I almost died of hypothermia

[@JimineyBob]

This news may come as a surprise for a lot of people that know me. Partly because I haven't shared this story online yet and partly because, if you follow me and Alex Tima, videos have been coming out pretty steadily on his channel. Getting back to work helped me cope. I hope this video helps people who have had similar experiences. Thank you to the people in the parking lot for calling the ambulance, thank you to the EMT guys for helping me, and thank you to my family and friends (you) for giving me something to live for.

This is really incredible. I think you're my hero now. This has inspired me so much. I have severe anxiety and depression, and I'll remember your voice and story in my darkest moments. "We all matter. You matter." The way you told this story was so beautiful and honest, and while I will never understand exactly what you went through, I really felt the emotions you conveyed through this video. Such an example of human resilience. You're really one a million, stronger than most.

Oh my goodness, i am so glad that you are OK. You are strong person my friend!

[@mitchellmorris1213]

Thanks for not dying Bob!

[@leonball5847]

This was a really harrowing video to watch but at the same time I'm really happy that you made it. Even though I've never experienced anything similar, it is both educational and inspirational to hear someone recount what they went through. I'm extremely glad that you're safe, I'm sure everyone is and I wish you a swift recovery.

I am so so grateful you are here and alive. What a scary experience; just listening to you relay your story was difficult. I just want to send you some big warm hugs Jiminey. Proud of you for pushing through and saving yourself. ❤

[@lorahardy8765]

Wow that story is proof that miracles happen must of been hard to share it, but these are the story's that can help us realize how blessed we are.

My across the street neighbor and friend drowned just this past Saturday the 8th in Joe Pool Lake in Grand Prairie, Texas near Estes Cove. He was a very healthy 75 yo but I think the 65’ water drained his batteries really quickly. He dove in with his gf aboard and complained of the cold. Soon, he hollered, “I think I need help!” She turned the boat around to present the ladder at stern, but he was already gone. His body was not recovered until Sunday near noon. They used sonar to find him. I still can’t believe it. Anyway, that’s why I’m here bc I’m investigating. Thank you for your account. I’m glad you made it !!

[@mickey151945]

Wow Thanks for sharing and Jamie thank God he was with you and gave you the strength and guidance to complete your task of getting to shore

[@pinktacoofdoom440]

Thank you for sharing what you experienced and how you kept yourself going with thoughts of your loved ones, this is something that could save a lot more people than you would think, especially those who may not be having a very good year.

[@luislima7345]

I'm glad you are alive. I may sound weird but seeing this video helped me a lot. Being someone who deals with depression, I feel like I would just give up because living wasn't worth all that experience. However, your video reminded me that many people love me and care about me and now I think that I wouldn't just give up. Thank you.

[@JimineyBob]

You matter, you affect other people, and they love you. If you feel like you’re swallowing water and your tired of trying, just know that it is so worth it to keep going. It gets better. ❤️🎄

[@unrealwayx5011]

Wow, I can't even explain how i relate to all your feelings about it, i had a similar experience in summer 3 years ago, was about 150m from shore with huge waves without anything to help me float, luckily a huge surfer dude rushed to Me and we went slowly to shore, this type of life or death situations are horrifying but so quiet, i can remember looking at shore screaming "HELPPPP!!" and no-one would react, waves were so big I couldn't float without wasting energy, but it was a depressing attempt at waving to those people that worked. I don't know this guys name but, he saved my life.

[@lumenjoslin4301]

This is absolutely terrifying. I'm so glad that you're alive and I'm sorry you had to go through this.

[@omshanbhag6632]

This is such a powerful video. Really well composed and I felt a personal connection to your experiences. Thank you for this.

[@dorothygunn7405]

Oh my god, I'm so sorry that happened to you! That's terrifying and I'm glad you're okay and about to talk about your experience so openly. I hope you continue to heal well and work though it

I'm very glad you're okay, this sounds incredibly scary to be in that situation

[@adamlarson9692]

Well done. Thanks for sticking around.

[@samuelrobinson5754]

I heard the story but didn't realize how serious it was. Happy your alive. hehe I could say I learned a bit :)

[@The_Snap_Man]

You’re blessed my friend! Happy to still have you here bud!

[@jc7376]

I have experienced extreme dehydration and heatstroke. Dehydration is a very painful thing to experience. I never had hypothermia even though I've lived in some very cold places. I'm glad you made it and could share this story so I could learn the other side. Take care sir

[@jordandunk12]

Glad to still have you here man, crazy to think about how fast this can happen and how quick you can lose someone you know.

[@JimineyBob]

Yes sir. Life is so precious and I didn’t fully understand that before this experience. I still don’t but I’m working on it. Good to see you on KZbin my friend, always a pleasure to hear from one of the funniest guys from school. I still remember your “cool transition” bit from elementary school. And your super hot chilli snacks you had in your room when we were like 12 lmao. Peace and wellbeing my dude.

[@hamptoncomics]

Merry Christmas

[@mariebarclay5006]

Oh Jamie, hearing the story with such detail was so very emotional for one of those people you talked of loving you so much! I thank God many times over for giving you the will to survive.Thank you so much for sharing your story to remind all of us how fragile life can be!! Much love to you my JimineyBob.

[@marcellosoviero4433]
