Since everything is but an illusion, Perfect in being what it is, Having nothing to do with good or bad, Acceptance or rejection, One might as well burst out laughing! โ Longchen Rabjam I suppose this means our depression and negativities are illusion, too. Sometimes I believe that, sometimes its difficult for me to accept. Working on it.... WHOA!

The possibility that our existence and subsequent sentience is the product of an accident means that we have lucked out in a big way.
I am gonna enjoy it while it lasts. Whether it be drinking cups of tea, taking drugs, reading books by Albert Camus,tearing about on motorbikes, starting a family, doing DIY, being spiritual, being philosophical, arguing about philosophy, listening to music, looking out the window all day, sitting on the toilet etc etc.
The fact that existence maybe pointless means that it really doesn"t matter that it is pointless. And if there is some benevolent overlord/creator/god/awarenes, then great. Either way it"s a win win situation for me.
It is healthy and normal to have existential crises. It is up to the individual to decide how they wish to develop them.
One night I was smoking marijuana and flipping through channels when I saw this: (trust me just let the story finish, it came from a strange source but makes a good point.... ) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=45hM7iAkjk8 The clip in the link above a great way of saying "you don't know enough to worry about these things, just enjoy life! (Function in place), we are all going to die, we all struggle to understand our place in this existance, but rather than stress or fret, just enjoy your existance...look, nobody exists on purpose, and nobody is sure exactly why they exist, are your feelings on the issue going to change it?...just enjoy while your here. https://m.youtube.com/wa...cmVsYXRlZEjPnJKB4p2TzOMBThe link above is a better version, I'm not sure why I used the tv version first, maybe because I randomly learned the story while tv surfing, regardless though...) -eg

I don't have time to read through this thread, so perhaps someone mentioned this, but one way to deal with it is to realize that you don't have to take your thoughts seriously. It's really that simple, be mindful of your thoughts, but you don't have to believe them all. Let them arise and then let go of them. In my experience, trouble comes when you have an uninterrupted stream of thoughts. You have to create a gap between them and then build on that. Eventually it settles down.
Another thing to remember is that you aren't your thoughts, if you were, who's listening to them?
So don't take them so seriously. I hope this helps someone because I know how it is.

The purpose of life is to live a purposeful life. Find out what that means for you, and it's all good  This is the time to really find out who you are and enjoy every moment you have. Take advantage of it.
