This is being written 2 days after it happened. It is hopefully different by the time you read this. I am just letting go of my thoughts now.
Sleeping is awful. I can't find a comfortable way to lie down with my neck, and my teeth starts to hurt every time I have been sleeping for a while. That is because I hit my teeth together on the way down. And when I'm sleeping, the thing around my neck pushes my teeth together. So my sleep is basically waking up every 15 minutes because something is wrong. Unless I'm on pain killers or something. I'm also angry all the time. I don't know why. I can't eat properly, since I can't bite my teeth together without it hurting, and I almost can't open my mouth for the thing around my neck. The skin around my neck is starting to be extremely annoyed because of the thing around it. I can't turn my head around. At all. Which is annoying me very much. Try to walk around with your head just sitting on the same place all the time. You can't. If someone talks to me, I must turn my whole body around to see their faces. I have an incredible headache. My whole body is hurting by the fall. I can't see when I'm pissing, since I can't look down. I can't put my clothes on properly. I can't carry anything around, so I got to have someone to help me with everything. When I'm sitting or standing up, I can't rest my neck, since I can't turn it around or upside down.
I feel an urge for returning to the place where I fell down, for some reason. I want to imagine it actually happening, since I have no idea how it looked like. I also want to know how I slipped. That, for some reason, is very important to me. I don't understand people not taking this seriously. Everyone in real life does, luckily. But the shitposts on Facepunch is just driving me mad. Actually, not really, but then again. 6 meters is a LONG way down. Try to look upwards at your ceiling. There is probably around 2 metres. Now, imagine your ceiling times 3. Then imagine you being tossed down of it, 3 metres of rolling around on hard rocks, hitting every part of your body, gaining speed, then the last 3 metres free fall where you land on your back and you hit the backside of your head, your back is broken, your ass hurts like hell...
Every time someone I know asks me how I'm doing, I just answer that I'm fine. I don't want them worrying about me more than they do already. But as you can read above, I am everything else than fine. I know that I'm extremely lucky to actually being alive, but this is the first time that anything like this has ever happened to me. Having a concussion is the weirdest thing that I have ever experienced. When I got up, I didn't remember anything of anything. It is like a dream. You don't think of your past or your future. You just are in the moment. But with every second, I started remembering things. It went like this:
My teacher kept asking me things. All the time. He asked me things like "Where are we right now?", "What are we doing here?", "Why are we here?", "Are you doing well?". I couldn't answer any of it. Then I began to remember that we were on an island called Bornholm. Now I kept asking them why we were here. What we were doing. They answered, and I didn't understand it. Not at all. I hadn't realised that I had hurt myself. My head could not convert time right.
And my head still can't convert time right. That's why this whole post might be messed up. I have just been writing this in the order my head wants to. Order is something that I can't correctly master yet.
should have just stepped in the fucken mud
The moral of the story is to never avoid gross looking brown stuff.
[QUOTE=CHRHN;32334592]Listen, I don't want to break any records here. I just want to share my experience, and see if anyone can relate.[/QUOTE]
I can relate. I've fallen from very high locations because I was a stupid kid. Falling on my legs from 7 meters wasn't bad because I could break the fall by rolling. Falling on my back from the ten meter tower at a swimming pool wasn't as nice though.
[QUOTE=Recurracy;32338715]I'm so fucking buttfrustrated right now I could shit a worm
Is it really necessary to be an ass in any thread that has death in it? That's not something to make jokes of.
Just wait when the joke's on you.[/QUOTE]
But he's not dead.

Also, I have nothing against him as he was badass enough to survive this whole thing and he has a Mr.Scruff avatar
[QUOTE=GoldenGnome;32338990]should have just stepped in the fucken mud[/QUOTE]
I know. That is another thing. It is strange for me to think, that, if I had just stepped in the mud, my life wouldn't be like this right now. Fuck.

You have my sympathy OP, get well soon.
[QUOTE=Carne;32338317]Stand on a one meter high rock (or something) and do a dive towards the ground. It's not going to be pretty.[/QUOTE]
I sleep on a bunk bed, if you aren't careful on those you could easily kill yourself many ways (It's a rare thing, though, but its possible)
slip on the ladder, fly back, break your head on hardwood ( must be a really hard fall, though )
I also think that I might be a little depressed. I can't do anything. It doesn't matter how many people have symphathy with me, for some reason, it doesn't make me feel better. Nothing makes me feel better. I just want my body and my head to be normal again. And that won't happen before highest 8 days.
That's badass, break your neck and walk away.
[QUOTE=zombini;32339494]That's badass, break your neck and walk away.[/QUOTE]
Thanks. But at the time, I couldn't feel anything because of my head being so messed up by the fall.
For now, all you have to do is wait it out. Impossible task, maybe, but there's just nothing else you can do.
Be glad it's just 8 days you have to waste some way or another instead of the rest of your life.
You're lucky, I had a life threatening once. But I wasn't as lucky, and died.

[QUOTE=Atlascore;32340642]You have no idea how anything works.
When you dive off something like a rock you're using your legs, which makes you hit the ground harder, when you just fall off it's all up to gravity and how much you weigh.[/QUOTE]
I am referring to your post:
[QUOTE=Atlascore;32337659]Falling from 1 meter can kill you?
If you're a baby.[/QUOTE]
[QUOTE=Dark RaveN;32337166]
If you don't survive a 3metre fall, you're either too dumb, were sleeping midair or cannot into jumping.
Just for heads up, 6 metres is about 2 floors at my building, and I've had to jump down once on the asphalt (Fucking sofa went on fire). Had only a strech on a leg.[/QUOTE]
Not only are you probably bullshitting or exaggerating, you also don't know the difference between jumping and falling.

It's fine, the heart attack is gone and I was only dead for 3 minutes.
At work I fell down the steps but it wasn't like your usual roll down the steps ordeal. I missed a step, flipped around and landed on the ground on my back/shoulder. It was about a 7 foot fall and it hurt like HELL. It felt like my arm was on fire afterwards probably from a torn muscle and I had some SERIOUS bruising on my back. Took 1200mg of ibuprofen and toughed it out... fuck. I was working around the press that day though, I can think of worse things to happen.
I think you got me beat though OP. Get well.
I remember falling down the stairs as a kid alot. I would fall backwards and hit the wall with my head. I wonder if something in my head broke, but I didn't notice it yet.

That must have hurt like hell. Is your arm good again?
Hope you recover fine from your fall, I've never fallen more than around 2 1/2 meters free fall unintentionally.
I almost got shot while walking around a neighborhood that seemed nice, not one of those run-down shitholes, and I was walking around and someone started shooting this house that I was about to walk by. Worst injury was when I split the back of my head open on the corner of a wall in my house.
I know the feeling... I was playing minecraft and fell down 6 blocks, lost 1 and a half hearts. Stay strong, and eat loads of porkchops, better in no time!

Avatar fits, I don't know why.
Glad to hear you are ok :smile:
This makes you wonder about the people who weren't as lucky and might of been posting here if they were still alive :(
I remember falling about 3-4 meters into a ditch-like thing and somehow tearing a decent chunk of flesh out of my right leg. I guess that could count as a life threatening experience.
