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.

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.

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.
