I was overdosed on dilauded in a hospital, went into respiratory arrest, my o2 was 22%, I was blue and seizing. My ex husband gave me sternum rubs to keep me breathing I remember waking up mad because all I wanted to do was sleep, I didn’t care when he explained that I was dying. An OD can be a very pleasant way to die.

Sorry that happened, it must have been rough. That's what scares me, I had a similar experience (not as extreme) and I was totally fine just drifting away.

I was on Dilaudid for an extended period (about 3 weeks) for a major, MAJOR hospital stay I had. That shit is scary and it actually started giving me nightmares. I could see it being an extremely peaceful way to die and after 3 weeks in the hospital, the willingness to keep fighting becomes harder and harder to find.

I had them pull me off it as soon as I wasn't in near constant pain.
