Ready to Die?..., page 1

A few weeks ago, during an incident I posted here... Thread

And I was prepared to die, I wasn't scared or anxious I simply thought... 'If this is it, this is it'

Now don't get me wrong I don't want to die, I want to live a long life, and I'm slightly miffed at CERN; but there are plenty of other threads for that.

Now I am a Christian but I want to know what other people have thought in a similar situation, people of all religions and ages. I am 16. Oh and I don't mean a situation where you are full of adrenalin because you were almost killed (Such as dodging a car) But a situation where you think you could possibly die in the next few minutes.

I thought I was going to die for a few months. I had turned 30 and just had a new baby, was being tossed out of an apartment that the landlord sold and I was one week into my first semester at college; and yes it wasn't until I turned 29 that I decided to get a degree. In any case, to this day I think it was a combination of stress, anxiety, and being out of shape... over-weight even and a smoker... I would smoke anything, but mostly a pack of chokes a day. But what started to happen was unreal as I woke one evening after losing my breath in my sleep. I thought it was a bad dream until it began to happen every evening. As soon as I would fall asleep, I would stop breathing... jump up and catch my breath. Then I started to get heart palpatations and I was never so frightened. One night, I used the new baby-monitor and put it up to my chest and heard my heart beating out of rythm. At this point, I had diagnosed myself with having heart disease. When I went to the doctor, he did not hear my heart palpatate and told me I was suffering from severe anxiety and put me on medication to calm me down. On my own, I decided to start walking and riding an exercise bike. I quit smoking and decided to eat nothing but healthy foods; and in 4 months, I lost 44 pounds and was feeling great. My heart stopped acting weird and somehow or another, I returned to my normal self. But right before I started to feel normal, I actually was okay with dying as I had many months to prepare for it. At first, I cried many nights and then was angry, but soon thereafter I was okay with it. I am a Christian as well and came to the conclusion that I was a decent man and would most likely make it to Heaven. I thought about how many millions had died before me and that I was not exempt... that my time would come no matter what and that it was only a matter of time. Now, here I am at the age of 40 and in the best shape of my life; and with no medical conditions that I'm aware of. I'm not sure how this can help a heart that was damaged, but I found out later that Jack LaLaine went through the same thing. He had heart disease that went away; and I think we both caught it in time and saved ourselves. How we can heel our bodies is amazing, and how we can destroy our minds' with negative thoughts of dying is also amazing; and there is a book called "Walking Medicine" that proves this is possible... that our bodies can come back from heart disease if caught in time and that you can fix it before the doctor cuts you open.
Life is short and we must enjoy it while we can... don't regret anything and continue to move forward. Try not to wish you would have done something before it's too late... go for it! Funny thing, after all this I took a class called "Death and Dying" at Gwynedd-Mercy College and if there was one thing I took from that class, it would have to be the fact that when we worry about dying... it kills us inside. It can destroy your mind and make you depressed. So I wanted to say to you... thank God you are here with us and try not to worry about death because if you live to be 90, think how many years it will take to get there and then think about worrying about it for that many years. While reading self-help books when I was sick like "Don't sweat the Small stuff," I came across this poem by Mother Goose which I use here as my signature... read it if you have a second... I live by it! Thanks for the thread as I find it interesting and I hope others will respond... and so I'm starring and flagging this thread. I hope you are okay now and live a long, happy life! God Speed!
