I just finished reading meditations.
I am drawn towards Epictetus on account of the hardships he faced. Being a slave, and a cripple and inspi te of this managing to make something of his life.

Should I read discourses or enchiridion next?

Discourses without a doubt. Though you should've prob started there. Get the Oxford (Robin Hard) edition it contains Discourses, Fragments, and Handbook (Enchiridion)

yes read more books made from the nectar of suffering slaves JUST LIKE YOU anon, this will ease the torrent of consciousness disintegrating entropic forces which seek to turn you into a soft puddy to be imbibed by the Life Satan. This is a good plan of action, you have done well, your ancestors, do you here them, they call to you from the grave

You should read Plutarch

Study the Discourses first, and then use the Enchiridion as a book of summarized reminders.

Plutarch's life of Lycurgus is particularly interesting

One step at a time friendo, I am confident in my ability to persevere, if nothing else.
