Hehe, it happens to me before I go to sleep I always start thinking about questions like:
What will happen after death?
Does my mom hate me?
Etc…

Good evening, I’m Gracie, I’m 31 years old, I really don’t know yet if I’m in depression or an existential crisis, everything happened after I fell in love for the first time with someone I only met on the internet (maybe many would say how silly) it really happened. I have many goals to achieve, I feel I am barely reaching them but they no longer satisfy me. I’m tired all the time, I feel like I’m never going to find someone who loves me as a partner, I feel like I’m very ugly. And many other bad, ugly negative thoughts that are killing me. Please if anyone has any advice for me. It would be very helpful.

This is how I feel, I no longer have the spirit I had before, I wake up bored and I never feel fulfilled.

An existential crisis is just that, a crisis, and as such it passes; Depression is a deep and prolonging state of sadness, leading us to daily apathy, to a depressing future without optimism of the day, not for anything, not for anyone, full of conformism and pessimism.
If it’s depression, that’s what I sense; You can use this which helped me, from a psychological point of view:
ONE EMOTION + ONE THOUGHT = ONE ACTION (If you have an emotion of sadness, try to have a positive thought; an optimistic thought) and you will have a more moderate action in your day. When I had that emotion of sadness that I didn’t even want to get out of bed, I would take an inventory of all the things I had achieved in my life, and how I was before and how I am now. THIS ABOUT EMOTION + THINKING = ACTION (helps a lot; seriously), IF YOU CONSUME ALCOHOL OR DRUGS, AVOID THEM BECAUSE THEY ARE DEPRESSANTS ON OUR MIND AND BODY.
I RECOMMEND YOU GO TO A HELP GROUP; I have the experience of attending 4th and 5th steps, Wars of Light and Hope, wherever you live, I know there will be one. And from what you say, the problem may be rooted in a lack of love when you were little, and that is why it hurts so much that your partner left you and you have this feeling of deep and prolonged sadness and pessimism, with a low sense of self-esteem. (I RECOMMEND THE GROUP IN A PERSONAL CASE, IT HELP ME A LOT).

Hello. I’m 17 years old, I’m starting my last year of high school and I’m going to university. I don’t know if I’m too young or if the idea of this big change affected me too soon.
The truth is that I have many dreams, many goals but I don’t know what to do to fulfill them, everyone at some point is corrupt, is bad and makes me think that at some point they are going to hurt me, they are going to destroy my dreams. They won’t be able to appreciate all the effort I put in.
It’s like I can’t move forward, a university degree is something serious and I don’t know why I came into the world, what I should do to not regret it. I’m tied to my mind.

I am 19 years old, I am currently studying Systems Engineering and I have really had constant thoughts about this situation for some time now (on average a year) I have thought that I am not on the right path, however apart from what I do for a living I am not I imagine dedicating myself to something else that makes me happy and I have even come to think that life itself has no meaning based on the fact that we are going to die.
I am afraid to look ahead and see a Daniel who has not achieved anything because of his lack of vocational knowledge or perhaps having already finished his degree, seeing how I am not pursuing it and other thoughts that disturb my happiness.
They are a mixture of thoughts that come to my head at these moments in my life that I wish I didn’t have and I hope one day in the not too distant future I will find happiness.

Look, I’ve had the same thing, even if that fear turns into despair, you’ll get over it. I was 15 years old and I had it too, but I realized that even if you think everything is impossible, it’s just your mind trying to escape, distract your mind when you think about things like that, all of this is Normally, I thought I would go crazy but I’m not here and thank you, I left the Osio, I mean do nothing and start socializing, going out and things like that, it goes from being something that overwhelmed you every day to a memory and a lesson in life to leave behind. to think things that will not happen with.or death or in my case not doing anything in life

I don’t know if what I have is an existential crisis but I feel frustrated in this life I am not where I wanted to be, I have not finished my studies I do not work I feel that time has passed for many of my desires projects, the motivation that I had some Maybe because it’s something to do many things I no longer have them, I don’t find meaning in anything I do, I don’t know what to do, I’m always anxious and many times I get depressed about my life, about myself, about what I am, I don’t know why. I exist, it is such a deep void, I feel that everything is in vain.

Excuse me, I would like to know how to help my boyfriend. He has an existential conflict. He says he doesn’t know what his mission in the world is. He feels like we are puppets who only do what is predestined for us, which according to him makes life difficult. make sense, he says that he feels a void because he can’t find someone who understands him, he knows that I love him and he says that he is alone for me but that he feels that sometimes living loses meaning, that he has not done anything important in his life (he is 22 years old ), I have tried to motivate him to move forward and fight for what he wants to study and achieve in the future, but he is very impatient and it stresses him more to think that to achieve what he wants he has to wait a long time, he says he doesn’t know what causes this empty and you know you have a problem but you don’t want to turn to anyone else

I have lived 14 years with a lot of confusion, I think that in my childhood I thought too much and perhaps so much that I lost sight of the present, so I don’t remember my childhood in itself, but when I entered high school the questions began to appear, I never stopped to believe in God but in everything that surrounded me, I don’t take things very seriously since I didn’t see the point, I know that the simple things are what count but the questions about every topic, religion and even life, never I would commit suicide because I know that my life is worth as much as the others and that I should be grateful for what I have, but if I talk about this with someone they take me for a fool, saying “just being a teenager is normal,” sometimes I tend to have confusing beliefs. I don’t know what to believe sometimes, I feel that the “friends” I have would never understand what I go through, I want to do something to change the world and although it is an almost impossible idea I have faith in humanity, not all of my doubts are bad, some give me unique points of view, and sometimes painful truths, dizziness, vertigo, lumps in the throat, and all this for thinking about existence itself, just for thinking about the future…Thank you for reading it: 3

Hello, I want to tell Maite that it is very good to have a psychoblog where people can express themselves (something basic about expressing themselves) and perhaps find a possible solution, although on the other hand I see your advice as very short, almost always referring to the people who comment They should go to a psychologist, talk to someone in their family, play sports or take a walk in nature… all of that is very good, but I think a much more open approach is missing. Personally, I went to 5 psychologists who did not solve anything for me, I had existential crises since I was 11 years old, which of course I did not discuss with anyone because I was sure that no one could understand me. And for my part, I neither understood the world nor did I understand that I was asked to follow patterns in which I did not believe. I went through many crises again: at 14, at 16,17,19,23… the biggest of all (for now, because you never know) at 35, where all the duels that I had not done were added up, all the depressions that I had left aside, and the last one, the “empty nest” depression, exploded on me. When I was 15 years old I was studying and working and I thought I was so old, so mature, that when I got pregnant I thought “I can do it alone”, because deep down I knew that the relationship with the person with whom I was in love, and with whom I was pregnant, was not It was going to last too long. I lost my parents because, as they have an old-fashioned mentality, they did not want a teenager with a “belly” at home, and the fact that they “kicked me out of the house” deep down I had created it unconsciously, since I had not wanted to live for years. there, with an abusive father. And since the unconscious governs us to a greater extent than the conscious, what happened is that I jumped from a home where I was mistreated to another where I was also mistreated, that is, leaving my parents’ house was a “return home.” , since I found the same situation of helplessness in the face of my husband’s abuse. I lasted less than three years, and I again “escaped” an unsustainable situation, which made me have suicidal thoughts. I’m not going to tell all my stories, I’ll summarize that I was being a “father and mother” at the same time for a few years, and when my daughter left (who had been the driving force of my life) the world fell on me again, and this time without a cause to fight for, because my self-esteem was seriously damaged. This time I did allow myself to be completely embraced by grief, anguish, pain, disappointment, fatigue, with a sadness so great and so heavy that I could barely speak slowly, walk slowly, the air was dense and suffocating me. I cried every day and lost a lot of pounds, so from within me “survival” mode was activated and I went out to look for a humanistic therapist, since neither the pills for depression that I had been prescribed, nor the hours with psychologists They had no effect. In the first interview we had I told him that I wanted active therapy, and that I needed to understand, understand, so I asked him to give me book titles. Gestalt therapy and the recommended books, in addition to working with the enneagram, helped me enough to get out of that depression, and come out stronger, realizing that human beings are in a period of growth all their lives, and from that depression It had helped me grow, because it forced me to know myself better, to understand myself, and to know and…
