Is it normal to have an existential crisis?

Sometimes I freak out about life itself. I worry about death but I also freak myself out about life itself. What is life? Why do I exist? Why am I here in this crazy universe? There's nowhere I can go to escape the fact that I'm going to die one day. That makes me feel like life is pointless. I'm usually quite optimistic and it seems like all these thoughts hit me recently after my girlfriend dumped me, and I've been down for months. I know I should be enjoying life and living it up but lately its been really hard to with all these thoughts swirling around in my head. I'm certain other people have felt like this before but it helps to hear advice from others.

    Yes, i know how you feel. Just watch some anime, those feelings go away. But if you want to get rid of them completely think about it from a different perspective. Everyone dies, so its obviously something that's like another level, When you reach this level you go somewhere else and leave your body behind. Everyone will reach this level one day so its nothing to be afraid of. When you think about it it's like a new update and when the update comes you go to a new map and get new quests and ... hmmm i forgot what i was talking about but just dont worry about it so much.

    Is it just me or are more and more people starting to think and feel this way? There is something amazing about this...but I cannot quite put my finger on it.
    The advice I'd WANT to give you is to just stop thinking so much because you're treading on a subject that the you that is everything has always understood but that your mind cannot comprehend. As it is though, I'm thinking WAY too much as well and telling you that seems somewhat hypocritical.

    Often, life experience helps to answer questions that you can't get if you just sit down and think. Go out there and experience some cool stuff!

    Ask yourself another question: Must there be a reason for anything?

    Of course not. There is an old saying that the center of the Universe is here. Meaning that you and where ever you are is the center of the Universe. All you need concern yourself with is all about you, right here and right now. Live in the moment. If you concern yourself with moments gone by or moments to come then the experience of here and now is lost to you forever. Savor every aspect of the here and now. The reason you exist is yours alone to create as is the life you live.
    Meditation is worthy of your consideration because it increases your awareness and enables you to experience each moment more completely. In the deepest states of meditation you experience nothingness, which, oddly enough, is so blissful you are quite content within the experience. Once you've had the experience you never again fear death.
    But it is not necessary, if you simply dedicate yourself to living in the moment you will find that death, the meaning of life, the reason for everything, etc, have no significance.
