I think it’s a natural part of growing/waking up to the fact that, despite what we are all told from birth, there actually is no “point” to any of it. At all.

The challenge is to flip our perception to appreciate how wonderfully liberating this is.

Many people get it, it is quite normal, I think. The trick to avoid is to practice mental hygiene - don’t let the shit come in. Ponder over things that you can influence, be a kind person and help others. That way you see the world in a better light and it’s good for your sleep. You won’t solve the problems of humankind anyway. And get out of industries that aren’t kind to the elder.

Every time I see a HexBear or Lemmygrad instance post. These people are so braindead that I just can’t accept life anymore.

“I’m seen as toxic and think it’s fun. I like to own the libs. See my red hat?”

See this is amusing to me since im not even American. I dont really care that much about dunking on libs to be honest. I will fully admit that some of my comrades (its a nice gender neutral word) on hexbear like dunking on libs a lot…maybe even a bit to much. If you want to have a nice polite conversation about anything my dms are open or we can have it here.

I think about how the fuck are we here when there should be nothing… and even nothing needs to exist somewhere… like beyond cosmic insignificance. Then I vape some weed and play games online.

I suspect I’ve undiagnosed manic-depressive disorder, but either way I get heavy existential dread for 1-4 weeks straight, then reoccurring again in 1-3 months. I also get similar pressure from my industry. So I do feel you :(

Almost Daily. It’s a manifestation of my persistent melancholic depression. At some point, at least once almost every day, I’ll spend some time more or less paralyzed thinking about strangelets or meteor strikes or other shit that can wipe out the world and there’s nothing we can do about it. I’ll then go looking for more reasons to just not bother living if I can get off the couch.

Very rarely. Cosmic insignificance, radical freedom, the impossibility to establish or confirm ultimate Truth, and the socially constructed nature of most of our subjective realities did feel overwhelming to me when I was younger. As I’ve sat with these inescapable realities over the years they’re as much facts of life to me as my inevitable death. These are things which are completely outside of my control, so I just accept them as aspects of my reality and worry about what my limited self can affect for myself and those around me. By chance, my being is a somewhat self-aware mind in a human body so I’d like to experience being that for as long as I can. I try to help others out when I can as well. I would like to see us move toward a fair and just global society for mankind, but that’s not something any individual knows how to execute or probably is capable of executing. I’m not responsible for the success of that project and really no one can be, but I want that to happen so I try to contribute because that’s literally the most I’m capable of. For my physical self, either I can survive using the resources and skills I’ve accumulated over my lifetime in whatever context my world goes or I can’t. If I can’t survive, then I’m not going to be worried about anything after I’m dead so the prospect of my death doesn’t really bother me and never has.

Maybe once a week? I don’t worry about myself so much, but others down the line. Things look grim.

It comes in waves for me. I’ll feel fine for a few weeks, maybe a month or two, then I’ll be deep in the depths for days, weeks straight. Mostly at night, staring out my bedroom window, contemplating the horror of the abyss.

I have to agree with you here because it comes in waves for me as well. But often spread out between 4-6 months and then I’ll get it for 2-3 weeks straight. It’s very unpleasant and I’m sorry you’re experiencing this.

Right back at you, yeah it’s rough. I am seeking out getting medication for it but we’ll see.

@housepanther@lemmy.goblackcat.com avatar

I’ve just started Rexulti, Klonopin, Chlonodine, and Ambien. Even though I’m only 5 days into it, I’m already starting to feel better.

I hope you can find some healing and stabilization.

Whenever I think of the future I get it bad. Disabled, poor, parents are my carers, couldn’t afford to live on my own even if I could. And every year the bushfires get bigger and closer to home. If I let it it constant dread would become my default state, but I am aware of this and try to focus on the now.

Not to say I don’t do my best to safe guard the future, have plans in place for if I ever need to navigate the things that scare me most. But I try not to dwell on it. Someday my parents will die, failing some sort of miracle I will end up in a care home without my pets. But I might also drop dead tomorrow in which case all my worrying will have been for nothing.

Right now at this very moment things are going ok and the number one thing that makes it not ok is worrying about a time in the future when its entirely not ok. But why meet it in the middle? I can’t change the rivers current, best I can do is try to steer on the odd occasion where the path splits.

mmmm every single day, but i became aware of death really young and have never been able to fully settle in with the thought of oblivion

it’s usually not too bad but sometimes it spins up into a panicked frenzy and i won’t get to sleep that day

chauncey ,

In my early twenties it was nearly constant. It’s subsided greatly since then. At a certain point I think I just accepted that “there is no meaning, so it’s ok”.

So once you get there, and you start understanding capitalism, then that takes over as the most all consuming topic.

Between COVID, climate change, and my own worsening health, pretty much constantly.
