Existential crisis / Existential Anxiety

2022-04-16 11:30:46
How common is Existential Anxiety? Because I am going through one and it despairs me. Questions that arise in my mind Why we all exists, what is the purpose? What is this world, is there anything uncertain we are not aware of? How we got such an intelligence and are there any specifies in the universe which are more intelligent than us...nd how that intelligence feels like Is this world an illusion? What happens after death, we are gone for ever, so why such mess of achieving big and being good, or even why we exists at all in first place? If this existential crisis are common, how to overcome this, this despairs me. Or is it a sign of depression.

Dear sir I can understand your concern. As per Darwins hypothesis ..all living species ( including human ) follow 2 main principles * survival of fittest & * struggle for existence Now this struggle ll be throughout the life . What we have to learn is to stay stable , help others. Life is a matter of uncertainty and that is the real spice of it. Staying stable and managing all day to day activity huzzle  is also a type of intelligence. One should try to learn this as well . Existential crisis is bit common in struggling phase of life and serves as a fertile soil for anxiety and depression ( it depends on bio_psycho_social factors)
