Can nihilism/illusionism stop my mental issues of intrusive thoughts and anxiety and all that jazz?

>>34708025No, not really
No. You need to do exposure therapy and other things.
>nihilism/illusionismthese "philosophies" won't do jack shit for your bad mental health. if anything, they might anchor your shitty mindset even deeper in your brain. right now you probably need to stop being terminally online, start eating healthy, exercise and fucking go outside like 90% of depressed losers on this website. this cures almost any mental trouble bar the most serious ones like schizophrenia. but people are cattle who would rather eat jew chems and doomscroll than fix their lifestyle
>>34708025What would a counselor say about it?

>>34708025No, those things will specifically make all of your issues a thousand times worse. You need a solid foundation built on truth and knowledge, not a self-deception built on ignorance and delusion.
>>34708130not OP but can you explain this it came up recently somewhere else
>>34708130That ain’t really gonna help what with general therapy.>>34708161Yeah I also got OCD and this shit is just making me tired of being alive ngl dude, and honestly what’s even the point beyond curing myself when I feel like, combining those two philosophies with some metaphysics, everything of what we are is not real. Like I generally believe you and I don’t exist but persist in some illusion/nonexistent reality that believes it exists lmao.>>34708184Check above, not trusting those fucks.>>34708380Yeah and I realize it ain’t real jack, none of those, I just engage in the endless loop with no control.
>>34708025and you expect changing your belief system to fix this how?
>>34709581Well idk, I just think if it means everything with what and how we function doesn’t matter to an extent it’ll make less easier
>>34708025What difference does it make
>>34712024Alright just starting to realize you guys are retarded see ya
>>34708025I think that will make it worse because of existential dread
>>34708025Nihilism gives you nothing to point a finger to, and that can be peaceful. (to me at least)When problems, failures, and success come your way, you'll have nothing but your cultivated self worth to rely upon, no god or gods, demons, angels, moral karma, etc. There is nothing that can stop you.Nihilism is to take power away from external forces and apply them to yourself. This isn't to worship yourself, but to understand that ultimately people and society are psychologically trying to get people to be at the worst and worried and upset about things beyond their control either with science, culture, and or religion.Life is truly what you make of it at the end of the day. Let yourself define it, nobody or nothing else should do it for you.I know this sounds really cheesy but as somebody who's been interested in esoteric, high strangeness, consciousness and spirituality, religions and philosophy, etc. I understand that there is likely no real explanation for why things are the way they are and that they are tinted by bias. You have to look inside yourself for meaning, because you can argue that the universe/"god" is desperately trying to find it as well as we all are.
It wont. I don't believe in free will/purpose/morals etc but I can't help feeling bad about my various anxieties and intrusive thoughts. Outside of the obvious exposure therapy + eat healthy/exercise; its ok to not do some things that add stress to your life and makes it harder to deal with your neurosis.
