I'm feeling like shit and nothing is enjoyable anymore, maybe philosophy can help me.
Can you guys recommend a good book featuring Nietzsche's core ideas? If that's too advanced then I'm also interested in Stoicism.

Start with the Greeks.

You have to break out of the system, you are not you. You are not the All. Your skeleton has become capital alien entity. You are controlled. Become the All, become it or end up like Randy.

No I will not start with the Greeks. Their problems are so different from mine; they would just laugh and call me a pathetic loser. And already I know I'm a pathetic loser.

You will understand literally nothing in Nietzsche if you do not at least read a few of Plato's Socratic dialogues.

Dude, stoicism is not what you're looking for if you're feeling like shit. They'll just tell you that all those problems are not your business as long as you cant't help them (like existencial crisis and stuff). They'll instead teach you how to get your shit together and keep going, having a productive life, eventhough you still want to die (just let those thoughts appart).
Well, psycollogicaly that's what I would recomend you, BUT, if you want to go deep on why do we have horrible thoughts about ourselves (and if you don't care abouth sporadic racism) go ahead read Nietzsche. Of course you'll not understand all the first time, but thats normal. Just start with his midle-age books (the first ones are like... a lot abouth linguistic & ancient greek, and maybe you're not interested).

As a "philosophy of life" Stoicism is superior to Nietzsche's philosophy. You will be happier being a Stoic than by following Nietzsche. Nietzsche's advantage is that he is a pretty damn good writer.
Epictetus was a Greek. And the problems you face are the problems that their contemporaries faced.

Unironically download the Sam harris meditation app. Mindfulness will help you tremendously and straight away. Philosophy is for smart people who have spent years pursuing it. You are a psued who needs instant gratification.
