I get regular asthma (I think) attacks which are pretty damned scary.
The first time it happened, I thought I was choking. Since then, I've
learned to ride them out, usually trying to breathe. There was one
time when I felt I had a clear option to die though. I was calm, and
wish I had taken it. Was pretty upset afterwards, at my choice.

Fire is bad shit. My psycho ex had her place burn down. Pretty much
a total loss. The only good thing was she didn't own much.

Before I posted earlier I wrote out thousand-dorw essays describing a few of the more impacting things I've seen. Actually three different ones, each with a little different interpretation of which events, or grouping of events, affected me more. I deleted them, because I think they gave too much detail in some areas. I will try again, later.

I don't even know if I posted about the "hi...you knew my father" email I got, but that old story is beginning to bug me, more than the others.

I wasn't satisfied with my first attempts and I deleted them, but I will try again.

It's just a bunch of dead people, again, anyway.

I got my foot snagged on an obstruction and fell into a channel from a pier once when I was, oh, 5 or 6, I think. This was early spring, so the water in the channel was running pretty rapidly and I was dragged along for a little bit. I couldn't swim and the water was freezing cold. My dad had to dive in and rescue me. Both he and I nearly froze to death afterwards because the water was so cold.

I recall being pretty oblivious to the fact that I could have drowned afterwards, I think. Comes with the territory when you're only 5 years old, I guess.

After the seizure caused by ECT the brain flatlines on the EEG for a few seconds. Guess that's like being brain-dead. I found this out after I had it eight times, the bastards.

Electro-convulsive therapy. Some people know it as shock treatment.

I was really depressed and none of the anti-depressants were working at the time. I agreed to the ECT beacause I hoped it would render me brain-dead for good. I felt I had nothing to lose.
BTW, I am not so glum now.

It was done at a hospital. I spent three months there. I tried to escape once but the cops found me and brought me back.
