I guess I should point out that Stoicism tells you don’t stare into the abyss. It’s explicit that inner circles matter more than outer circles. It’s not compatible with utilitarianism. You are believing different things as a Stoic than you are as a utilitarian, and when you think about your beliefs you have different thoughts. I haven’t seen any EA endorse not agreeing with utilitarianism. If you do, that opens a lot more options in mental health, and you can just directly do the Stoic thing of caring about yourself more than others because it’s moral to.
