Existential Crisis

I'm an 18 y/o stuck in an existential crisis that has left me feeling absolutely nothing. I do not have passion for anything and love for anyone. I feel like nothing matters and nothing I do will ever effect anything. I feel like I'm watching life through a lens and like it's just not real.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Nematode. To go through this existential crisis, it may help to feel rather than think what it is like to exist. I know that can be difficult when you don't think you feel anything, but taking steps to be in your body and feel your senses can help. Try doing things you enjoy that engage the senses-like eating or being in nature-whatever you enjoy, and experience how that feels. Mindfulness may help bring you closer to your feelings and find meaning there. I hope this helps, and be well on your journey.
