Strange experience

hello all, I have been very ill all week and I think I nearly died the other day here is what happened to me in a short story format.

the pain became unbearable, at this point I was squeezing my eyes down into my cheekbone, my mouth wide open; and then an image was printed in my brain. It was an image of a white sandy beach, clear blue sky, a bright sun in the central skyline reflecting rays of light on a calm blue sea. The image then manifested itself as reality. I was literally stood on that beach, then I felt something, I felt something pulling me away from my body i tried to resist but was powerless to stop it. It was scary at first but then calming, I became interested in where I was going. I thought I was dying and then it stopped and I regained consciousness.

what do you think it was just a dream? Or a near death experience?

  • Hey, I think you are panicking a bit now. Given that what you experienced sounds quite dramatic that's quite understandable, it's just not a particularly helpful reaction our minds throw in. HIV doesn't give much specific symptoms until really quite late, otherwise it's mainly causing immune problems. So if you have flu symptoms, then you most probably have a flu or another infection, especially if you haven't had contact with body fluids from someone you didn't know or who you know does have have HIV. And why would your neighbour have given you heroine? Assuming you took whatever you got orally, heroine would not do all that much anyway. It's also not something people that know where to get it from would easily give away...

    So when you see a doctor, try to trust them rather than getting more worried if they don't test you for either. Tell them what happened and they will have a good idea what they need to look for.

  • Hello that sounds truly nasty for someone to give you something like that,

    you need to contact someone either your GP or any organisation. But you must contact someone who can help support you.

    you are as you say a vulnerable adult, 

    Do not associate with the people who gave you this,

    Please seek professional help right now, there are help lines to the National autistic society on the main page,

    take care,
