Exisitential Crisis

[OR4377]

Ugh. I fell asleep just fine...I woke up just now and bam! Hot rush all over my body, feeling scared, and thinking about dying.

Over the past several months I have come across the term “existential crisis”. I had several people tell me I’m having this type of crisis. Any info on the subject is appreciated.

Is anyone familiar with anything in this post? Any feedback would be helpful- it’s always good to know you’re not alone in...let me wrap this up nflrr JH...I’m ambien tripping

Know that you all are appreciated 🌻

What makes you consider the above, Are you cynical and feeling low about the direction your life has taken. Have you lost a close family member. Is it anything to do with something you have done or not achieved

Have you talked to your Doctor regards your Mental Health, taking medications or having treatment ?

I definitely don’t feel I am where I “should” be in life- I’m not settled into a career (don’t have savings/retirement/a home/etc), single parent who always wanted my “own” family but I’m alone and lonely often times but not always.

I guess it is safe to say I do not feel achieved at all (I don’t discount the time I’ve put into working on myself). I lost my dad in 2015, it was expected and he had a full life- didn’t hurt any less however.

I truly appreciate you responding. I’m partly aware of the issue but I’m having a hard time getting to the root of it. I appreciate your help🌻

Many people OR feel life is how we make it however through life many people seem to miss the train and never manage to achieve their aims and expectations. I am seventy years old I had a responsible jog although I took ill and I was retired out so I have not had a paying job for about thirty years. That however did not prevent me doing Voluntary Work and learning many things I would not have learned if I was still at my old position.

Yes I have been to many relatives and family funerals and I have always felt if I had done right for them I had no negative feelings because of loss as long as I had done write in there lives for them. So in a way I achieved what was expected of me

It is not what we have not achieved it is how we managed to move on through life and learn through Life experiences. To be honest I am a Pensioner and have no real regrets we work through what life presents its to us we all cannot expect that perfect life no-one can expect that, we waddle through life warts and all, even the the wealthy pne percent can expect that
