Almost drowned by accident

[Wolf Girl]

Just in a pool. I can't swim and slipped into the deep end and nobody noticed. I didn't inhale water, but as my head kept surfacing briefly to see that no one was noticing then sinking down again, I had several moments of accepting that my bus may be quietly on its way. It was weird. I managed to get to the side to pull myself up and couldn't stop hyperventilating even though I was calm. I didn't feel very much panic during the whole thing, but again, I didn't aspirate any water which I understand is what's quite painful and scary.

Now my mind keeps flashing back to it for some reason. It makes me less afraid of ctb by drowning.

That was brave, I almost drowned twice as a child, never go near water above my waist since.

I'll recommend against drowning. One of the worst deaths.

same thing happens to me whenever i try actually swimming and not just lazily floating in the pool. i almost drowned in a wave pool with 50 people in it and a lady next to me pulled me out of the water. i probably would've drowned if my head kept on bobbing up and down. the most painful part is getting water in your eyes, mouth, and nose. inhaling chlorine water or water in general through your nose burns like craaaaazyy. i still think about dying by drowning since i would pretty much die if i swam in water that's too deep.
