Episode Five: Am I Having an Existential Crisis? Apr 27, 2022

Show notes

In this episode, Janys describes what an existential crisis is, as well as the collection of terms that can involve questioning life and its meaning of it, death, and uncertainty. The thoughts that accompany an existential crisis can feel intense and heavy, and at times can lead to more rumination, or being stuck in our own heads.

If you choose to see a therapist and talk about the heaviness of your experience, it is important that they can both help you define and validate your experience. A good therapist will help you explore what triggered the crisis, such as living through a world pandemic. People who experience existential crises may also contemplate suicide. Therefore, it is so important that you address both with your therapist. You can also call your local crisis line, or contact the national suicide at 1-800-273-8255

A therapist will also help you balance both processing the existential crisis while living your life. It is important to remember that you matter and that you are not alone, and that you are not going to feel stuck forever in this crisis of meaning-making.
