It's been 7 years and I was in hospital with double pneumonia and endocarditis and acute kidney failure and sepsis. While I was in hospital I got told my son of 18 had committed suicide. So I was in a coma for 2-5weeks still don't know. I kept trying to get something done not sure what it was hellish black and white walking down a street with house s trying to grab me. Nurses taking pictures of me naked on Halloween for Christmas cards. So crazy. But I saw my son with his girlfriend that od. He told me he was very much alive just in spirit. But where he was it was like a rainforest dark wet. But it was nice and chill . I also thought nurses and Drs. We're trying experiments on me There are other things I remember and none of them were pleasant just the part seeing my son.
Medical Induced Coma: It's been 7 years and I was... - ICUsteps
Medical Induced Coma



Such horrible memories from ICU are very common due to combination of severe illness and medication. If they are still bothering you then perhaps you should get some help, there are support group you could attend. There’s information about those on icusteps.org or cc-sn.org. Talking to other patients who’ve had similar experiences can be really helpful.
Hi I also spent 5 weeks in a coma due to double pneumonia and a superbug on top of it I'm still in recovery after a year those dreams or what ever they are can be haunting I also had nursing staff trying to do strange stuff from murder to sexual activity I went to some really strange places including some very realistic situations it's amazing you found peace with your son in that time
I never really thought about that finding peace in such a horrific time in my coma. I even wonder if sometime if I'm still in a coma in the hospital. Just because of the sadness heartache heartbreak and death that has plagued my life. After the death of my wife I lost my best friend and I made friends with my sons best friend just to find him dead a few years ago and then his twin passed away. The list of friends has hit in the 60's. I just don't understand why my life has been such a shit show. I am very kind and treat everyone with respect and treat others as I want to be treated. I'm over it. Just doesn't seem fair. Thank you for responding to my story it's really a tragic story and that's just a small part of it. I struggle everyday to make ends meet all I ever wanted was a home in the country with my family by my side. I haven't had time to grieve for any of the people I lost. Thanks again.
It will be 7 years in January since I came out of my induced coma. And like you I have lost to death so many I loved deeply /cared a lot about/liked. It persists! My life too is a sh*t show, and getting worse every day. I’m not a horrible person but by no means am I the greatest person either. I have my own personal flaws like everyone else has their own personal flaws, though some individuals always in denial of having any.
All I ever wanted was a family of my own and good happy/healthy relationships with all my loved/like/precious ones family and friends wise and a home that was welcoming, warm, that rarely saw sadness and was a happy joyful home filled with good memories, get togethers, laughter, chatter, visitors, happiness and relaxed. It wasn’t to be. Maybe one day, maybe in another life. Still have a glimmer of hope left for this lifetime though it is diminishing and severe depression is setting in deeper. Never have I been truly wanted or loved. That was set in stone in the womb. Often question if I did really ever wake from my coma because life has become so much worse since being placed into it and nothing and nobody has felt/feels right since I was ( if I’m to believe I’m truly not still in my coma) woken abruptly out of mine. Nothing seems real since then, things seem staged, people I know look the same, but don’t behave the same, impostors, glitchy impostors! Even the moon and stars look staged. Everything seems so strange and unreal now. I turn 50 this year and it’s going to be the most sad and extremely difficult very alone lonely forgotten time because of how those I love behave now towards me so unlike they behaved towards me prior to my coma. They look like my loved ones but that’s as far as it goes.
Wow my brother I don't know what to say but I promise you you are loved. I'm sure you have made someone's life better and made there life simpler because of your trials and tribulations. It's unfortunate that you have had to endure such heartache, heartbreak and so much death that your life has been plagued with. And I'm here to tell you that you are not still in a coma. I still do think that I'm still in a coma. But there are small things that have clued me into this knowledge. My life in my coma was so bizarre. You could even say that it was like a bad lsd trip. I know shit sucks and everything is different to you . I have been very lucky and blessed with the friends I've made.. all i can say is hang in there bro things dont get better there just different in a weird wAy.. Just hang in there. You made a new friend. Sammy is my name btw.
just to reiterate many of us hallucinate. It is very real I found talking to others who were in icu helped me a lot. I found I didn’t need medical explanations just reassurance.
