inspired by a tiktok trend recently, just thought it might be an interesting thread. I’m a regular poster not a journalist or anything like that (MNHQ can verify!).
When did your world go quiet? Basically, what was a time you got a fright and time seemed to stop or go quiet?
mine was I was on my horse and he decided to rear up, over concrete ground, and I felt him wobble back. As soon as I felt that first tilt backwards everything sort of went quiet and it was like an out of body experience (not a good one!). I couldn’t hear anyone around. I just remember the last thing I thought was along the lines of this is it im about to die and it was like everything was in slow motion. Luckily it was all ok but that split second was easily the scariest moment of my life and my world completely stopped.
So, when did your world go quiet?
AIBU?

I’ve twice been a passenger in car accidents and they both moved in slow motion.

When I asked the Oncologist how long my DH had left to live… and she couldn’t look at me. I asked again and she said ‘around 4 weeks’
Time stood still and I felt that all the air had left the room.
i was 36 with a young child.
