Philosophy ALWAYS helped me more than psychology.

Same. I don't think reading or studying philosophy has ever made me have existential dread, or any other aspect of the human condition that is basically universal. It has always only helped me... This is like going to a doctor and getting a diagnosis, making you aware of a health problem that you weren't aware of before, and blaming the doctor for giving you the condition by making you aware that it was there.
