Existential anxiety

Out of no where I have been having obsessive existential thoughts and it gives me anxiety. I’m always thinking about why we are all here and how. It’s a pretty terrifying feeling bc it makes me feel unfamiliar with myself and even family and friends. Sometime I listen to myself speak while having a conversation and analyze my voice and it sounds unfamiliar to me. Has anyone experienced this before?
