Well, yes, I experienced it all exactly this way and I don't think I actually talked to anyone at the time, but I don't regret it.
The problems exist and we should not give in to them, for if we do, we will be doing everything we should not do. You control your problems. You who faces them. This is the nature of life. And this is part of his maturation. That was another thought that helped me. You know, you'd be surprised at the number of people going through existential crises. Obviously, they present themselves in different ways and each faces them differently, but yes, everyone goes through it. Especially in the youth that is when we want to understand everything and know ourselves (and even if this is not the case, okay, each one in its time). We are constantly getting to know ourselves. And when you get out of it, you're somebody else.
Think about it: (as much as you're not religious or believe in some God or something greater) what would become of us without the problems? We would have everything in hand and there would be no evolution, either as a person or spiritist.
I know it's easy to talk but it's not like I've never been through it. I went through all this. To be here today and be able to tell you that you can too. And I can assure you it's worth it.
And no, your feelings do not seem ridiculous. Give them value.
And another way I found to distract myself from all of this was to try to get to know myself better and read about things that I liked (or even about similar experiences). I REALLY HAD NO IDEA WHO I WAS OR WHAT I WANTED. So I decided to take some time for me. This helped me a bit, because when you know who you are, you know how to control your feelings, you know what you should do for yourself or not. I also learned to say more the word "no" (something very important). Sometimes, when I'm worried about the point where such a crisis hits me, I think, "No, Laura, you're not going to feed this." and then I get distracted by something again. Just accept that it is a phase that you have to go through and does not prohibit you from feeling your feelings. You have the right.
