In what moment of your life did you experience pure fear?

Mature content warning.

|The scariest thing I have ever experienced, and what I believe is one of if the scariest thing that can be experienced is asphyxiation. Several years ago I attempted to hang myself, and I was suspended for at least a few seconds. I’m not talking fear like a jump scare, or a stressful situation. It’s different than that. It’s pure. And it’s the only thing you can feel. There is no part of your brain regretting your actions, or thinking about your life. There is no part of your brain being logical and trying to find a way out. There is no part of your brain even thinking. Your conscious mind is completely and utterly overtaken by panic and fear and the unconscious will to escape. You flail and scratch and try desperately to get out with about the same level of choice and control as your heart beating. Sorry if I spooked anyone, but yeah, that was by far the scariest moment of my life and definitely what I would call pure fear.|
