Hi adv What can I do / what is this? I just tried to sleep

Nah bro, this is the time when you push those feelings deep down, go on to facebook, post a funny sentence or hilarious picture of yourself doing something awesome then jump on YouTube and look at some funny cat videos.

Hello OP. I'm a trainee psychotherapist who plans to specialize in a type of therapy called Existential Psychotherapy. Existential psychotherapy is a type of therapy that focuses on helping people come to terms with the givens of life.

I don't believe you're having a breakdown, I suspect you're asking existential questions for the first time.

"What becomes of my life and the people I love when I die?", "What is reality? How is reality defined?"

These are difficult questions. Psychotherapy might be of use to you, but equally, existential philosophy might be of interest to you.

Good luck.

I have been there. I'm on medicine because all that mind wandering gave me panic attacks. It helps. If it's really bothering you and making you feel depressed then ask a doctor about a prescription.

Sorry bro, I'm not a fgt.

I've actually had these questions for a very, very long time. I can even remember the first time i thought about mortality in the context of other people around me. What overwhelms me is that i wont know until i peace out, and even that isn't a guarantee. Thanks for your suggestions, I'll definitely have a look into both.

I've never had a panic attack, but what i imagine one feels like, is what i stand at the precipice of when these thoughts get too much. I feel you bro, sorry to hear it gets that intense.
