how you cope with existencial dread
| I drink and watch anime
I know it's pathetic but i wanna get to a level of pathetic that is kinda funny and confortable
| i occupy my time with as much as possible
| I do something to distract from it.
| Meditation is pretty useful. Sitting with nature, too.
| I have mostly chronic dissociation that renders me largely resistant to it.
Besides that - sex, booze, games, making art.
| I whore myself out. Can't have bad thoughts if my head is full of dicks.
| I've been thinking about death since I was three.
For literally as far as I can remember. My next clear recallable memory is my fourth birthday...
It still doesn't get out of my head that one day I'm going to stop functioning.
Like, death doesn't scare me, it's just that I'm so upset, and angry, at all the time I won't have.
Yea that's it, upset and angry.
| I make some music, take some NyQuil, and have a good sleep.
| Confront your problems... is what you should do right?
But I just watch anime, streamers, and play games and avoid it
| Taking psychedelics helps with accepting reality for what it is
| >>401945
So you take psychedelics?
You just just straight up come to them and say "Yo, I'm taking you"?
| I don't think some of the responses here are healthy. In fact, most of them sound like they'll cause way worse problems than existential dread.
I mean, maybe don't do drugs and whore yourself out y'know?
| Kill yourself or stop being a whiny bitch .
| make existencial bread, you spanish loser
| I read Nietzsche, and Camus, and Kierkegaard, then.... then I question why I read in the first place, then I question why I do anything in the first place... then I read Nietzsche and Camus and Kierkegaard all over again.
| "I guess at some point you just have to accept that death comes for everyone in the end, and hope something good comes after. Doesn't stop me from constantly thinking about it and freaking out that someday everything comes to an end and there's a chance nothing we do matters, but if i let it completely consume me that does me no good, ya know"
| I'm a nihilist, it's fun.
| I don't feel any.
Just get anxious about passing School
