EXPERIENCE DESCRIPTION:

I had overdosed on a barbiturate I had three times the lethal limit in my system.  I was lying on the floor passed out when my mom just happened to come home early from work that day and found me.  When the paramedics arrived I was not breathing and my heart had stopped.  While they were resuscitating me I recall clear as if it had happened yesterday sitting up out of my body and looking at a man who was sitting on the chair close to where my body was.  I recall laughing as if I was incredibly happy to see him and I felt like I had known him my entire life.  He was sitting down, he had blondish brown hair and was wearing a white shirt with blue jeans.  He had his face covered so I couldn't see it and he was shaking his head from side to side as if he was disappointed in me.  The next thing I remember was opening my eyes to see the paramedics which were both women and my mom standing over me.  I looked to where the man was sitting and there were no men present.
