why do i think about existential and nihilistic thoughts too much to the point of not living normally?
>>84022039I can't tell without knowing anything more about you. I'll go out on a limb and guess you're a natural born pessimist (something that can be changed) and your environment or whoever you spend most of your time with is making that worse (something you can also change).
>>84022081i just really have no energy to do anything, think about death a lot and a lot of existential questions, introverted and don't have a lot of friends
>>84022039time to have a spirit battle against your dark self anon
>>84022093>i just really have no energy to do anythingAre you eating and resting right? >think about death a lot and a lot of existential questionsI think if you occupy your mind with literally anything else you'll stop having nihilistic thoughts.
>>84022111>Are you eating and resting right?yeah, it just like i stopped having interest in life in general, everything seems boring now even the things i used to enjoy
>>84022120Have you recently suffered a trauma? Especially if it's an emotional one.I'm asking because the last time I felt from that it was from exactly emotional trauma. I can tell you how I mostly got past it if you're interested.
>>84022039because you have too much time to think. Get a job
>>84022161idk if i can call it a trauma but i left religion like three years ago and the questions began since, but before leaving i was bored and disinterested too it's just the nihilistic thoughts fuels the disinterest, also since my father died i started thinking about death more than usual and now it seems more clear that nothing matters
>>84022176i don't have energy at all, even to play
>>84022192working forces you to have energy
>>84022190You have my condolences about your father passing.Mh. Since you left religion behind I would guess you could keep yourself occupied with philosophy or anything like that. I can't help you with author recommendations as I don't normally read philosophy, but I can and I will tell you to be kind of yourself and celebrate any small victory you have. Count even getting out of bed at a decent time as one of those. You take a walk outside? You go for a jog? Write those down as victories as well. I'd also advise you to write down those victories and to re read them any time you have an hiccup of sorts or generally feel bad.I'm sorry I couldn't help you more, Anon.
>>84022204thanks anon, i really appreciate your help
>>84022039You need to ironically get a life and something to look forward to.Normies dont think about these things because theyre too busy being distracted with life. When they finally die maybe they'll think about nihilism for the last few seconds before they die but they'll be too busy being flooded with dopamine to be scared
>>84022211You're welcome, Anon. I really, really wish I could do more to help you but I'm not as good at helping people as I'd like to be.
>>84022244No, I think you did a great job, anon. (I'm not OP)>>84022213>You need to ironically get a life and something to look forward to.Not that anon but why do you say that as if it was so simple? I guess that everyone going through a more dreadful stage wants to just "get a life", but it's not that easy. If you introspect and, specifically, be affected by negative emotions during this process to the point of internalizing them, it won't be easy to just get a life
>>84022039i dont remember how my brain was before all this
>>84023036before what?
