Are you perchance about 25 years old? A lot of people say they kind of awaken around that age when the frontal lobe has fully developed. Like it’s an overwhelming overnight epiphany of everything.
Comment on So...how the fuck do I trust *anything*?
IronBird@lemmy.world 3 days agoi know, have started that process too recently. I’m just not used to feeling things so strongly i guess, and really don’t have anywhere else to turn to at this specific moment.

You can’t just say “perchance”

I’m glad you’re looking into seeing a therapist. It can’t be fun to feel like this. I also feel that some replies in this post are not helping your current state of mind at all.
I can tell you that I have had my own experience with an existential crisis and I found my way through it. I think most people go through some existential crisis at some point in their lives, and sometimes it can really help to have the right support and realize you aren’t alone. 🤗
I also hope you find a way to unplug from the news spiral and maybe even from the internet for awhile. Maybe go on a few walks in nature as well? I have found that it helped me a ton to just put on my shoes and a jacket and start walking when my mind became overwhelmed with the nonstop negativity online. Seeing the seasons change in front of your eyes has a profound healing effect on the mind. Everything slows down a bit and all the things that took up so much importance in your mind start to melt away. Seeing all the mushrooms currently sprouting up from the forest floor and hearing the chirp of a new bird i havent noticed before makes me so friggin excited to be alive. I want that for you as well.
We were never meant to carry the world on our shoulders, my friend. I wish you the absolute best and hope you find your way through. Hugs. ❤️
