And I don't necessarily mean, "Oh, nobody pays any attention to me; I'm so invisible and lonely," though the two feelings might very well be related. I'm talking about the cold, paralyzing sort of feeling that you actually don't exist; that you might blink and disappear, or that the world might swallow you up. There are moments (right now, for instance) when I feel acutely that I must not have existed the previous day, or for the two weeks prior— that when I go to sleep, even if I wake up the next morning, I might not actually exist. I don't wholly know how to explain it. It's like waking from a nightmare and being unable to shake the last few threads of the dream... and then having them hold you down throughout the day. Or the deeply-held conviction that the world just doesn't fit together, that everything really won't be okay in the end. Is this an indication of some sort of issue? Is there anything to be done for it? Any thoughts?

lolz at existential crisis
Also, take a more active role in the lives of others. Fuck with them a bit. That usually does the trick.
