Existential dread is kind of dread about the state of the world and where you see yourself in it. Social media has allowed us to be connected to the world in sometimes a really artificial and unnatural way. It elevates our ability to compare ourselves to others, but also elevates all the horrible things that are going on in the world.
How do we explain the feeling where we have everything we could want, but we still feel so unhappy and dissatisfied? In this episode we explore some of the reasons for unhappiness in the face of success and everything we have ever wanted to dispel some of the stigma around sadness, depressive episodes and the normalcy of feeling unhappy.
