so ive seen multiple videos of people taking SN, i know i will have massive gastrointestinal discomfort and probably heavy breathing/panic. but i'm wondering, once they are at the point of foaming at the mouth/convulsing, are they conscious? if anyone has medical experience or knows. i've had seizures and i didnt remember, and i'm hoping the hypoxia will make me either euphoric or neutral to any suffering my body is having.

i know all death is painful, i know mine will be, i will also be on a lot of benzos and quetiapine, im just wondering from a medical perspective when i will begin to dissociate/be unresponsive. it's so unclear in the videos. it seems they panic and puke for around 5-10min and then flop down and convulse. i'm wondering if these people are conscious after that time..?

i read some accounts of SN survivors saying they felt calm despite their symptoms, but the videos seem different. i know it also differs for everyone. im just posting threads because i'm obsessing over my own death... but if anyone has any anecdotes or advice please feel free to reply

I had one nearly pre-death experience once when I was choking (completely unable to breath) with water for like 15-20 seconds.

I remember after the first few seconds of absurd panic, I suddenly started feel calm, idk why, maybe it can be some defense mechanism of the human body to handle these situations? After 15s without breathing my brain entered in a calm state and I could even hear my own thoughts.

My thought was "so this is it?! this is how I'll die?! this is the big moment?!", I think I started dissociating from my body, I was feeling like in a third person perspective despite being able to see with my eyes.

I think this must have something to do with those people explaining they were also calm during the pre-death experience.

i see, in the videos after initial heaving/vomiting and when the users of the SN are dying, they thrash around and their eyes are wide open, it looks chaotic and scary. but i'm guessing, inside the mind, it's more like what you said?

Do you know what cause you choke on the water? I have had Incidents where something I was drinking when down the trachyea but it usually results on a coffing fit that lasts for a min or 2.

probably like you said, the water i was drinking went down the trachyea i was really thirsty and i only had tapwater which i assume in the country i live in isnt that clean but i was thirsty as hell and i drank a lot of it in a rush and it made me choke and not be able to breathe, i was home alone and i thought i was going to die, like 4 secs before it cleared out i was kinda happy to be honest but yeah like i said sadly it cleared out and i was able to breathe then i called my mom explaining what happend, it was a bit funny that i almost died choking on tap water lol, it was a bit traumatizing but eh, it happend in 2024 i think.

I assume my mind understood there was no escape at that point and fighting would be useless.

Also I'm a very pessimistic person, I think this helped my mind get to the conclusion that there was no escape from that given situation, and just accepted my fate.

This probably triggered something in my brain that produced one of these neurotransmitter that gives you a feeling of anesthesia and calms you.

But turns out I stopped choking and my breathing slowly came back.

ah this is helpful-- i've almost died/been hospitalized for serious reasons before and felt calm even when serious things happened. like fell off a cliff/mutilated myself but i dunno if the doctors gave me something. this is reassuring then, plus i have dopamine blockers and benzos... i just hope that when i'm horribly dying i'll atleast be like "ah well what can i do"... lol

Were you able to cough or was it full on choking?
