Caring about nothing means
An antipsychotic
Is a bitter pill
To swallow

In the grander scheme of things nothing in the external matters that much anyway. Everything is temporary, love, happiness, sadness, life etc. According to Tolle, the only true essence without an opposite is your inner presence and will go on eternally.
Not living in the past or the future is the best you can do. Being ever present will eventually bring calm and peace apparently. I’m giving it a try anyway.

I’ve often pondered the aspect of nihilism within our respective illnesses. I always come to the conclusion that it’s only pointless if you make it pointless.
I don’t think we can return to normal, but we can take a different aspect. I prefer absurdism, it does matter, because we can make meaning to it. Temper that though with insight, meaning can dip into delusion.
Wishing well for you.

With Sz I realize we are stuck bouncing between the two polar opposites of ‘Nothing Matters’ and ‘Everything Matters’.
It’s exhausting, lonely, terrifying, ad infinitum(sp).
