been in this fkd up spiral since november 2018 started off with a panic attack excessive anxiety switched to dpdr and then existentialphilosophical questioning after seeing a therapist for 3 months i first heard that i am going through existential ocd   our minds are trying to give answers to these questions so the anxiety can stop which is the obsession the compulsion usually takes the form of researching the internet for an answer trying to get reassurance every time you talk about it with someone etc   personally i dont take medication however im trying out supplements such as cbd oil fish oil and jogging which help with the physical symptoms of anxiety i also pray meditate work and try to keep my self preoccupied through out the day  i guess the only way out of this is just to accept the fact that these questions will remain unanswered until the day we die and just keep moving forward if i was to give a meaning to life that would be the journey towards death you know your destination might as well make your journey as much interesting joyful and adventuress as possible while accepting the ups and downs of life  x200b  theres a poet by c p cavafy called ithaca i strongly recommend that to anyone going through an existential crisis      keep strong
