What I find helps with the existential angst is to connect to the formless, unmanifest source.  Blogging can actually help with this, but I also find that I can “talk” myself into a state experience of the Witness that will then often lead into a nondual feeling of One-ness.  At this point, the angst usually subsides as an attachment.  And when I hold it in that space and marry it in nondual, it tends to dissolve into wisdom. 

This feeling of angst has actually been happening with my wife recently as she's been experiencing some frustration with her co-workers at the Coop who just don't “get” it yet.  I talked her into a state of the pure transcendental witness last night when it was happening, and her angst subsided for the rest of the night.

These methods tend to work for me, and so for the most part, the angst is not as threatening as it once was.  I know I have a way of softening the blow and transforming it into a welcome experience.
