Have you ever been through an existential crisis?

Did you get over it? Please describe

is it including financial bankruptcy?

I went once through a crisis. seven years ago. I could not sleep and I did not know why. At the same I went to interviews for a new job. It was a hard time. I was in panic. tried to be always busy or in companion of others. when I was not busy I was worrying.

I think the problem was really that I was in panic. Panic is like "low faith". Actually there's always lots of options we have. But making the right decision and choosing the right option is yet another burden. You panic cause you have to pick the best option and what if you make the wrong one just because you panicked too early? vicious cycle.

Aren't you a Sag? We have good luck, they say. I stayed active and through my activities I got good luck. Months later I noticed I felt good again and could sleep too. Now that I'm talking about it, I have no bad feelings. All the trauma has disappeared. apparently.

Im going through one right now. I wish I knew why. I'm mid 20's good in my career but failing in love I feel so alone it's crazy

I get it. We'll I have been through one since 14 and I am 20 now... The last 2 years have been really intense..... What I mean by an existential crisis is those weird questions that hit me every day like who am I..... Like literally who am I there's no answer If you search.... You actually have to determine it.... Why am I here.... All these questions are pretty personal for every one to answer but not easy.... And I can't seem to continue my life till I have an answer even though searching I adopted the idea that you find/create yourself through life and experience and also that there is no actual reason to put yourself image in boxes..

Perspective is the matter once again

I feel like I don't know who I am and I have lost touch with myself..... If I ever had been in touch even..... I only get glimpses of it..... Maybe I will talk to a psychologist or keep going like that.

- I would replace "determine" with "find out".

- we need context to observe or get to know ourselves: others, activities, days.

- questions, talks and thoughts are complementary. not the core of life.

- ^ think of all the prophets who were wanderers before their final career. 😉

- start something. anything. use it as a field study to know yourself.

- yes, perspective matters a lot. but your perspective changed when you were not two years old any more, changed when you were not seven years any more, changed when you were not 13 years any more.

- good or bad, we get carried by external events. "they" send us to school, right? So you did not need to decide what to do with 10-13 years of our young years. Similarly whenever you don't know what you want or should want, let "them" send you to some school-context.

- But don't get addicted to this. Cause one day you are far from home and only robbers and deceitful people are on the way who would like to use you as if you were just an object or a pet.

"goat ... ambitious ... top of the world ... 7 cap ... Tired ... change myself ... most things i think i want where suggested by others and i just adopted them... improve myself since i was 14.... self help books,lock myself in to find myself."

maybe it was just a phase you are ready to leave.

so many planets in one sign give some conjunctions. conjunction energy is somewhat like Leo. maybe you want to shine and enjoy and play. too much theory wants to be set aside?

ambition and improving are all good. but even a simple insect|plant lives as it is. check if you also enjoy just being a living existence. a brain with hands and feet and nose and eyes and what. which dances to the music, swims in water, paddles, cleans, takes care, cares for, drives, picks a beer box for friends...

PS: but of course your 12th house tendencies will always be there. escaping, hiding, dreaming, searching the bound with something bigger than this...
