    I have quite a few times..usually from a fall where i landed just right and it knocked the wind out of me. Also have been sucker punched in the gut before and was gasping for air.

    A few times when I was a kid playing football and landed on the ball.

    You just can't breath it's a bizarre feeling

    i've never owned breath. i don't think anyone does. it comes from trees and other things, mostly living green ones.

    but i know what you mean. as an infant and young child i would often suffer what is called sleep aplexia, at least i think that's what its called, though i can never remember how to spell anything i don't use all the time.
    i would wake up, or was i dreaming it, completely immobilized, not just not breathing, but completely, absolutely completely immobile, 100% catatonic panic.
    it would seem to go on for ever.

    my father did one stupid thing when he was drunk when i was little.
    it so affected all us, including himself, that he, for the most part, avoided imparing his judgment with alcohaul or any other substance for most of the rest of his life.

    the effect on me, was that i have never been able to fully trust, any concept of hierarchy, or indeed, anything human. (nor the imparement of my own judgement)
    undertandably the remainder of my childhood was filled with anxiety, as has been much of my life, as was most of my mother's life since then.
    it is only now, these past three or four years, since if started receiving what i call my pension, that i have been able to feel relaxed, and that only to the degree i can feel confident it will continue.

    i do not understand how anyone, can ever feel secure, in a world or culture or country or place, where their survival depends on their ability to continue earning a monetary income.

    this is why, i don't always "get' some kinds of 'humor' and to me, a 'bad ass' is just an ass.

    this, once.

    i assume it must have happened before that too, since i immediately knew exactly what was going on. but i can't remember it.

    Yes and it causes a sense of panic each time it has happened.

    I do not do well with oxygen using a full mask so that tends to complicate it when I have been in those situations. I can stand the tubing but not a mask.

    Exactly second time you know how to react which is just lie there and wait and don't try to get up.

    ^ well this was during jr high football practice. lying there was not an option, especially once i assured the coaches that it wasn't an asthma attack.
