My father shot himself in front of me, my mother, and siblings on Christmas day several years ago. He lived (small caliber, poor aim). Ever since then I've been wracked by mental illness (crippling anxiety, mostly). How do I channel this into art and make gobs of money while attracting a /lit/ gf?

How the fuck would I provide proof? He lived it's not like there's a death certificate. I guess I could point you to everything I've written since then in which no matter the setting or the intended tone suicide reoccurs endlessly.

why would you want to "channel it into art"? if you actually got over your neuroticism, then there would be nothing left to "channel." As long as you can still "channel it into art", that means you're still experiencing it. If you actually want tog et over it you should let go of your desire to make it into art as well. You should recognize that this event was completely meaningless

(assuming this isn't just bait of course)

Eventually, he would have gotten old and forgotten who you are, including himself. The destiny of all memories is to be forgotten.
There is nothing in this life worth remembering, including one's self. This is because memory, itself, is impermanent and constantly being reinvented each time it is retrieved.
In other words, you don't need to cling onto memories for self-identification. In fact, personal identifies are largely formed through the selection of particularly salient memories.
You can have a stroke right now and forget your name, father, and everything. Afterwards, you would form an entirely different persona. What does that mean? Are you still "you" then? Look up Jill Bolte's "My Stroke of Insight" video.
This is how many people are able to be effective soldiers because they don't think back to their past selves or narratives. They just react to immediate experience due to ingrained habits (note, procedural memory is different from explicit memory -- different brain pathways too).
