Addendum, drink too.

Actually don't. Drinking is probably the worst idea. Go on NS more and avoid all your problems

Embrace ambiguity and uncertainty. Remind yourself that it is, in fact, a good think that you wrestle with the totality of your own existence; it means that you're not so simple as to be uninteresting.

I convinced myself to stop thinking for a while and simply enjoy life. It worked well.

I would like to know when they end. How do you make the existential crisis stop? This I want to know.
Venicilian: wow. Jesus hung around with everyone. boys, girls, rich, poor(mostly), sick, healthy, etc. in fact, i bet he even went up to gay people and tried to heal them so they would be straight.

Grab a plane and fly somewhere interesting.

I dunno if you're considering suicide, but you might as well do something fun before you go.

I'd like to point out that he did not say "buy a ticket" or "rent a plane". He simply said to "grab a plane."

Just throwing that out there.

Listen to "Existential Blues" a lot?

That helps.

Listen to kick-ass rock music. It works for me every time. Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, and The Who are some of the best ones. I recommend Quadrophenia and The Wall for your situation.

Eat chocolate, read bad poetry, write bad poetry, lose myself in highly unrealistic, depressive fantasies, ignore it until it goes away (because all existential crises ultimately resolve themselves whether you give them input or not).
