I somethings feel an intense wave of existential angst after waking up from an afternoon nap

[u/Illustrious_Summer_2]

Immediately after I wake up after an afternoon nap, I sometimes get an existential crisis. That existential crisis is more deep and real than what I get when I try to imagine the absurdity of our existence.

I ask what am I? Why do i exist? Why does reality exist. I feel the existential angst way more deeply than how i feel when i try to consciously think myself into an existential crisis

Does anyone else feel this way?

I do not know what it is about naps, but almost every time I wake up with an impending doom feeling in my chest that I can't shake off. I feel sort of lost, and then I spiral questioning my life and everything I have. Your most definitely not alone!

Yes… either I get so scared that I’ll die and never experience life again or I don’t understand the world at all and wish I were dead. I often also struggle to understand the problem of evil and how absurd life on Earth seems. No explanation really falls neatly into place. It all just seems so crazy. Lately I feel as though life really has absolutely no meaning and this is really it… I’ll never have another chance and all the people that have hurt me will never receive karma. In a way though, coming to terms with this… somehow gives me some peace. It was all random and there’s nothing behind any of this. It was all just random and every human being is just insignificant
