I have recently (within the past year) began a long battle with existential dread and a lack of meaning and motivation. I have good friends, family, and active social life, but its having less and less effect on my postive mental state. Has anyone here dealt with and overcome this? Help me outrun the Absurd!

Well you'd be right, and this time around I've been absolutely unable to shake it :/
Life is suffering and short, or life would have no meaning. It is a series of lessons that we are supposed to rationalize (which the history of religion and philosophy). When life gets me down...I think of the famous line from "Dogma" have you ever seen your faces during coitis?
