state which would be very depressing and can very much cause death.
Another disturbing fact is that saved by the Bell was because people kept on accidentally getting buried alive during the dark ages because so many people were dying that they had to add a bell on a string so the person that was buried alive. Can you ring the bell and someone can dig them out
When I was a child, almost a toddler, somebody told me - I will not say who - that this was god giving us an opportunity to repent any sins we might have forgotten. It was my first step on the road to atheism.
I saw a tiktok of a chameleon dying, and it was changing into all the colors 🥺😭 her entire life and index of emotions was also flashing before her eyes 😭😭😭
The feeling is hard to explain. The moment lasts for ages. The amount of thing and emotion you go through is immense. I was not near death fortunately, but my brain believed so.
That explains why for people who have been in near death situations it's like a split second of your brain knowing what to do that brings such a heavy relief when you DO live. I've experienced that shock of "i did it" but i never registered it as my BRAIN talking. Every fact about the brain makes me tear up because of how complex it is, brains and computer systems have a special place in my heart.
As someone who nearly died and was very sceptical that this happens, it absolutely happened to me. I've never thought so many things and had a feeling like it when I thought it was all over.
As a person who almost died twice it actually happens
Not trying to be a butt about this, but first thing that came to my mind was. Shouldn’t your mind gone to the first time when you … so it couldn’t happen twice? I’m curious if it could be a different run up to the event that triggered it a 2nd time for you?

I always thought that was so cool. Weirdly, the men in our family dont live half as long lol
Your life flashes through your eyes when you get close to death too. Ive been in multiple car accidents. It happened every time and I cried every time.
R u okay now 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺
at that point just stop using a car
@madihachaudhary6380 yea, the worst one I just got whiplash and the car was trashed but mostly fine
@Tururu134 would if I could but there is so other way for me to get around
This doesn't always happen
Knowing my body is always there for me protecting me from things is rather comforting
I have experienced this once, and while you have no reason to believe me, I wish I could assure people how comfortable it felt 😂 It was really chill, when I regained full consciousness I didn't want to wake up.
It’s bittersweet. It’s bitter because your is panicking, but it’s also sweet because it’s panicking to save your life.
I agree
I got in a really bad bike accident, and when my head hit the ground, everything went black and I saw my family and my dogs and everything like a slideshow and a scariest thing I’ve ever experienced was like nothing you would normally experience ever.
Did you feel emotional? Like were you scared or sad or anything during it? Or just after
A small note for cyclists;
If you happened to fall with a full helmet and no gloves, Try to fall on your back and do NOT charge at the ground with your hands to hold the ground, you will damage your palm, and possibly break a finger. Long story short, dont use your hands to brake a fall. Use your back and roll if possible.
That's actually the most comforting fact I've ever heard. Several years ago I fully bled out, felt my heart stop, died "for several minutes", and was reanimated. There was nothing. No life memories, no comforting presences, no guiding lights. Just nothing.
Nobody had even told me I was bleeding out - all I knew was that my leg was completely mangled - and I didn't know I had died until months later when the lawyer was going through the hospital documents for the insurance settlement.
I have dealt with chronic "unaliving" ideation since I was a child. I have been very upset that nobody told me that I was bleeding out. Had I known, I would have asked that they don't reanimate me. I have been struggling with the lingering physical effects of the injuries that killed me and in the past couple of years my condition has rapidly degenerated without appropriate medical care (those hospital costs eat up an insurance payout QUICK).
I decided several months ago to finally be done and have been methodically preparing everything so that when I go in March there will be nothing left hanging. I question all the time if I'm truly ready for this.
Looks like my brain already decided that for me years ago. When presented with an opportunity to search for survival, it didn't. It let me just blank out and go to the oblivion. It was totally prepared to just go.
Message heard and understood, brain. I'm ready. 💜
i am not judging you but was that suicide cause I've heard if you try to unalive yourself and in the process die for sometime, you don't have the same experience as others .
i hope you are ok. may God help you come out of this and protect you. Amen
If you didn't have flash backs it's not because of acceptance it was because literally shutting down and killing you was THE ONLY WAY TO SAVE YOU.
oh shit we're bleeding out. panic = higher pulse = faster bleed out = Shut down all operations Right fucking now it's our only chance. there are people nearby and hospitals have blood... all we can do is hope help comes in time. rest well body I hope we see each other soon.
The only way out of that was what your brain did. and it didn't need memories for that. more or less common sense. can't move, will bleed out in a dew seconds. conserve as much as we can. your hart stoping saved you. and guess what stopped it? had you remained conscious and panicking you would not be here.
Don't know how many ways to say this, but your brain is Amazing. specifically yours
Stop being hard on yourself.
The fact you do not fear the end means you can do anything (hopefully good and great things )
put it to good use.
If you are indeed ready for the end let it come naturally.
in the mean time there is a lot of things worth dying for.
perhaps in search of one of those you might find something worth living for.
good luck on your journey.
I sign a DNR Everytime l have to go to the ER, l don't want to be cheated out of escaping this shitfucked existence.
March I'll mourn. Live until then making sure you'll have no regrets. Sending love from Sweden.
@@geoffwaller9058well with an attitude like that lmao what r u waiting for
I was eighteen years old when my grandmother was dying from dementia. I was on Christmas break when I went to visit her- and she knew exactly who I was, but she was on a swift decline. my last visit to her before heading back to college ended in her wanting to see a calendar, so she could know when I'd be in town next. I drew a heart over my spring break and handed the booklet back over to her. she smiled and held it and told me emphatically that she loved me very much.
when I turned and walked away only a minute or so later, it was to hide my tears- and I'm not a crier at all. I learned that day what it felt like to hear someone say they love you, and to know for a fact that it was the last time you'd hear it
My grandmother had vascular dementia so her mental ability was greatly reduced by the microstrokes. But she still smiled at my sister and clutched the cross given by the chaplain in a whiteknucked grip, even though she had since lost all ability to speak, move, think. She looked at peace, happy.
She was a very generous woman, a teacher at primary and sunday school. She sung in choirs for charity, helped nurse her scarred father who returned from burma after WW2 (one of the bloodiest fronts), and worked so hard throughout her life.
She and her husband saved everything, he was the son of a bricklayer and carpenter, she was raised by her 3 aunties who were butchers. Now my family uses their savings, and my siblings are engineers and doctors.
I am so proud to be decended from her.
I sometimes have this weird idea of "what if I am dy,ing, but this what I am living through is the "living through the memories" a.k.a flashing before your eyes :D
and now I am never sleeping again!
@dtulip1 yeah I am sorry, atleast I didn't tell you about my fear of me being in asylum and my whole reality being in my head and such... When I was younger.
@@JanaSzIsBasicGlitch OMG stop
If that's the case then that's all the more reason to cherish this life. Because that means you will never get to see it again when you do finally come to an end. Enjoy life because if it's all a dying memory then you should appreciate the brain's love for life and the body, it's desperate attempt to save you from death gives you one more chance to live again.
Because if that is the case then this process is borrowed time. It's a whole life in 7 minutes, don't waste those 7 minutes.
I have those thoughts too. Like how you gonna know?
Imagine thousands of millions of memes flashing before your eyes instead of lovely time with your family
💀💀💀
Thats sad and warming at the same time, your brain trying its best for you. Gods truly amazing.
It's heartbreaking and very heartwarming to learn this fact. As a person who......... well, um, don't wanna get into detail about it rn............... I feel this
Well my brain hit my tear gland reflex for some reason 🙂
This makes so much sense. I fell off of a cliff and thought I was going to drop onto the road 70m below. My life flashed before my eyes...as I'd never experienced that before!! I ended up coming to rest on a cliff about 13 feet down that I couldn't see from above. Apparently I screamed, which I don't remember. My rock climbing partner came to get me and I was shaking. But it was also the most serene and peaceful feeling I've ever had, just knowing I was done for and there was literally nothing I could do. Very unusual and I don't necessarily recommend it but I'm happy that my story worked out as it did.
I had an extremely similar experience when I got in a car accident years back. You described it more accurately than anywhere else I’ve read about this. It’s terrifying yet beautiful. I remember crying tears of joy and fear. I didn’t see the accident because my life was playing out before my eyes. So glad you’re okay, that sounds horrific
Death is something I don't want to experience any time soon. But on many darling days, when I wish to welcome death, I think of it as something beautiful. It's not because many often describe it this way, but just imagining myself in that position puts me at peace. This year has been my darkest of years. Constant fear, stress, the wish to give up, to say goodbye. To just off myself. But the thought of death did not have the effect I had expected. No, at that moment I felt my surroundings become quiet. My pounding head became so much clearer. And the weight on my shoulders had been lifted as if nothing had even been there. It was strange. For the whole year, all I felt was heaviness, strain, and ache. But suddenly everything is at peace... with the thought of death? It made me feel like at that moment I could accept it.
However, I still had goals to achieve, a family to look out for, to be next to, and to live my life before taking it away. The weight was back. But that feeling, I still miss it. Perhaps I am getting ahead of myself by saying I think death is something that can be described as peaceful when I have never experienced anything close to it. But it still brings me big closure in life.
I feel bad for my brain- but it's also nice to know I have a buddy that'd do ANYTHING to keep me safe. Going through every single memory in a desperate attempt to keep me alive. Poor brain :/ (P.S. gonna draw this now)
Here's a shocking news, YOU'RE YOUR BRAIN...love yourself
@@simo8431 Lol. Thx. It's oddly comforting to think of my brain as a separate being who cares and protects me tho. Also kinda interesting :)
My bio teacher made our whole class feel a lot better when he detailed how the millions of cells in our immune system are all ready to die and sacrifice themselves for us 🥹
@prettylittlepancake 🥺🥺🥺
My teacher says "If you do stupid shit your brain reacts to it. Treat your brain like a conjoined twin and listen. Its there...learn to listen and use it as an advantage."
This was my bio teacher in ninth grade.
*Brain is so cute and sweet trying to help us to survive 🤧🥺*
This made me tear up..omg 😞
This sounds like the premise for a very long manga
Re:Zero?
@renzoaraujo1793 No manga in particular, just that someone would probably write one based on this, and it would probably be really long lol
oh because a manga called re:zero is basically just that where the main character has a curse to never die and so when he does die he resets at a certain date. his whole thing is using his instincts from what he has learned to defeat people even though he if very weak. he just fights someone, dies, and then goes again but this time he dodges whatever attack that killed him and repeats it until the guy is defeated.
Why's my brain so caring and protective I'm in love omg
EDIT: GUYSSS IT'S A JOKE OKAY I'M NOT REALLY IN LOVE CHILL 😭🙏
Bro
you do know ur brain made u type that
Omg you're so real bruv
Lucky you. Mine tells me how worthless I am 😂
@@BrainrotMemes12345his brain is glazing itself
Why do I want to hug my brain right now 😭
Youre the brain lol
This is a mix of sad and sweet. I can’t explain it
as someone who’s suicidal it’s nice knowing that my brain actually cares if i die
Also "seeing stars" is also a legit thing like straight from a cartoon. I got hit in the nose and legit saw flashes of stars
i get up too fast, i see em. or during a flashback from deployment
do you mean like silver sparkles? I get those too sometimes.
I saw stars also. I was in a basement with a low ceiling, changing a kitty litter box. Stood up to my full 5'4" height & hit my head on a furnace cold air vent. I saw 5 or 6 white stars that moved in a half-circle. Only time that ever happened.
Me too. I start seeing stars around my head sometimes if my head hits something
@@theeternalsuperstar3773yup
this reminds me of "ALONEEE AT THE EDGEEEE OF A UNIVERRRRSEEE HUMMING A TUNEEEEEE" type sh-
After death, your brain spends 8 minutes playing your best memories...
me on my deathbed as my brain spends its last 8 minutes playing memes:
do you see those memories?
@@alivia.adams12what they said is speculating. Not everyone even experiences visual thoughts or has an inner monologue.
Visuals in your mind are more of a spectrum, some people can kindof imagine what the general shape of let’s say an object but not really be able to imagine it in high detail, some can just keep feeding details into the thought and basically “paint” the picture in their mind
I thought it was more random moments throughout life and not just the highlights
I really hope I was part them 😢
I don't know why, but I keep watching this video over and over, it's sad but I want to watch this video again and again 😔
As someone who has fallen from a bridge high above water, then fall and drowned in water, send to hospital, wake a day after, i do remember some of my memories flashes when drowned, its hard to forget, since the backhead and back pain also the pain from drowning is very hurtful, and yes it all because i tripped a bit, truly a wonderful experience
People have other experiences as well, often more profound ones. Such as out of body, or approaching the barrier. We also don't know why this life flashing happens.
I actually knew this one. I knew that it was the brain searching memories to try to find a solution
Honestly, that's beautiful. Our creation is so complex that we have such magnificent build, that every part of our body has a lot to take care of. While we are oblivious to any of it. I never thought about the seeing "your life flash before your eyes" as a defence mechanism against harm. We are truly walking miracles.
really every animal are moving miracles, after all life starting was a miracle
About halfway through I realized what OP was gonna say. Still pretty crushing
Our poor brain...😢 we should be thankful for a parent who is always with us... our brain.. there to help us up. There to protect our body and try to save us even in death..❤❤ Thank you brain. We love you.
Honestly that kind of made me wanna cry a little bit ❤😅
Apparently one of the symptoms for the onset of a severe allergic reaction is "a sense of impending doom". In certain ways, our body is very smart. And then you have the fever response, which will often kill you before whatever infection you have can do it.
Same thing can happen during a heart attack or if you got the incorrect blood type during a transfusion
Well fuck now I'm kinda worried. I feel like death is constantly hovering behind me. I just thought that was anxiety or something
That makes it sound so dark and sad😢😢😢😢
when you even slip and miss one step on the stairs your life flashes before your eyes because you might fall so that's an example of your brain handling danger
That's actually pretty fascinating... I wonder if that happens to people that aren't worried about death and welcome it vs people who are terrified and not ready for it
This just made me even more depressed😭😭
Damn bro there goes my morning mood
That’s hauntingly beautiful
As a person who almost drowned I can know this feeling.
This is awful because this frames it more like a loved one reaching out, doing everything they can to change your fate. Like someone who has spent their whole life helping you realizing there’s nothing left they can do but refusing to believe it.
I started crying 😅 apparently this is rather heartwarming
Kids actually get hurt less by falls than adults. The kids are more upset than hurt, and heal quickly. Adults, unless in good form and have training, are more often likely to not only be injured but crippled. Compare a child trips and falls. Is bruised but 10 minutes later forgot about it and is running around again. An adult trips and falls, now facing hip surgery, and will never run again.
if a person is pronounced medically dead but then gets resuscitated (for example) back to life after like the 15th time the brain would just say “no” 💀
bro this made me smile + cry, this is why i want to become a human physiologist
I feel like the fact isn’t that sad, it’s the person who’s written it that is making it sad.
Why did this actually make me cry?😕
It's essentially trying to read the records in an attempt to stop it, not realizing that nowhere within that database is a single time where this danger has occurred
That phrase now terrifies me more than i could of ever imagined...
Dude I wish my brain did this for my math test
Nah imagine when your brain finally gives up it says I'm so sorry i can't help anymore
Damn... bro just gotta hit me with that at 9:30 pm...
Damn brain u a real one for real
I mean... The thing that made me cry recently was "Disappoint everyone else before you disappoint yourself"
And still good people ruin their bodies with drugs and alcohol... it's just tragic😔
Why did you make me remember the harsh truth about what we all would experience one day 😭
To everyone in the comments who thinks the experience is disturbing
It’s actually not
In fact it’s the most peaceful thing I have ever experienced
It’s an overwhelming yet somehow peaceful experience that is almost euphoric
I have experienced it twice (I have TOPS)
It doesn’t happen when I faint anymore but I really wish it did
I cannot possibly describe that experience in words
Man, didnt know that. Thanks Brian
It makes sense. Imagine your body going through catastrophic system failure and the guy behind the controller not ever have gotten the explanation of what to do, only that if it happens, game over, so he knows he has a finite amount of time to go back through old saves trying to find out what he did wrong, but there are no answers. Only panic and distress.
As someone who has also almost died 4 times to the same thing, it knows how to handle carbon monoxide poison
Let me be the first to ask for an explanation because admittedly, I’m intrigued
I'm curious... how?
This is why it's important to check your home/works detectors every 6 months
Now this is just unfortunate. Is this to do with your occupation?
That almost made me cry 😭😭
Your physical body telling the consciousness "imma fight till the end".....almost similar to what the heart does when you lose your head
I love the fact that the human body houses 2 people pretty much. You and a silent helper.
It’s more like the dark passenger from Dexter. Dexter Morgan has his dark passenger which is his urge to kill. He had this when he was a kid because he saw his mom die with a chainsaw. He was adopted by a police officer named Harry Morgan who nee that Dexter would be a bad person. So Harry taught Dexter the code. The two biggest rules are don’t get caught and only kill bad people. Dexter’s secret couldn’t be shared with anyone, not even his adoptive sister, Debra Morgan. Now Dexter works at Miami Metro PD alongside his sister and others. He’s also the bay harbour butcher but his secret isn’t safe since a big black guy called James Doakes, Sergeant of MMPD, is suspicious of Dexter
Initially one entity but the consciousness is developed through experience and time because if not then the body would have to always be on an instinctive state which would be very depressing and can very much cause death.
straight up a near exact copy of a top comment
@@iloaf2770 this is the og one
This depressed me even more
Another disturbing fact is that saved by the Bell was because people kept on accidentally getting buried alive during the dark ages because so many people were dying that they had to add a bell on a string so the person that was buried alive. Can you ring the bell and someone can dig them out
People often lingered for days with the shovel left nearby to dig them up. Both pragmatic and sentimental.
That saying comes from boxing. The ringing of the bell at the end of a round can save a boxer on the verge of defeat.
The fact is so heartwarming that your body atleast cares about you and does not want to let you go.. ❤
My brain is lowk my day one fam, I fw with u brain🔥🔥
the brain is terrifyingly beautiful
It’s basically me tryna find the answers to my math homework
Lol😂😂
Yeah, as Seaweed brain, of course you struggle with math. Did you forget who your 6th grade algebra teacher was? 💙
When I was a child, almost a toddler, somebody told me - I will not say who - that this was god giving us an opportunity to repent any sins we might have forgotten. It was my first step on the road to atheism.
Maybe you should look out for the other religions and see if any of them makes a really good sense
@@mahimitt Given that the bedrock of any and all religions is the belief on some superstition, not one of them make any sense to me.
I saw a tiktok of a chameleon dying, and it was changing into all the colors 🥺😭 her entire life and index of emotions was also flashing before her eyes 😭😭😭
The feeling is hard to explain. The moment lasts for ages. The amount of thing and emotion you go through is immense. I was not near death fortunately, but my brain believed so.
"Another hand carved the beacon!"- Meridia
erm actually its another hand touches the beacon
@tobiasleckel3870 "Another hand crafts the beacon!"-Steve
My mother almost died and she said that all her memories we flashing like a weird movie in her head
That explains why for people who have been in near death situations it's like a split second of your brain knowing what to do that brings such a heavy relief when you DO live. I've experienced that shock of "i did it" but i never registered it as my BRAIN talking. Every fact about the brain makes me tear up because of how complex it is, brains and computer systems have a special place in my heart.
As someone who nearly died and was very sceptical that this happens, it absolutely happened to me. I've never thought so many things and had a feeling like it when I thought it was all over.
instead of family memories flashing mines just gonna be 12TB worth of memes 😂
As a person who is dead,i can confirm this is true.
