It's been a while since we last spoke, but the existential crisis is still going strong.
Today, we'll be diving into the messy world of relationships. Because what's an existential crisis without a dash of romance?
We'll be exploring the pain of dysfunction in all its forms:
- Toxic friendships
- Codependent relationships
- Unrequited love (the classic)
- And, of course, the thrill of a good old-fashioned cat-astrophe
They're like a bad rash - you know they're there, but you can't seem to get rid of them.
How do you deal with the constant drama and angst? Do you:
- A) Avoid them at all costs
- B) Try to set boundaries
- C) Get caught up in the maelstrom and lose your mind
- D) Write a strongly-worded letter and mail it to their house
When the other person's happiness depends solely on your existence, it's hard to know what's real and what's just a construct of your own mind.

- B) Create a shrine to them in your bedroom
- C) Develop a 'maybe they'll notice me' anxiety disorder
- D) Join a support group for the lovesick
