You may want to treat the mental illness, you fucking idiot

No shit man, that hasn't been going too well though. And now my Psychologist is on summer vacation.

>>8320690
Have you tried just being yourself?

>>8320678
I've had the same thing happen ( not Nietzsche and the Greek but every other part of your story)
It's a shit feeling but really the only way to overcome the feelings are to work through them and eventually tune them out. Or have a near death experience like I did.

People think Nietzsche's life affirmation was some sort of unconditional and eternal Yea - but it isn't. In fact, to believe so, you have to ignore one of the most important passages in Thus Spoke Zarathustra.

Nietzsche was arguing against pessimism/nihilism, the eternal Nay - but he did not advocate some sort of eternal Yea as a consequence.

If anything, he advocates the sometimes-Yea and the sometimes-Nay. His argument is that we are far too easily inclined to the eternal Nay - like a child that says no to life, for having been burned a few times.

We don't say Yea often enough - which is not to say that we should say Yea 24/7. There are times when it is reasonable to say Nay, but only after fair consideration.

Doesn't really change my dilemma. Thanks for the Stirner though.

>but he did not advocate some sort of eternal Yea as a consequence.
Some of his notes are very arguable here. But you're right in what people think an eternal yea would be. Like Nietzsche's eternal yea is p much Amor Fati.

Listen to this guy. Nietzsche does not have a magic idea you have not considered as to why life has meaning. He can convince you, maybe, that a "post-god" world isn't necessarily a bad world, that you should strive to affirm your life - and that by being true to your will you can achieve moments that become, in fact, the ultimate meaning of your entire existence. His eternal recurrence - without entering debates as to weather it was a dogma or an ontological theory - is a great way to understand this: your existence is hermetic, only defined by what it is/was, a single moment of fulfillment echoes like an eternity, can justify the entire experience.

I had heat stroke and realized not wanting to live is a lot different than actually dying. If I wasn't found so soon it would have been game ogre and it was scary.
