This is fascinating to me and I have so many questions! How do you feel about life now? Did you eventually end up feeling how you used to feel about life? Was it just a week of euphoria and then a “snap back to reality” (for lack of a better phrase) or was it gradual?

Not OP, but I've had a couple of pretty awful NDEs, and in my case, at least, while the euphoria fades after a few days to a week, each one genuinely did seem to reset my anxiety baseline to a lower level. Things that had bothered me 7/10 became 5/10, tops, and that has persisted across years. I would be very happy to have not had those experiences in the first place, but the silver lining is real.

Yes! for me as well. It reminds me of a response Jack Tramiel (Founder of Commodore computers and holocaust survivor) made, when asked about dealing with the stress of cut throat competition.....something to the effect of .."stress.. what stress? Compared to Auschwitz.. this is nothing"
