Thankyou for this video….it has really helped me. I was in hospital with pneumonia a d sepsis, I had delirium the memories stay ,but you dear folks helped me understand xx
I went through this at 39yrs old after a 12 day stay at an ICU. The best way I can explain it is…..how a psychedelic experience would feel like. It’s the most realistic nightmare that you can think of. The worst part is the post ICU experience. This life, here this one, felt like a new reality. Similar like before but just feels different. Imagine having to assimilate a dream/nightmare as your new, current existing reality……….. yeah it’s that wicked.
thank you for sharing this emotional statement, my father is "recovering" from a brain infarct and bleeding atm and a lot of what you said was important for me/us to hear. I hope you have a long and happy life !
Hey everyone I have decided I am finally ready to talk about what happend to me during my septic shock and coma. I started writing a blog and wanted to invite you all to view it and share and FOLLOW with your stories as well. Deliriumdayz.blogspot.com
I was in StBartholomews in London, UK, to have major open-heart surgery. I had serious delirium and it was terrifying. I caused a lot of damage in the hospital and scared a lot of nurses. It was a living knightmare.
I was in a coma in the icu for weeks and I too had really horrific deliriums. Glad you are alive to share your story and here’s to us never having to go through that again 😊
i spent many days in a coma due to encephalitis all this time i was in Egypt being mummified because before i became ill i had been watching a series on Egypt. But it became total panic when i was buried alive .and no one could tell i was still alive. I was being kept in a coma to stop me fitting I'm fine now but those monsters will always be in my head.
It was the most terrifying experience I have ever lived through, following major stomach surgery it was 2 days after the surgery and i was well on the way to recovery, my family were home in bed,.I made a promise to those beings that I would never tell all that happened that night.The nursing staff changed shift and they sewed replacement stitches to renew the tubes I had tried to rip out in order to free myself from drips and other hospital equipment that had been attached to me, so that I would be able to run down to the street and get help to escape even though i was bleeding profusely. I am due to have knee surgery within the next year and I am very afraid of the post op possibilities.
This is EXACTLY what us ICU patients have had to deal with! It is HORRIBLE!! I accused my assistant Joshua, and my Mother of doing horrible things to me! I tried to hurt my assistant Joshua. I fought him to the point where he had to yell for the nurses to help hold me down! It was HORRIBLE! I thought the nurses were trying to kill me!
My girlfriend is having this problem. It's very strange and it actually began in ICU. She hasn't been in ICU for over a month. Still in the hospital for various issues. But began having delusions and paranoia so bad that is was scary
So sorry you experienced this. Many have. Thankfully in 2024 some hospitals and doctors are trying to find out cause because many with suffer delirium go on to get dementia! Or PTSD. Some say the patient is being sent too deeply in the anaesthesia. Being terrified of drowning or being killed experience often causes patients to have longer hospital stays. Patients need sleep, they need to be taken off so much benzos, they need to have people they know to get them back into reality, and get them out of bed as soon as possible after surgery. They need to see sunlight and get patient back to normal circadian rhythms. The public really doesn't know about PICUS/delirium.
The only therapy is time and human kindness and touch. Reassurance of loved ones. Some elements of the experience may last a lifetime but the person will never admit it.
I understand what you went through. For me it was like if I were in a nightmare and “this life” was my new reality. One that I had to get used to. I’ve been getting better but it took time. Are you back to your “normal” self yet?
Thank you! What happened to you WAS real, just not in regards to scientific inquiry. Mind is body body is mind. I'm crying. There are people fighting for this, believe it. ICU delirium is the new frontier of risk prevention
I have the highest respect for you guys! From Glasgow with love ❤

I would have very much liked to hear more about therapy. What kind of therapist. How often? How long? What‘s the approach?
The only therapy is time and human kindness and touch. Reassurance of loved ones. Some elements of the experience may last a lifetime but the person will never admit it.
I'm struggling. It still feels real. I wake up in a sweat and panic attacks. 3 months home but feels like im still there
