Whelp close calls be close calls....
The other day my mom took a shower and I was set to take one after her. I went downstairs and entered the bathroom the same time as she did. Well we went and used toilet at same time and seemingly flushed at same time. When I was done I went to my computer which is around the corner from the basement bathroom and sat down with my headphones on. I heard the water running and thought nothing of it as I knew she was in the shower. I was watching a youtube video and heard the sump pump in the bathroom going constantly (this was likely ten minutes after I flushed) which made me get up. When I turned around there was water all over the floor. About a half inch to an inch in spots. I ran to the bathroom and saw the toilet spewing gallons of water everywhere. I managed to get it stopped. Then ran to my desk and saw the water had come within an inch of hitting the power strip on the floor and likely electrocuting me to death. I managed to get the water away from it and out of my room for the most part. But it took 3 or so days for the basement to dry up. But only now is it sinking in that I came within an inch of knowing what it would be like to be lit up by Raichu. When I sit at my computer I sometimes sit cross legged (indian style...I do not enjoy the term) as when I have my legs down they hang above the ground which causes some discomfort. But had I not decided to get up when I did I likely would have lit up like a christmas tree. Scary to think how close I was to possibly dying.....
Still not sure that it has fully sunk in or if there is something wrong with me that I'm not more emotional from such a close call.... but then again when you have tried to commit suicide more than once I guess death isn't as scary anymore (well over 10yrs ago now...still have the depression and anxiety but now my inner demons are more well managed for the most part). But wow that was quite the scare.....at least for my parents (they still do not know about the suicide attempts)....
