Existential Crisis
I really don't see the point in existing, I'm not suicidal or anything it's just that what is the point of doing anything if eventually the world and universe will somehow not be anything. If I become a doctor I'm helping people but then they die and I die and nobody in the world really cares. Why do I need to be happy if I am going to die in 70 years? This toes into my biggest fear, freedom/ openness. The thought and realisation that I can literally kill somebody or walk out of my house and never come back is terrifying. Can anybody be trusted with this kind of freedom? Any large open space where I can see the horizon freaks the h*** out of me, I will start shaking and get sick. I have no idea what to do besides just keep performing basic human necessities and living up to the expectations society has set.

Well, for one thing, the fear in any large space is a real fear created by your subconscious and it is an anxiety. Anxiety can be treated two ways, one being medicine, the other a counseling and active treatment plan you follow from a Psychologist trained in CBT, cognitive behavioral therapy.
I see that as separate from the other part which sounds to me like questioning your existance, as in why do I exist and what is the purpose of life on earth if its so fleeting.
I see things from a spiritual viewpoint so I will share my views. I had these same questions as a teen but I now after enough reading and studying, I have come across info that feels right and true to me, because I feel it inside of me, like my soul saying yes, this is true instead of thats hogwash, I'm not believing it. You have the right to believe what you wish also, as long as it helps you to grow and mature as a soul and not harm others.
So, I bellieve that souls are born into their mortal meat suits which are the vehicle for our experience on this planet. I do believe in reincarnation too but whether you do or not, you can believe you're here for this one chance or many. Earth is the school for souls. And like school students, souls go through different levels of learning and that explains to me why there are people who are so vicious and hurtful and picking fights and doing wrong, and those oblivious or not bothering to think about anything, just muddling thru one day after another and lastly, the people who seem to have found joy, and contentment and purpose in life and are living it with purpose. If GOd is our Father, then all souls are his children. What do earth parents teach their children? Manners, to share, love and care, and often they get that chance with siblings, cousins and eventually in school with classmates and friends. We forget that concept when we become adults and get busy with our jobs, making ends meet in a harsh world with wars, social instability and economic woes. Our focus is drawn away from the very simple truth, that we are Gods children, and we only have two things to get right in life, to learn to acknowledge and love our parents/parent back, and spiritually this equates to a relationship with our Creator, what ever it is we call Him/Her. The other is to love and get along with and help take care of , look after and help teach our siblings, the younger ones too. Spiritually that equates to how we treat every human being whose path we come across...the store clerk, coworkers/boss or classmates/teacher, the homeless person....
Yes God could wave a magic wand and make this harsh world a Garden of Eden again where all our needs are taken care of but then we are done a disservice, not learning for ourselves in that kind of environment. Souls are born on earth for the reason to grow as souls to become more like God, in preparation for living someday on the spiritual plane. Because of what God is like in pureness, its been said no soul can look upon him and live let alone survive in his presense. ITs like expecting an air breathing human to live without aid forever under water or on the sun. In one, we drown, the other, we are burnt to a crisp. Something about the makeup of our souls needs lots of changing and fine tuning to be able to be ready to stay in heaven with God. It is that simple and that complicated. Hope this helps.
