嗨，谭雅，我在搜索存在主义焦虑时偶然发现了你的网站，这是一种我和其他人一样遭受的焦虑，包括健康焦虑。我第一次经历EA危机是在1966年，当时我15岁。是的，50多年前。当时我没有接受治疗，也没有告诉任何人我的焦虑，但在我20岁的时候，它最终消退并消失了。之后我过了30年的单身生活，24岁结婚，生了两个漂亮的女儿。我的生活非常幸福;我有一个成功的事业，觉得生活很接近完美。后来我到了50岁，工作压力很大，开始出现健康问题，虽然是心理上的。我突然崩溃了，变得非常焦虑和害怕。关于我的存在和他人存在的极端深刻的想法占据了我的头脑，我觉得我要疯了。 My GP diagnosed Anxiety and depression and prescribed Seroxat (I’m in the UK). I took medication on and off for about 8 years, including when my twin was diagnosed with cancer which terrified me, (thankfully he recovered but not without facial disfigurement. My obsession with my anxiety gives me constant distress. I have many anxiety symptoms even now, aged nearly 67! In my more lucid moments I realise that Existential Angst is the main driver as it encompasses the entirety of fears and worries. The hours I have spent contemplating The Universe and Everything has made me no more insightful, which is frustrating and just serves to fuel my anxiety. Perhaps the mystery of ‘Meaning Of Life’ is just not able to be understood by mere mortals. I’m determined to overcome my Anxieties, and realise that it is only I who can do it. Just typing this has calmed my mind, it’s rather therapeutic.
