I have read quite a lot into the nihilistic side of things and understand that it can be viewed in a positive way as in 'life is what you make it' (sorry about the Hannah Montana lyrics there), which links in to the existentialist view of 'It is the experience of life which is the point of life', but unfortunately my brain doesn't seem to accept it. I am trying to overcome this and am working with my therapist to change my views but at the moment it's hard to do.
Sorry for the long winded, had to send it in two parts.
