i don't know what the fuck it is about Libidinal Economy but it feels like i can only ever read it in doses and trying to read the entire book in one sitting over multiple days is miserable and i haven't figured out why

it's a repulsive book but not in the sense of finding it disgusting or worthy of contempt but in the sense where i try to read it and i almost feel as if i'm being intentionally forced out of it

re. 5/6 - i read this as the choice between rejecting one's neuroticism (via therapy), or accepting one's neuroticism (by seeing it through to its end?). either way, people have a tendency to overemphasize healthiness, even though a focus on it might not be the best choice for oneself.
