Near Death Experience (I was actually dead though)

[Imreallyconfused]

I don't know this for sure, but can having a near death experience trigger GID? I was just writing in my blog and when I wrote about my accident when I was 6, which is also around the time I started to feel this way. Could my experience have reset me mentally to think and feel different? My memory of the event is non existent, but I can remember what everyone else said about what happened and that's how I put my story together. When I think of that event, my brain splits in two and I feel like passing out. From what I was told, I was clinically dead for half an hour.

I don't think it works that way

But I have no reason to think otherwise too.

I guess part of me is still trying to rationalize what's going on. One thing I do know is that after that experience I didn't do anything crazy for a long time.

Probably no way to know, but I'd wager most of us here have not had that experience, yet we don't  feel like the gender we were born into, either.

Well all I know from that experience is that being dead is not like they say. You don't see the light or anything like that. More or less I thought it was an endless dream that I didn't even know I was in. Time didn't exist and if I knew what eternity was I'd be able to tell you.

Most likely the two don't have a correlation, but it seemed quite weird that I had my first feelings and thoughts while I was in the hospital.

Not something I know much about either, though I think most people come to various realisations when they feel stressed.

Though trying to make sense of it all, I and I'm sure most will understand that so well.

But as each new idea emerges, there will be someone here ready to chat about it, because, one way or another, one of us has been through it.

A number of people who experience "near death" conditions wake up with complete change personalities or points of views.

So, yeah, in my highly educated and scientific opinion -you see I am a "book worm"- yes, it is a possibility that you GID could be neuro-anatomically derived from your near-death experience.

You are the perfect candidate for some "regressive hypnoses"

Melly,

What a great concept I hadn't thought of & Dr. Pecky's info has awoken me to this possibility! At 4 to 5 years old due to childhood illnesses, I wasn't clinically dead like you but on the doorstep. About three years later my family had me dressed in a girls dress for a vacation masquerade, a second time about age 10 I was in my Moms room with her sister, they were in nightwear talking & their lingerie was on chairs in the room, so I put on my Aunt's bra, I never forgot that exciting feeling. At 12 I began to explore cross dressing through my teen years. We are always searching to when this started & answers to why. This may have gotten me back to my earliest roots as to why I see myself as transgendered. I have had a friend mention hypnosis to see if I had a previous life, but I am not interested in hypnosis.

Cheers

Sounds like something I can ask my therapist once I see him. I don't know if I will be able to remember though. In my blog I stated that most of what I was telling, if not all of it, was from information relayed to me about the event that happened. I honestly don't remember at all. It was so bad that apparently I didn't even remember who I was for a while. If hypnoses can find my trigger and see what else happened that I don't remember or that wasn't told to me that would be really nice. If nothing comes from it, I guess it will be a mystery for the rest of my life.
