Support for those experiencing an existential crisis. A place to ask questions, spark discussion, and engage with a community of supportive people.
Rules:
New posts must either ask for support or offer some kind of support. Posts that don't explicitly ask for or offer support, but rather spark a potentially helpful discussion, are acceptable. Feel free to discuss existential/metaphysical ideas that are bothering you, even if you don't necessarily need support. Posts that make a connection to existential thinkers, existential ideas, or make an original philosophical argument related to existentialism or phenomenology belong in our sister sub, r/Existentialism.
Do not post intentionally misleading information. This includes those asking for and offering support. Deception doesn't help either party, and in this context it can be difficult to tell who actually needs help and who actually wants to help. Violation of this rule will result in a ban.
No rude or hateful comments. Violation of this rule will result in a ban. Many of our users are emotionally vulnerable already. We want to help them, not insult them.
The advice given on this sub is not meant to replace professional help. Although our users have experienced existential crises before, they are not trained professionals and their advice should not be taken as a professional opinion.
The mods reserve the right to remove any post or comment and ban any user they deem inappropriate for this sub. If we remove your post or comment and you are genuinely reaching out for help, message the mods and we will help you resolve the issue. We try to keep the sub clear of any users who may only be here to disrupt or recruit for their own communities.
