See a therapist!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
What probably happened is they realized that you had too much pain meds in your system, so they gave you an antidote, like Narcan, to get rid of the effect of the meds very quickly!. What that does is basically put you into withdrawals as it immediately removes the effects of the narcotic!. It is very scary, and often painful, for the patient!. You can get over it in time!. You might need to talk to a medical professional about it if you don't lose some of the anxiety over it soon!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
you probably have post-traumatic stress disorder, so it would be a good idea to make an appt with a therapist so you can talk it out!. At the very least, talk about it with someone you trustWww@Answer-Health@Com

I guess you'll need some therapy!. It may be something you just need to talk through with somebody!.
Personally I would try to think consciously about this from another angle!. You're alive!
I can recommend a serious operation then finding that you DO wake up in the ICU, although with a catheter up your peehole and in pain from the surgery, as a method of appreciating life!.
You didn't die!.!.!. you LIVED so look at the trees, walk in the rain, take your dog for a walk (or get a dog) and try and find reasons to be happy, not reasons to be afraid!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

open up and talk about it, i hate the er room, and someone made a mistake on you, you should sue the hospital!. i've had two breakdowns, it took years to get over things!. i am bipolar and have been in counceling for years!. i' finally graduated!. i'm on the right meds and right dosage, and i'm happy!. don't let anyone tell you to shove this down inside of you!. men don' t understand!. you talk about it until it doesn't hurt anymore!. my husband almost killed me and the police threw him out of the house!. i was on valum, i must have taken 10, 10mg pills a day!. i thought that the pills would take away my unhappiness, well i came to the end of the bottle and i couldn't get back to the dr!. i went off of them, cold turkey!. oh my god, never do anything like that!. i spent 6 months in a hospital!. they were so good to me!. i'm alive because there has always been someone with me, but i never knew it!. when you go to bed tonight as god to help you and let go of your fear, you'll see, every day you get through without any fears is a wonderful day!. do you have any animals that you can rumple their fur, it takes away hurt, animals are wonderful!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Relax!. Let go of that experience!. What is so "bad" about death!? It is only really a leaving of one body and a entering into the next, or a eternal sleep, depending on what you believe in!. If you love sleep as much as I do, that'ss no bad thing!. You are just a dust mite in this earth!. You have to realize that!. Now, breath in, breath out!. It was a mistake, It won't happen again!. I've almost drowned four times, up to the point of passing out!. I swim every day!. By trying, you begin, you practice!. Life is not you; you are in life!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
