Does reading Kierkegaard help in any way with existential angst ?
The last time I had feelings like this was when I was 16 and then I just read Camus which seemed to help but lately I've been getting semi related panic attacks and feeling like shit.
My issue also isn't as much with inherent meaning of life and rather it's more of a fear of death. Which is I think even worse because I can easily rationalize away as why I shouldn't feel this way but that doesn't alienate my angst in any way so I don't only feel like an overgrown edgy teenager but also as an irrational moron. Maybe reading some stoic works/meditation could be of use with like helping me project the logic of my thoughts stronger into my emotional wellbeing or something.
What do you think?
This isn't really related to literature much and I doubt many people will care for a thread like this but I don't feel comfortable talking about stuff like this with people I know and it has really been gnawing at me so I just need to let it out a bit.
