How did Nietzsche suffer a great deal in his life?

Answer 1

Neitzsche suffered from severe headaches all through his life, finally culminating in his becoming an invalid for the last ten years he lived.

He was never a phsyciatric patient. His sister, The Shrew, cared for him at home. He was totally bedridden and virtually unresponsive. The Shrew dilstorted and misused his writings to gain social standing. This was probably the greatest suffering he could have.

Answer 2

Well, syphilis and an affair with your sister tend to do that. He ended up in an asylum and wrote, "My Sister and I", kind of freakish and brilliant at the same time. It has been speculated that Idi Amin also suffered from untreated syphilis..

From Nietzsche:

"As long as a man knows very well the strength and weaknesses of his teaching, his art, his religion, its power is still slight. The pupil and apostle who, blinded by the authority of the master and by the piety he feels toward him, pays no attention to the weaknesses of a teaching, a religion, and soon usually has for that reason more power than the master. The influence of a man has never yet grown great without his blind pupils. To help a perception to achieve victory often means merely to unite it with stupidity so intimately that the weight of the latter also enforces the victory of the former."

Answer 3

In 1867 he served in the Prussian artillery for a year and suffered a bad fall that made him unfit for service. A philosophy professor of mine added that he came down with diphtheria and dysentery at the same time and his health was never good after that.
Because of his dire poverty he was only able to afford very poor accommodations. His fireplaces created more smoke than warmth and failing eyesight left him with only a few hours (or less) within a day to read and write.

Answer 4

He suffered on the plane of the mind, a very heavy fate and a mental illness.

Answer 5

His father died when he was at young age. He took this hard and then followed by the death of his young brother.

He was bothered by the idea that the world might be lacking intrinsic meaning and redeemimg values(moral.spiritual or ethical).
