Anyone else having a really hard time being conscious about everything going on? I haven't felt the same since covid. I feel like I am living in some dystopia nightmare that is slowly getting worse and worse. I am plagued by anxieties about self consciousness and existence. Not sure if anyone else has had these issues.

Wise words. But I will say we've come to a time where "grounding yourself, meditation, and prayer" are no longer optional "things one can choose". There are two outcomes from an existential crisis - 1) Accepting God as the Loving Creator who benevolently rules over All His Creation and loves us, his imperfect children, perfectly. Or 2) a defeated belief that one is alone in a Dark, Uncaring Cosmos dictated by random entropy and chaos, where one is ground to dust under the boots of those who hold more Earthly power.
There is one paved, comfortable path, but it is narrow. The brambled paths outside of it are the wilderness one never escapes.
To the OP. If you are of Faith, double down on it. Make it your foundation. If you lack Faith, literally make the effort to ask God "please help me to believe in you." Aloud. I find being in the shower under warm water helps. ?
Ask, and eventually ye shall receive. You may feel self-conscious, silly, or hypocritical but God doesn't care. He just wants you to ask.
After that works, rinse and repeat with Jesus Christ.
Hang in there buddy. All of our eyes are being opened to the Satanic madness around us. It's a struggle for us all. We have each other, and God, to rely on. That is all we need.

Too true. Go into your room and pray alone. You don't have to tell anyone and no one will see you and mock, there will only be you and God.
