Existential crisis

2018-06-28 10:50:59
Hi, Around 2 months back, due to a chest pain related problem I got very scared and believed I was very close to death. Though the chest pain was due to inflammation in cartillage, the experience impacted me mentally. I was pushed into thinking about the meaning of life and such other questions(existential crisis) It is affecting my day to day life now. I feel depressed even when the chest pain is not there. What is the best way to come out of this?

These questions might already be there in you and falling sick for unknown reason for a while might have been a triggering point for you to do some introspection. Take some professional help for the dillema you have been facing to get back to normal day to day activities. It could be a long journey of self awareness. I am sure you will do it.  All the best.
