What I mean to say is that to a large extent, this is just a stage of adjustment. It's natural to be perplexed about what it's all about, since much of life boils down to work, eat, reproduce, and die, but your being in the grip of a philosophical crisis doesn't make everyone else slaves, as such.

I was serious above about taking some time out from the world to evaluate your feelings about it. This is a great time to explore philosophy and art of different kinds.
