I keep telling myself that there is something like a reincarnation or some sort of afterlife. I personally hope it's the latter so I can meet my family again. The former is like starting over, seperated from everyone you loved in your past life which is a thought I can't bear. But hey at least you don't cease to exist, right?

I'm not sure what you mean if your asking how I feel with depression, there's times I get down but I fundamentally believe things will work out in the end which allows me to move forward.

If you mean how do I deal with inner struggle of existential wuestions of life my position was always looking for truth even if I didn't like what it was but in general it's a good principle to listen and constantly wuestion yourself.

Reality it's scary sometimes and I think all people in their lives have at some point the feeling of existential crisis and I wonder how you can deal with it and move one

Life happens. Tough it out.

I can't force you to keep living...a person's life is such a "personal" thing.

People in syria are dying. you are so spoiled for struggling with minor problems

What does that have to do with you?

There’s only war in syria bro. People die in an unfair way

Is there a war any other place?

Apparently everyone else's life on the earth has to STOP, all because syria is going through war. That isn't our fault.

You're an emotional hoarder...you've got to be.

Reincarnation is a myth. A straight up myth, never existed. Defeats the entire purpose of being "someone".

You don't even know why we exist so don’t act like you know and understand the universe.

I don't have a hope for a life after death or something like that

Reincarnation is not a myth. We have seen incidents of people acting weirdly like certain past people and looking the same. It's a mirroring kind of thing man.

Is that the root of your existential crisis?

Not really but I have the feeling when I realize that life will never be fair and that any terrible thing can happen at any random day without warning or without a purpose behind it and this is annoying.

A wise man once said that "We suffer not from the events of our lives, but from our judgment about them."

Live in the moment and be happy that you got the chance to live. Place your satisfaction on small wins day by day and don't dwell on what could happen that hasn't happen yet.

As long as there is life, there is potential.

The cure for depression is daily remembering people worse off than you and being thankful for the blessings God bestows upon you.

-You're paying high mortgage, but others out there are homeless. So thank God you have a shelter.

-You're suffering from a disease, but others have blindness or deaf ears or limbs cut off. So thank God for your health.

-You're eating food that tastes bad or causes health problem, but others are either shortage food supply or famine. So thank God for the food and water you have.

-The city you live in has high crime rates, but others are living in war-torn places and systematic oppression. So thank God for your safety and security.

-You got high bills to pay, but others live on streets begging for money. So thank God for your wealth.

The list goes on. There is a saying that, a problem is only as big as you make them out to be. There is truth and wisdom to it.

You don't even know why we exist so don’t act like you know and understand the universe.

I don't need to know "why we exist", to know that reincarnation is just narcissistic and stupid.

In fact, there probably ISN'T a reason to exist, things just manifested. And who said I know or understand the universe...I don't even CARE about it...lmao. I have my mind where it needs to be, and it's HERE. Get over yourself, darling.

Reincarnation is not a myth. We have seen incidents of people acting weirdly like certain past people and looking the same. It's a mirroring kind of thing man.

The concept of "reincarnation" is absolutely narcissistic. It's just an escape route for people who don't even like themselves.

Reincarnation isn't REAL, just a bunch of people succumbing to their "egos" and displaying narcissistic behavior. I've seen it before...flat out wannabes that don't love themselves.It's an ego "clutch"...something to blame your current issues on, so pathetic...lmao.Only losers dwell on the non-existential.

I've never been here before "this life", and I sure as hell don't wanna come back here. Sorry to say.
