Just double the meds. Double the meds.
Have you ever had an existential crisis?

When you feel that way, you need to look in the mirror and say I'm going to enjoy this time, or I will do something with this time.
Hopefully in your life you can do both, not everyone can and when most people whom worry about life not meaning anything a more set goal seems to help. Even though we all really want both.
Next time that feeling hits, let it hit. Don't be afraid of it, study it. Some people myself included, feel an insane peace from that. I still want to live a long happy life, and be remembered for doing good. But if a bus hits me tomorrow it does. I didn't fail. I did the best I could with what I had and that pushes the dread away.

Yeah pretty often. Who cares if you're remembered or not? You're dead, it's not like you're going to hang out and talk to your great great great grandkids about it or something.
Life is pretty meaningless but once you get used to the idea, it's not that bad.

I have those every other week, not a big deal to me anymore.
When we die we go back into the universe, similar to the state before we were born, and everything will be....peaceful again. Who cares about being remembered? You will be dead and NOTHING, your love, your current, past, or future feelings, family, experiences won't matter. Maybe they will to those still alive, but they will die too.
What to do about it? Don't care about it.

This. You won't be alive to be butthurt that everyone's forgotten you, so why does it matter?
If you want something to think about that'll keep you going; look on a way smaller scale. Every genuinely positive interaction you have with someone changes their life for the better in some way. Think of a mentor or someone you admire and consider how much they've influenced you as a person. Does this mentor even know how you feel? Probably not. If you're not a shitlord, you're probably doing a whole bunch of good without even knowing it. In that way, you've shaped the lives and experience of people you've interacted with and made an impact, albeit usually an invisible one. You won't go down in historical record, but you're a part of another living being's personal narrative. In the end that's the only history that matters to anyone: the shit they live through.
So focus on living your own story and make sure it's not all self-pitying garbage. You only get one shot to fill the pages.
