I just see a lot of people in my life use depression or any other mental health issues as a way to seem cool but as a person who has suffered from a lot of them (I mean I read Nietzsche and Camus what did you expect),and it always pissed me off but right now as I’m typing this I’ve had one thought on my mind…would Nietzsche hate this too?
Looking at Nietzsche and his personal life,he was most definitely a very troubled and traumatized individual.,loss of his father,younger brother,and not a touch of love and intimacy at all in his life…so naturally,he probably would hate the thought how most life’s that suffer from the same misery and pain as him being mistreated and labeled than “normal” people in life,so what would he think about how it is today?
PS,sorry if this post is stupid or I seem like I don’t know what I’m talking about I’m just bored and this thought hit me.

I’m 17,and ever since I turned said age,I started to grow a massive amount of guilt and regret for some of my wrong doings I made in the past.not to go into to much detail but they are a bit NSFW.but ever since I started to realize the crushing guilt and shame of my actions,I started and almost made those same mistakes.and because I am in a relationship with a loving girlfriend,the guilt of said actions have been like that of the air I breathe,it’s always constant and keeps coming.

And every time I’m venting or talking about it she gets more and more tired of it because it’s like a loop or a cycle,I feel guilt or shame,I boast about it,she tries to comfort me,I feel a little better,and it repeats.
It gets harder a lot of times to try and move on with each passing day but also each time it happens I sort of reflect on all of both,wisdom from parents/gf,friends.,or philosophical insight from my teachers or the books I read.
And now I have come with this very question.
“Is this all because I’m transitioning to adulthood?”
And now I am here to see what responses/insight I will get from that very question.

I’m wanting to get into stoicism,I have loads of books,and I’m trying to find peace with a lot of regrets and anxiety in my life…I also am having trouble guilt but that’s probably for another subreddit to talk about.
To put it bluntly I respect stoicism and I agree with a lot of their values,so what would it take for me to become a stoic and let go of all of my worries and guilt?

I just want a full understanding of it because I’m trying to understand Nietzsche as much as possible and whilst reading birth of tragedy I couldn’t wrap my head around it

So for while now (ever since I was around 8 years old) I’ve had a staggering addiction to pornography.
It’s led to me seeing some very dark and disturbing things online,(without me interacting ofc because why tf would I)and I’ve grown a lot of guilt and trauma from it.and I’ve told my partner several times about me relapsing and of times where I’ve seen those disturbing things.and she thought I ment masturbation.,now,I didn’t know if I made it seem like masturbation on accident but either way it’s still a major fuck up on my end…and now she has been absolutely mortified and disappointed.shes even gone to thinking that im lying and that i was hiding it behind her back…and im having an extremely hard time trying to cope with all of my mistakes and errors and all of the times that ive backstabbed her and was disloyal…i feel utterly crushed and everytime she messages me or i open up her DMs i feel heartbroken and riddled with guilt.

I’m scared of becoming a person I hate or making risky or dangerous decisions (not to risky or dangerous but scary non the less.)

I’m 17.and I’ve had an addiction to corn for a long time.
I’m in a relationship and my addiction has spiraled and escalated left and right to where my pleasures have turned into shock and my heart feels weak and my mind grows tired of all of the failures and anxiety of my addiction escalating or getting worse in some sort of way…that or the fear of harming my partner because of it.
I’ve been trying to read books such as meditations and even the daily stoic but I want to know how I can truly wrap my mind around the wisdom and motivation and turn it into discipline.
