Existential Crisis

A deep, obsessive concern with unanswered questions about the meaning of life and existence, resulting in the disruption of one's daily life and characterized by long or short-lasting bouts of apathy and depression.

"He's been reading a lot of Nietzsche and watching How the Universe Works on the Discovery Channel, now he's having an existential crisis."

existential dead

Taking existential dread one step forward. The feeling when you're in a continuous existential crisis so you just go numb and "die" on the inside.

Just like you experience existential dread you also experience existential dead.
Sophie was in the final year of her STEM course and had realized that she would've been better off studying business but three years of chemistry had killed her on the inside and she was now going through existential dead.

existential crisis

It's when you begin to question meaning of life; meaning of your existence
I'm having an existential crisis; Everyone I know is going to die....I'm so alone in the world.

existentialism

Existentialism in its purest form is any philosophy which states that existence precedes essence; that is to say, that there is no inherent purpose in life (though normally this is not carried through to nihilism.). It also states that the physical world does not necessarily precede the conscious state, as a conscious mind must find itself in a world to attain consciousness in any meaningful state.
Nihilism is an extreme version of existentialism, as are most forms of solipsism.
