Exitstential

One is considered exitstential when at some point in time they discover there is no formally declarative time as it's been displaced. Out of time is a similar reference to being exitstential with a minor difference, that being the realization that something has gone shitbag wrong. Usually, those with a slippery grip on "reality" suffer from exitstential struggles. Symptom's include constant thoughts of death, dieing and pain (see Thanos). Basically, it's due to severe life or N.D.E.'s. ">
The sweaty middle aged man from the Alleghenies discovered he had a severe exitstential problem when the sun he once new was invisible in a dream he had the night before.

Existential Crisis

An "Existential Crisis" is when and individual person starts to question their entire existence and questioning if being alive even has a point or if it's all pointless. It also is hard to get out of because when you are debating if reality has a purpose it gets in the way of everyday things, like Making Cereal or Recording Videos or any sort of activity.
Existential Crisis's include the EXITING topics of...:
-The inevitability of death
-The crushing loneliness of realizing all humans inherently are and will die alone
-The absurd meaninglessness of the universe and as far as we know there is no reason or purpose for human existence

Existential Angst

Existential Angst is the relation to one being aware of the possibility that life lacks meaning, causing an extreme form of anxiety, and a feeling of despair or hopelessness.

One who is an Existentialist may also have the Angst from the realization of one's true freedom. The normal example for this would be like one standing on the edge of a cliff. Someone with anxiety may fear falling off, but someone with Existential Angst, however not only fears falling off but dreads the possibility of throwing themselves off in a sense that "nothing is holding them back".
I often feel scared that life is pointless or lacks meaning causing my Existential Angst.

I was afraid that I might jump off the edge of the cliff falling to my death because I had an impulse of amorality from my Existential Angst.

Existential Crisis

A period in which you contemplate the meaning of life, your purpose in life, the inevitability of death, etc.

This can last from a few minutes up to a month. Best done lying on your tummy face down on a flat surface (usually the ground) with hands by sides. Can occur at any time during the day.

Most commonly occurs among people in their 20s as they have just become free and are living their own lives and making decisions which will impact them in the long run.

Existential Crisis 1: *lying on the floor at the bottom of the stairs* "Life is so pointless. I work so hard to further my career and have a life when really it'll all be worth nothing because I'll just die. Is this really what I want to be doing?"

Existential Crisis 2: "Making some cereal.... Why do I exist? Life is pointless."
