I Am Lost

Life feels entirely pointless. I hate to be so existentially nihilistic about things in general. I can't grab onto time before it slips away.

Ahh existential crisis. It'll never really go away but you gotta discover your own value system, figure out what makes sense for you. Anything less would be nonesense.

My sense of reality may differ wildly from yours

I've done that for years, but there's always a point break, critical mass. Things unbalance, I became unhinged.

For me anyway once nihilism shattered my worldview it can only be broken once. I think I cope with the madness through drug abuse and sexual overactivity. Hopefully you can find less damaging coping mechanisms

It's only damaging if you actually pay attention to the damage. Out of sight out of mind. But I've always coped with a deep freeze involving a mild psychosis and self medication.

Well damage to me has been a near fatal overdose and relationship destruction. So hard to out of sight out of mind it

I'm sorry to hear that. And I know, it's easy for me to say that. I've not much to lose at the hands of risk. Besides my life. That should be reason enough, and yet it isn't.
