Thank you for relating your experiences. It must have been very painful to have to live with that. The descriptions of what it was like during the coma is definitely something to ponder about. Perhaps it is a defense mechanism your brain creates to prevent itself from going insane.
Yes you would think you would feel trapped, but it seems it is more like the Rip Van Winkle long sleep- with some awareness.
Now you presume someone created a defense mechanism so they could not go insane? There are actual examples in her post about people who were in a coma who came out of it and they are doing okay. Are you from the former clown posse?
