The only reason I keep trying is because I know there are young guys who are just starting their study who are being misled by shit advice. I'll keep trying to at least make sure accurate information is out there.

The idea that anyone would have to choose between graded reading and grammar is so nonsensical, it deserves to be confronted at every step of the way, regardless of how popular this mob mentality is.

this. i get so bored because it's rare that I find people into the samw things I am, or are even willing to go indepth about their own experience and percepiton of life. Half the time I just throw on a smile and just nod my head, or I just act/get inebriated to entertain them and throw up a smokescreen

That's a really nice appraisal of Neuromancer and the genre as well. Read the book about 8 years ago, but it has still stuck with me. What you say does put to rest Cyberpunk in one degree, kind of stating the Climax of it.
I'd like to believe there are still more stories to be told in the genre, but most likely none will be as masterclass as Gibson's.

Op I have pretty bad hypochondria and anxiety/panic disorder and I can only tell you from my experience that it gets better over time. You will find that life has more meaning when you strive for the greater good and find meaning in the things you do. This can involve religion or not but you must apply yourself to something. Death is not the end of you.

Feeling Good by David Burns is an excellent read , it teaches you Cognitive Behavioral Therapy without going to see a specialist, although if you combo both of them, as I did, you will reap far better results . Cbt has greatly changed my life and it is backed up by science although of course is not intended to be a self-help/"this is it!" type of book. It will teach you the ways you self defeat yourself and the negative subconscious thoughts over the multitude of patterns and ways of thinking you've built over your lifetime.

Because despite being "successful" they were still fucked up human beings that suffered, hence the alcoholism of Hemingway, the drug use of HST and the narcissism of DFW.
