    a very bad panic attack when I was just sitting at home watching tv, was having really bad heart palpitations and vertigo, rang someone when I got concerned, got worse when I was on the phone to them, palpitations started to get so extreme I thought my heart was gona give up, I was blacking out, had to get the person on the phone to ring my parents in the kitchen, somehow I just didn't even feel like I could ring up to the kitchen myself and no way could I move. Parents had to bring me into A & E then which is really not a place to be when you're that stressed.

    When I was 17 I went to Oxegen. The first night there I got absolutely hammered. There was a Dj playing an outdoors gig and being drunk, I thought a mosh pit was a great idea. I'm only 5,4 and somehow ended up being pushed around with all these giant men. I fell on the ground and I remember the feeling of just being trampled. My glasses got thrown off my face and I remember desperately screaming as I tried to push people off me. Thank heavens some chap realised that there was a small girl being crushed and tore them off me.

    For about two hours afterwards I was shaking and yes, there were tears! I even get the creeps thinking about it now. I went to the first aid tent and I had to get a sling and ice pack because my elbow was deeply bruised.

    I will never, EVER go near a mosh pit again. Horrible things :(

    When I was 15 and my mam called me into the room. She had found the porn.

    I was 13 and learning how to swim, the bitch that was teaching us made me go to the deep end of the pool and swim across,
    I knew I couldn't do it but she made me. I panicked in the middle and sank to the bottom, she had to jump in fully clothed to get me out.
    I still cannot swim in the deep end of the pool without panicking. yes I know I am a baby.:o

    i was driving my motorbike up donnybrook road towards the city , doing about 40 mph , ( the limit at the time ) and my front breaks seized up, locked the front up and spat me off across the road into the on coming traffic , as i slid towards the brennans bread truck coming the other direction , i had enough time to look up at the screeching trucks drive who looked horrified :eek:

    i slid under the truck and ended up looking at the front axel , i had slid between the wheels , the driver got out and was whimpering like a little girl , poor ****er thought i was toast , he would not look under his truck so i shouted at him to grab my boots and pull me the **** from under his truck :D

    funny thing was it felt like i had ages to take in the situation as i sild towards the truck but i was only a matter of seconds !!!

    i will never forget his face

    also another close call recently was having 3 heart attacks :eek:
    now that scared the **** out of me no end - remember kids dont smoke !!

    When my town was bombed by the PIRA.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 856 ✭✭✭Karona


    I was after being at the beach on a fine sunny day with some friends, got dropped back into town to collect a few bits and pieces when I realised something was wrong. I started feeling really dizzy and knew I had to get home ASAP. Got the town bus home that luckily dropped me right outside my house, managed to make it inside and lie down. There was no one else in my house as my mam and dad were at a wedding, so I rang my sister to tell her to come over as there was something wrong with me.

    My sister gets to my front door and meets my brother there, they both come running into my room and decide s**t better ring someone. I had started to swell up and had loads of little red bumps all over me, I was getting sick and was blacking out. I thought well this is it. I'm gone.

    My brother had to get me into his jeep and bring me to the hospital thinking I had meningitus or something. Turns out I had a severe allergic reaction to those little insects that are in the sand at the beach.

    Was walking home one night when I was hit by a car and knocked unconscious. Was ~ 4 am and nobody found me. Couldn't walk because I had a bone sticking out of my right leg and couldn't hop because it was icey. Tried to phone for an ambulance but I couldn't for the life of me find my sim card (phone came out of my pocket and it was one of those phones which just obliterates upon impact with the floor with the battery and sim flying all over the shop) so the best bet was to get home as fast as possible. The back of my head was bleeding quite a bit and as I crawled my way home (about a 4 minute walk, 35 minute crawl) using just my hands it kept running into my eyes so I could see fúck all as well. Went home, rang ambulance, ambulance came. Got ~25 stitches in the back of my head and surgery on my leg and also my ankle. Bitches love scars.

    Didn't really think I was going to die though was just pissed off at all the hassle it'd cause with regards to heading into the hospital instead of heading to bed

    You don't need to have a sim card in a phone to make an emergency call :p

    I was on a plane and really bad turbulence didn't think much of it until people around me started panicking/crying effin screaming! All I remember thinking I don't believe it dammit I'm going to die and I never got to say goodbye! I was actually furious angered that I hadn't said goodbye to the people I cared about obviously that didn't happen and it was the panic from everyone else

    A few years back a truck drove straight into my car, my car was dragged along the road for ages, I was pretty sure that was it. I made it out the car with not even a scratch on me though.

    I was in two car crashes where the cars were written off by people crashing into the back of me. I didn't feel like I was going to die though.

    After the 2nd crash my GF at the time said 'do you realise that you threw your arm across me as if to try to protect me the instant we got smashed into'?

    I was like 'nope' but felt quite proud inside.
