Moments where you were legit scared for your life?

[HabitualChiller]

This is a looooonnnggg story, but I'll shorten it.

Anywho, got pulled over by cops because a hooker ran to talked to me at a stop sign. They followed me back and pulled me over, found a gaaaannng of texts messages on my phone of me seeing hookers, then detained me.

I was literally in the squad car screaming, "I FÙCKED UP! MY CAREER IS FINISHED! MY LIFE IS OVER! I'M GOING TO END UP POOR LIKE MY PARENTS!" for about 3 minutes. I was kicking the seat and crying and everything.

Only thing I could see was me being arrested, then getting out and working a trash ass job for years while struggling to make ends meet... exactly like my parents. I fell into a depression that lasted for a year, woke up in cold sweats after panic attacks multiple times that year, literally walked for 8 hours for no reason that following day contemplating what method I was going to use to kill myself.

Thank God that it passed over.

Long back story but to make it short….

I ended up on the side of the road after running out of gas. A friend of the guy I was dating pulled up and offered me a ride to the gas station.

He didn’t take me to the gas station.

He drove me to a wooded area and told me to, “Get in the back seat.”

We stared at each other for a while because I wasn’t moving. I was scared as hell though because I really didn’t know what he was capable of.

After a few moments of me not moving he started the truck and drove me back to the car and left me there again stranded. I was actually relieved though.

Every time I get in the car.

Can’t remember a scared moment but definitely times where I knew some things could go left

When a low hanging power line hit the hood of my car when I was driving with a thump. I thought it was a branch until I was hearing this faint humming and hissing. First and only time I ever had a legit life flashed before my eyes moment. I shifted in reverse so fast and hoped I wouldn't get fried in my car as I backed out.

Got tossed into a pool back in 6th grade and I couldn't swim at the time. Sunk to the bottom and just pushed up. I shot to the top like a bullet and came up at the edge. If I had panicked, I would have drowned. I have no idea how I remained so calm.

Eerily enough, my mom had just told me a couple weeks prior that if I was ever in a pool and couldn't swim, to just relax and push up once I hit the bottom. I'd be lying if I said that was actively on my mind at that moment. I don't even believe that I was consciously thinking. I just somehow didn't panic.

i had something similar. at the end of 4th grade there was a big pool party at the house of one of my classmates..i didnt know how to swim then so my mom was like stay in the shallow end of the pool...but my classmate had a wild ass slide that looked like fun and everyone goin down it was having a blast so i got up and went down..a mistake.i hit the water and i can feel myself walking underwater..which is a crazy feeling in itself..i somehow got to the other side of the pool and was trying to grab the edge of it to get out..i couldnt and that oxygen was running low when suddenly a hand reached out pulled me up where i could grab with both hands and pull myself up out the pool...it was a chick from my class..it was so nonchalant..she went about her business and i just laid at the side of the pool trying to catch my breath..i dont think anyone else even noticed i almost drownedlol

When I was molested by 5th Grade Teacher Mr. Delveaux. He had carried a sling blade in his man bag
and made me stay after class for discipline. He told my mama he would drop me off at home and did. But when it was late around about 4-5 ish the only people in the school was the janitors. he just started yelling at me and grabbed me by neck and forced my face into his chest. When I tried to pull away he grabbed the hook knife and held it against my throat and demanded I take my under and jeans off. I was a touched and violated and it was the last day of school before summer break. I never looked at man the same since and I love being abused by burly men especially older black men with hairy chests. Another reason why I don't want kids, you can protect them from assault only can get them justice, but justice doesn't cure PTSD and unlock a fetish in them.

This was one episode in a 24 hour series of fukkery events concerning the guy I was seeing at that time (almost 16 years ago now). I told a few of my close friends what happened but it never went further than that.

When the entire ordeal was over with I never spoke to him or anyone associated with him again. Thankfully, I never saw the friend again after that either.

I have been through a lot of trauma but I can't recall fear like that for myself.....


I've for sure felt fear for others.



We were on the beach one time and my son was small....like 4 or 5 and were playing with the waves...


I barely saw it happen in my peripheral..but next thing I know he gets sucked into a ripcurrent.



He was standing and then the ocean just snatched him up and pull him out at an incredible rate of speed.


My heart dropped and my stomach flipped.


I was probably 20 feet or so away from him.


At that point there was 0 thought and instinct kicked in immediately.

I just darted as fast I could and dove right into the crashing waves.


I couldn't see anything.... couldn't find him....


I'm struggling myself not 2 drown.


It felt like an eternity.


By the grace of god I I felt one of his legs and grabbed it and pulled him into me.



As soon as I had him we surfaced and got beat up by some waves but made it out.


I got him on shore and he spit up a lot of water and started to cry.....I just held him tight and he was ok.

Felt true fear that day.

Nope. Stopped right after I got caught up. I had been trying, but the urges from past trauma kept me running back.

Almost getting hemmed up and falling into a prolonged state where I actually wanted to die turned me off of the whole thing.

I've been learning languages and trying to become a better leader since I have a lot of free time now. Lot more money to save, too

Trip to Haiti with my family, older brother driving up a mountain on a rocky unpaved narrow ass road at night...

...and the truck is a stick-shift, no guards from the edge of the mountain. So you're just bumping around in every direction, slowly passing other vehicles coming down...lane is barely big enough.

Everyone in the vehicle is either looking at the floor, in tears, or visibly praying.

Never again.
