Breaking your neck itself isn't necessarily fatal. What kills you is if the fracture also severes your spinal cord. If the sever is at your neck level, your brain can't get the signal to your lungs to draw in breath and you suffocate. It's often portrayed as an instantaneous death, but it isn't, it's just that, with your spinal cord severed so high, you can't speak or move any part of your body.
Broke my neck in a car accident. Not as deadly as advertised, apparently ;) I was lucky though - vertical break, so the muscles let the vertebra together. If it had been a horizontal break the spinal cord would have gone as well. And my life, I'm guessing.
I broke two vertebrae in my neck and spine. It's pretty fun to bring up now, but it was 6 months of rehab to relearn how to live and living with a neck brace is not fun lol
@@NAT-turners-Revenge Yup. Had a bad and traumatic breakup 17 years ago. Moved on, then earlier this year it got triggered. By a song! Legit PTSD. Felt like I was reliving it again, not just remembering. I cried for like 6 weeks straight, wake up crying, etc. Only got better because I wrote a letter to a friend about it and that helped. I'm still trying to overcome that PTSD, so now it feels like I've had to overcome this breakup twice, when the first time was already the hardest thing I ever had to go through (even had a suspected heart attack).
“There’s no medication, no pill, no Tylenol for this pain” facts. Just waiting for time to do it’s magic, and I think that’s why heartbreak was the greatest pain I’ve ever endured.
@@carbondated21 God bless man I hope you’re okay. Would love to hear more if you want to share. My dad has been shot, but as a veteran of war. I’ve never been shot, but I’ve been stabbed. I got cut when I was 14. Knife right across my hands and forearm. 9 stitches, which doesn’t sound like much, but there was a ton of blood. My friends and I got jumped by what turned out to be a gang in a parking lot. We had just seen Freddy vs. Jason. Made the mistake of going to a rough area, at night…we were minding our own business, saying goodbye to each other before going home. About 7-8 kids walked up to us. One tapped my friend on the shoulder. As my friend turned his head to face the guy-WHAM. It sounded like someone broke a lightbulb in a paper bag. Fist full of rings/brass knuckles right against the bridge of his nose. Broke his nose, cheekbone and orbital bone. He was on the ground in a pool of blood getting stomped before we could process what happened. He later told us he thought they were going to ask him for directions…a bunch of guys, wearing the same colors, in a parking lot, in the middle of the night... One of my other friends just ran immediately. I and my biggest buddy-our only hope-fought back and as you’d expect, 3 against 7-8, didn’t work out well. Last thing I remember was something sharp getting waved at me, and I instinctively put my hands out to defend myself and got cut up. My other buddy, who’s about 6’5”, 300, fought pretty valiantly but ended up getting his head split by a boot. I still feel lucky we survived. My friend who ran made it to a gas station, called the cops and probably saving at least one of our lives. The gang didn’t get caught that night, but a few weeks later, a bunch of kids got arrested in that area for armed robbery, and it sounded like it was the same group.
That girl who found her mom dead - I wish I could give her a hug that's so... like I used to have nightmares of that as a kid and she lived it. I hope she is slowly healing to the extent that you can after that.
My mother also died when I was just 9 but the most painful thing was after her death her brother took me to his house basically he adopted me because my father wasn't that rich,I lived in my cousins room they decided to paint something and hang the painting in their room.I asked I also want to draw and hang my painting they refused so I started crying,suddenly my uncle came from office and he asked what happen.when he left , my aunt in front of her daughters said"She has been sitting in the room with AC for the whole day and now she is crying to seek attention"it hurts even now.I talk to her she brings gifts for me but I can't forget that and I have realized how evil she is.
Me too. My nightmares about losing my mother started when I watched a documentary about the Yorkshire Ripper at a very young age. Completely inappropriate to be honest. Every time my mother went out with friends in the evening, I'd have nightmares she was getting murdered.
The most painful thing I’ve ever experienced was getting raped by my first boyfriend. He then bragged about it around town. It was so mentally and physically painful words can’t describe. I pray this world changes. He is still out there free. :(
I really liked how they added the last one about the lady saying her getting the tattoo was the most painful, it was a nice touch to end the video with humour for such a sad video.
I’ve had a lot of physical pain, including birthing 3 children, and I can 100% say that losing my dog and miscarrying 7 times hurt more than any of that.
Same😔 it never truly fades, infinite anxiety, always a hole in your heart. You can get better, and do better but the pain never truly gets better it just gets easier to deal with😔
As someone who found her lifeless mother as well, I really feel for that girl. I was only 10 years old, that’s something no kid should never have to witness. That being said, the worst pain I’ve ever experienced was definitely getting my heart broken. I probably sound insane, but my mothers death was actually easier to understand. She had been sick and in & out of the hospital basically my whole life, I knew she was finally pain free. ❤️
I was very confused that not a single person said 'being cheated on' to be fair I have been incredibly lucky so far, but still all the pain in my life added together doesn't add up to the pain of being cheated on. Breaking a bone or something is explainable, but when the person who tells you "I've never loved anyone as much as you , I've never trusted anyone but you l, I want to marry you" and then cheats on you and lies afterwards to still meet the other person. That's super painful it just doesn't make sense
Omg for real tho. I was talking to my friends one day bout my great grandfather passing and I started to chuckle, and they went like,” why are you laughing it’s not funny”, and they didn’t believe me when I said I was just trying to not think about it...
Yeah I laugh when I'm uncomfortable or in pain. This is because when I was younger it was physically impossible for me to cry as my tear ducts were too small so until I was about 11 years old I expressed pain, nervousness, etc., through laughing. Now I can cry as I had surgery but I still laugh or do both most the time
Yeah I wondered about this too. I broke my arm when I was 10 and didn't complain. Mom saw me having problems when I was visiting her a month later and she took me to the ER. Doctor rebroke my arm without any sort of pain medication, not even an aspirin. Physical pain is not a big problem for me. My most painful experience is my dead father's last words to me, "I hate you! I hope you [cease to exist - youtube wont let me write the word]"
the girl crying about her mom dying killed me, I genuinely cried so much. loosing my mom Is my biggest fear and I know will break me the most of anything ive ever or will ever go through shes my best friend and my soul.
The guy at 5:41 really hit a core memory filled with hate, depression, and pains. Trying to fit in, while mostly everyone around you is talking behind your back or bullying you even though they’re your “friends”. Ive def been healing on my side for years, but still those comments, being ditched, and whatever else will always live in my head, my high school years was p much wasted Bc of be being depressed and angry everyday. Id bottle up my emotions daily, I’d wake up late for school, get thru it tired asf, then go to my after school sport (did all three seasons so it took a toll), and on top of that I was trying to fit in with a crowd after school/sports but that never really worked out. I know there’s people out there goin thru worse, but I feel like I really burned myself out after my senior year. Did 2 semesters of community college but then covid hit. Got me super depressed again. And now we are in 2022, things def are getting a little better, but am still fighting through it daily. Whoever else is out there struggling, I feel you and hopefully you feel me too. I’m praying for everyone in the entire universe to just be a little nicer to each other, we’ve all been goin through a tough time, and sometimes you just don’t know what another person is going through.
I've always found emotional pain worse because there are ways to end or minimize physical pain like how that one woman said, but emotional pain is in your head and you can't escape. It doesn't end or just go away, its always there somewhere in the back of your mind and the tiniest or weirdest things can suddenly make it come back. I would compare it to slipping in the ocean because the waves keep tossing you around and slamming you into the sand and it feels impossible to get out of.
It really gets better, i remember being depressed asl and this really changed my life it talks about mental health and it really makes u understand why u sad n things like that ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-B2HlCNfTTf8.html
Losing my sister. When she didn't pick up her phone, I knew it had to be bad. She always answered her phone. 7 hours later, I got the worst call of my life.
I love how this is edited, its interesting to see the contrast between peoples stories and experiences - it really shows no matter who you are, where you are, or anything there is always someone who has went through the same thing and it gives u a sense of comfort knowing ur not alone
I lost my mom, too. It's the worst pain I have ever felt, and I have to feel it, and look at it in the face for the next 50 years. I have no idea how I'm going to do it. I wish I could give that girl a hug, and talk to her.
@@rxsenbrotherhd1164 I didn't even saw your comment...and I can't find it scrolling down the comments. And also, you don't have to be really creative to create this comment, I won't be surprised if turns out there are also 1-3 comments like this one. Anyways, I'm sorry for thinking the same with you.
The last one was a nice mood lift. I was balling my eyes out and then the last one came and i started laughing so hard because i would probably say the same 😂
Nah... It only feels like that. Physical pain never comes alone, it brings emotional pain with it. I'm not talking about things like a minor sprain or paper cut but things like breaking bones, compressing your spinal cord, organ damage... Those things aren't just physical pain. They bring much anxiety, helplessness and sadness....
When I read the title the first and only thing that came to my mind was losing my sister. It’s a pain that destroys every part of you. An anchor that is weighing down your heart at all times. Hearing people talk about their loved ones and saying that they never recover from it and that it never gets easier actually brings me comfort because sometimes I feel weak for not being able to move on and always being depressed so it’s nice to hear that I’m not alone.
I want to be her friend. Thing is after a while it seems as though people attack the visual or the essence of what we project goodness. Its the opposite kind of folks who redjext us. Who is she i would delight in a friendship, someone to reflect with, someone to talk too. Dealing with personal recent events it cool to have someone to relate to
It really isnt that bad. My mom's friend (back in the day) was shot during a crossfire that was the beginning of a chain of events that led to a coup of the country's government. He was able to hide the shot and he wasn't in as much pain as you would think. Its a whole crazy crazy CRAZY story but the coup im talking about in specific is Jamaat al Muslimeen coup attempt in 1990. Of course needless to say (since it was a coup) they actually overthrew the government temporarily and it caused nationwide looting and millions of dollars in damage. Also for extra context my mom worked as a journalist.
my most painful experience is probably going through cancer. i was 3 or 4 and i had leukemia for 2 years. now i’m almost 15 and i have a big scar on the left side of my chest but other than that, no one would be able to tell i had cancer. and i’m totally ok now, but it was a really painful experience.
Most painful experience was losing my mom to suicide at 12 years old, she tried so hard to keep going, I don’t blame her. But nothing can ever cure that pain.
I’m so sorry, I know words can’t cure the pain but I really hope you’re doing better. Your mum is looking at you from up there and she is so so proud! Love you
Bro at 4:48. I'd give you the biggest hug if I could, man. I lost my dad three years ago and it has fucked my life up. You're not alone. I laugh when I am uncomfortable/emotional too.
@@samariah314 He isn't. He may have quoted it, but the original quote goes back to the 1800s. "Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a hard battle." Was thought to be a Plato quote, but it's now thought to have been from Ian Maclaren. This version of the quote though, was from Brad Meltzer. Not sure how or why RW got thrown into the mix.
My heart goes out to the woman who lost her sister and watched her parents go through it all. I lost my brother in November, and it has been unfathomable. Grieving yourself, the person who was supposed to be with you for life and then also watching your parents lose their child. It's hell. Sibling loss is so rarely spoken about or acknowledged. Becoming an only child suddenly is agonizing.
I lost one of my brothers in November of 2017. I grew up being 1 of 4, and then suddenly being 1 of 3 was, and still is, an incredibly painful transition. I know how hard it is to feel that pain yourself and to watch your parents go through it too. I'm so sorry that us and so many others know that feeling. Sending so much love your way. I know that perhaps hearing that from a stranger in a RU-vid comment section might be odd, but I hope it lets you know that even though there might not be people in your immediate and physical corner who understand what you're going through, there are other people in this world who do. you're not alone and your loss is acknowledged
I'm sorry I just saw these responses! Thank you guys, from the bottom of my heart and I hate that you've experienced this same loss. Sending you all so much love ❤️
I created this beautiful piece of artistry that showcase the dance between love and sadness, embrace and depression. Please let me know what you think of it. It really comes fromt he heart: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nSC4ptU79-8.html
i hate the editing in this cuz it’s impossible to focus on 1 story, like someone says “there was a drunk driver” and then it goes to someone else, and when it goes back to them i always forget what their story was
People reaction : - physical pain : laugh, joking around while explain it. - mentally/emotional pain : stiff face, cry, fake smile, teary eyes. We all can see the different.
physically: chronic migraine and debilitating joint pain emotionally: deaths in my family and just deep, absolute loneliness. that shit messes a person up in ways i wouldn't wish on anyone.
Damn the people talking about losing a loved one really got to me. I lost my mom this year. Nothing is more painful than losing the person you love the most.
Once more, Oscar worthy editing. From collecting all the same little reaction sounds, weaving a story out of a dozen car crashes to giving the heavy stuff space to breathe but end on a light note. Top notch.
@@jygllic5197 Of course "oscar worthy" was hyperbole but as someone with a diploma in digital movie making and working in that business for 16 years, no, not anybody can or is willing to do this good of a job.
@@jygllic5197 Ah, just looked at your comments on this channel and it seems that you only watch these to leave nasty comments everywhere. What are you doing with your life? 😅
This shows that everybody on this planet has some kind of pain...so when you are in pain don't lose hope there are many people out their struggling with different pains
Grief is the worst pain, talking about the loss of loved ones can bring tears to ones eyes & heavy breathing that’s how painful that is and that feeling never goes away.
@@boreal8631 I am so so sorry for your loss... You may never feel exactly the same, but there is beauty in that. It shows your connection to eachother was strong and beautiful.
I think taking that to another level, one of the worst pains is grief for someone still alive. People who’ve had abusive relationships or loved ones with dementia know what I mean, there’s something about watching someone fade out of who they were or should be is a pain so complicated most don’t even know how to put it into words.
Meh, I was raped, my rapist shot himself in the head right in front of me, and I had surgery for appendicitis, a tubo ovarian abscess, something with my bowels, and I had a tear in my intestine. I also lost my Grandpa to COVID, my aunt to cancer, my best friend to suicide, another friend to cancer, my ex to laced drugs (and more). The rape and surgery caused PTSD so I definitely think it was worse (for me at least).
We lost our twins right after they were born in 2018, so we never really got to know them. They would be 4.5yo now and I really wonder what they would be like today. It's so awkward to visit their grave if our youngest son (2yo) because we don't think he'd be born if the twins would have made it and I'm feeling so guilty about that thought. I know it's not logical but trauma rarely is

I would say things get better in that the thought crosses your mind less. You're not triggered into tears talking about it anymore (although they always come with the right reminder).
Lost my brother 18 yrs ago. You just get used to not seeing that person... Doesn't stop hurting though and it hurts the most when you realize that after so many years you start to forget things about them.
All 4 of my gparents passed away and Ive alwayd heard that phrase "it gets easier as time goes on".... It never gets easier, you just learn to deal with it 🥺🥺😭
I love these videos cause the cuts are so short bit somehow it doesnt seem rushed at all, and for my fellow peeps with adhd/short attention span it’s really easy to keep watching without getting bored/losing focus :)
mine is my boyfriend’s passing in 2019. i would never wish that kind of pain on anyone. still feels like yesterday. anyone dealing with addiction PLEASE get help. you are not alone and you are loved
@@bjornhaforsson2108 it’s such a shitty thing. you see it happen but it’s something you never expect to happen to you. especially the people who never deserve to go out the way they do. my love and prayers going your way always! i’m so sorry you can relate to this.💔
@@peytonholloway true, it's so different from watching it on TV than actually hearing it from your own. I'm sorry for you too sis, I love you so so much. ❤❤❤
Mine passed in 2016. Same thing. Shit hurts so much. I’m in a happy relationship now. We have a house. I know I’ll marry this man some day but that shit still hurts. I still cry all the time. No one deserves this kind of pain. I was far too young to know how to deal. Get counseling if you’re able 💕 sending hugs and love.
@@feidigonzalez2720 So happy on your behalfs. If that is the man you love, stick to him. You are worthy of everything in the world Feidi. Love ya gurlie 🥰❤❤
This is so sad to see how many car accidents there are. I'm thankful that the ones who survived are safe. As for the ones that passed and are living permanently with disabilities/injuries, my heart & prayers go out for them.
Mine was sexual harassment (carried on for months), and the depression that broke me afterwards (I was a kid no older that 10 and I'm 15 now and it still kills me)
Girl i feel you! I have gone through the same situation! But know idc anymore! I learnt to do things that make me happy! There are hundreds of reasons to be happy! Depression sucks! Fuck it gurl! We don't care! We are strong and brave asf! And the thing that helped me the most is self love! Love yourself and smile like a sunshine❤️ You are so fucking beautiful queen❤️
You can see the difference in emotion between ppl who talked about physical vs emotional pain. That lady got it right when she said that there isn't any Tylenol you can take for heartbreak.
I was raped and people believing him when he said that I wanted it because - at the time - i was too shy, afraid, and felt too threatened to say anything hurt worse than the actual rape.
Physically: Being stabbed Mentally: Never seeing my dead sister, barely met my uncle who committed suic!de, losing my friend, a breakup. It's so sad what people go through
omg I had the feeling that I had read my own story. that's crazy, really. I've never seen my dead brother too, my aunt was buried on my birthday and I also lost my best friend, he was hit by a car. well, of course a breakup too. you're not alone🤍
Seeing a loved one dead can be traumatizing though, I've had nightmares since I saw my best friend this way. At least you can remember them alive, with sparkling eyes and colorful skin. However, I can understand the need to see them one last time, so it probably doesn't help much telling you that
Losing my mom 2 years ago to a brain tumor☹️ she was my best friend. And losing my first love a month ago (breakup hes alive lol) . Heartbreak is such a horrible pain and both have broken my heart in different ways. Love to all of you, whatever you may be going through♥️
@sienna Codsmit his most painful moment was physical pain where he somehow sanded his fingernails off. I don't know, he didn't elaborate. But it sounds super painful.
@sienna Codsmit as in sandpaper or machine typically used for wood to get rid of splinters or rough spots. he probably got his fingers too close to the machine (that runs super quickly) and it ‘sanded’ his fingernails off
I really appreciate those people sharing that the most painful thing they’ve ever been through is losing their parents. My mom was literally my everything and I lost her at 17 and I’m 21 and to this day it doesn’t feel real. It literally has broken me in so many different ways. I hate that’s it like this, but I’m happy to know I’m not alone.
I lost my mom almost a year ago, and the pain.... I equate it to opioid withdrawal's that never end. Atleast with regular withdrawals the end is in sight. You know in x amount of days you'll quit puking, x amount of days you'll be able to stomach food, ect. Or if it's too bad you can make it all go away by getting high. This.... There's nothing that takes the pain away. My mom was my best friend. Aside from my kids, she's the person I loved most in this world, even more than my husband. I let some stupid stuff get in between us the last month she was alive, and I'd do ANYTHING to be able to take it back. I've never been a petty person, And the first time in my life that I was, I let it take the last few weeks I could have had. She died suddenly, and I am so grateful that lockdown had just ended, because I was able to spend the last few days in the ICU with her. She was in a coma, but woke up briefly and I was there. I honestly don't think I'd have made it if I had to tell her goodbye over FaceTime like a lot of people have had to in the last year. All of this to say, you're not alone. I don't know the answers,. But I try to tell myself that my mom wouldn't want me to be sad. It rarely works though.
My mom died in January from Covid. We weren’t able to be there and I still sometimes think she’s going to come home still. It’s life altering. Sending hugs to all of you that have also lost parents 💜
@@becky3698 that feeling of you thinking their coming home was horrible. I had to leave her in the hospital after she passed and going home not really realizing I was never going to go anywhere with her ever again really fucked me. Stay strong.. it never gets easier, we just learn to deal with it better 💚
My brother passed away at 23 and he was the first dead body I have ever seen. We visited him at the mortuary and he was on a metal table with just a white blanket over him and I remember my little brother who was only 5 at the time saying "I wish he would open his eyes and talk to me!" with an excited voice, because he had no idea what was really going on. That will never not break my heart whenever I think about it
What’s great is when doctors scan you head to toe and say, “I don’t see anything.” Man, when I finally got a diagnosis after a YEAR, I bawled. It was maddening, but such a relief to finally have someone acknowledge I wasn’t crazy.
I was in chronic pain for a lomg time before doctors finally diagnosed me with a genetic connective disorder, called Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome. Check out the symptoms because it is definitely not this really rare illness like doctors want to say. If you thing the symptoms sound familiar, see a geneticist.
I’ve has chronic pain in just about every joint and my entire back for over 2 years and still going. Keep in mind I just turned 18. Finally last week got to a doctor that told me what was wrong
The most painful thing I’ve experienced is time. Day by day, it takes things away from you, like friends, siblings, peace and the things in your life you thought were constant. And once they’re gone, you can try to reach, but you will never grab hold.
Seeing people you love in pain. Physical or emotional. I’ve gone through a lot of struggles with both - but none hurt me more than seeing someone I love going through pain.
recently i have these phases where i go through so many cut videos. i think it’s because its make me feel connected to all those human beings, wether i can relate to one’s pain, or their pain help me relativize mine. i feel quite alone these days, and i’ve been trying to get past my first heartbreak since months. hearing all these people and their stories, i realise i’m just 18. i just need to let time do its job, i can’t fasten recovery. thanks to this channel for providing me this human connection, through the videos and the comments, it’s such a sharing space based on universality and empathy not matter the level of your experiences - good and bad. (i hope i’ll find this comment in a few months and could look at those heavy emotions with lightness :) )
the most painful thing i’ve ever experienced was finding out that the guy i was in love with got into a motorcycle accident and died. he actually called me the night before and i didn’t even answer :/ and he didn’t even know that i was in love with him.. it’s so true that it doesn’t get easier
Dude… my boyfriend was murdered back in March and we weren’t on talking terms.. I told him to leave me alone because I felt like i was holding him hostage. He died not knowing wether I loved him or not… i loved him so much ..I can feel your pain love
When the girl mentioned finding her mother, that got me deep. I went through something similar on my 26th birthday, my mother had recently been for a knee surgery a few weeks prior and was resting up, she woke up and it was just me and her in the house, she came to wish me a happy birthday and went to the bathroom, on exiting the bathroom I heard a thud outside my bedroom door, I opened it up to find her on the floor as my father came home as well, by the time the paramedics arrived to get her onto a stretcher I knew she went in the instant moment she was moved, turned out she had an enlarged heart and blood clots, I'm going to be 30 this year and it still hits me hard.
Car crashes really are the worst. Like even if u weren’t drunk and had an accident and u killed someone in the crash. Both sides will feel pain forever. The dead person’s family will mourn for their loss forever . And the person who was responsible will ALWAYS feel guilty even if it was by mistake. I hope no one goes through things like that ever😢
@@Banggeek "most americans" what? you're saying it as though we LIKE when people drunk drive, tf? not our fault some idiots do this shit. and it isn't "most" americans lmao
I’ve already lost my dad while not prepared at all. He died from drugs and alcohol 😰it was painful to say the least. It will be awful when I lose my mom though,yes☮️💜
