Tiny Crisis Toolkit #01: When You're Feeling Existential Dread
A mini survival guide for when life feels like a cosmic joke
You were just vibing when it hit: the sudden, crushing awareness that you're a sentient meat sack on a spinning rock in infinite space. Now you're frozen, rethinking your career, your haircut, and whether buying that turmeric latte was really going to fix anything.
You’re not alone.
This is a tiny, weird, lovingly handmade Emotional First Aid Kit for when the void gets a little too shouty. We’re not trying to solve existential dread here (lol), but we are gonna walk you back from the ledge, hand you a snack, and remind you that meaning is something we make, not something we find.
Let’s spiral responsibly.
Signs you’re experiencing existential dread
Are you:
☐ Spiraling in the bath
☐ Suddenly aware of your hands
☐ Talking to your pet like they’re your therapist.
☐ All of the above, with snacks
The Pep Talk
You’re not broken for wondering if anything matters.
You’re just awake. The key is not pretending you’re fine,
it’s getting curious about what you want to do with your tiny blip of time on this chaos planet.
Mini Moves (Pick one or two, don’t overachieve)
Go outside and touch a tree. Seriously.
Watch a documentary about deep sea creatures. Feel awe.
Rearrange something small: A shelf(did you know there should be odd number of objects for ✨the aesthetics✨), your desk, a playlist…
Write a letter to yourself in 10 years. Tell them what you’re afraid of, what you’re proud of, what you hope they’ve stopped googling at 2am. No pressure to be profound, just honest.
Do one absurdly human thing: hum, dance terribly, cry a little, scream into a pillow, pet a dog.
One-Tap Playlist
For when your meat suit is glitching and you need to shake something loose.
Spotify Playlist: Existential bop edition.
Think: soul CPR via sound.
Which version of you is spiraling today?
Existential dread has flavors.
These are four of them.
Consider this your emotional girl group, each one coping in her own chaotic way.

Remember
You don’t have to solve the meaning of life. You just have to feed yourself dinner.
🛸 Still feeling weird? Good. You're alive.
If you made it this far, you’ve already resisted the urge to dissolve into stardust, and that’s a win in my book. You don’t need to reinvent your whole personality just because the cosmic hum got too loud today. You need a snack, a shower, a playlist that reminds you you're still here—and maybe a little letter to the future you who figured it out (or at least stopped doomscrolling).
Existential dread is a side effect of being awake. So congratulations, spacetime traveler, you’re paying attention. That’s not nothing.
Come back to this anytime the void starts monologuing again. You don’t have to believe in the point of it all. Just believe in showing up for yourself.
Weird little rituals > total collapse. Always.
More weird little kits coming soon, because the void never takes a day off.
