>have no money to get real therapist so just talk to free online "therapists" who are basically strangers
>tfw none of them understand my obscure, complex, philosophically and politically inclined problems
>none of them understand my deep fear of death
>none of them understand that i literally can't stop thinking about how horrific death is or how much i fear my friends and family dying
>none of them understand the fact that i can't shake this concept of an eternal hell
>none of them understand the horror of fearing you'll have to live through the ultimate nightmare, the worst experience possible after you die, regardless of what kind of life you lived
>none of them understand why i despise myself for adopting nihilism as my primary philosophical outlook and how much it has ruined my mental health
>none of them will ever be able to discover a brilliant new metaphysical model that will debunk my horrid universal concept and break me free from this nightmarish prison
>tfw afraid not even a real therapist could help me with this


Whatever you do anons, don't fucking read anything relating to nihilism, or existentialism, or absurdism. Don't read any fucking Nietzsche or Sartre or Camus or Stirner, unless you want your life to be a living hell until the day that you die, and then some. I'm not trying to be edgy here, I genuinely don't wish this feeling upon anyone else. What I listed above are just a few of the symptoms

my entire life is a nightmare where i despise living just as much as i despise the concept of dying, where i fear heaven just as much as i fear hell, and even non-existence. somebody please debunk all of nihilism right now please i'm begging you my sanity is crumbling

If I may advise you, you should see a therapist face to face, not on-line. Therapy deals with much more than just discourse and indeed, on the net, you're basically speaking to strangers.
More, if I may say so, your philosophical and political problems are symptoms here. They may be important in a therapy to make you arrive to another thing, but that's not the main point! (So I'm not saying you should not speak about it, but they may be not the origin you're thinking them to be for your problems)

All in all, I would advise you to find a good therapist (Tip if you seek for a psychoanalytical one : you should like him/her at least a little when you begin to work with him/her, and he/she should not tell you "what you have to do" - the thing I'm doing right now)

I'm not saying your problems don't exist, I think they do. But the fact you came to meet them by your readings only reveals a tendency which was waiting for this occasion.

Hey anon. I really hope you haven't gone offline already. I entirely relate to your sense that online (and in real life), too many therapists are just optimistic little psych grads with 0 life experience or what I would consider a proper education.

What deep, life philosophical outlook challenges you? What aspects keep you up at night, and what do you think makes them so unassailable?

when is philosophy getting its own board so all these melodramatic faggots who think losing their religion is a big deal will leave

I just realized a philosophy board would be all 14 year old and starting laughing hysterically.

Being depressed and being nihilistic is not the same. People are afraid of what they do not understand. Solipsism also makes people psychotic, the notion of being totally alone, that nothing is real makes them feel uncomfortable. The same with nihilism, psychologically they are not wired to believe it. It is like the people who does not like to think about the universe because it makes them feel small and insignificant, and if you get depressed you basically hate yourself, you think you deserve to feel like crap so you deliberately think about these concept as a form of self harm. People who are not depressed but nihilists nonetheless are persuaded by reason to adopt nihilism. It is a difference....
