[@kayco3185]

I was in a coma for 16 days because of septic pneumonia and I remember my dreams (I don’t know what else to call it) vividly. It was intense and so real that when they woke me up again I was convinced the other coma reality was real and when I came out of the fog completely I mourned that place I was and the people I loved there. It’s weird and hard to explain

speaking of your her friend erica who is traumatized, and i know that feeling. i have bpd and my bf is a narcissist "cant live with that paranoid" is a sick effin way to talk

[@melissamoonchild9216]

I thought so too! like what an awful friend

[@kathleenhall5894]

The Erica story, why tf did her mom not get her in therapy? I feel so bad for her, and for the friend who didn't know how to handle the way she was or how to help her. Poor girl grew up in severe paranoia that impacted her whole life as well as her friendships because her mom couldn't be bothered to put her in therapy after a traumatic event.

[@christracy2144]

I, personally, don't feel sorry for the friend. I feel sorry for Erica. The friend is still talking about her in a dismissive negative way throughout a lot of that story, even though she witnessed an incident herself. I totally agree about the mother getting her into trauma therapy while she was young though. I can only imagine but maybe lack of funds was a factor...maybe. Myself, I would have gone without many essentials to pay to get help for my child but some don't see things that way.

[@shasta.mh31]

We need a compilation of STRICTLY bloopers 😂 might annoy tf outta you at the time but it's epic for us 😂❤ That said, the story about the kidnapping really got to me. I've been followed by a group of men while walking through a Walmart with my then very small daughters (now 9&7). I'm extremely paranoid and their dad gets SO ANNOYED with me about it. And yes he was at the store and saw how terrified I was. NEVER ignore your instincts around the public. Glad that girl (the traumatized one) didn't ignore what she saw ❤

I have no memory whatsoever of those 10 days or so I woke up on April the 14th and the only reason I knew what that was there was a board in front of my bed with a date on it and I retain that information cuz it was my mother's birthday.

My mom died in a hospital with covid in a medically induced coma, so that covid story hits close to home.

Don’t be afraid of “that place” where our consciousness lies. The reason she was distressed was because her consciousness was back to being aware of this small and often times painful experience of being human. The distress was not from where she came back from. It was perceiving oneself as separate from it that hurt like hell. Key words, separate and hurt like hell. Cheers
