Like for example That change of feeling when you stop hating the thing you created and it starts being precious to you.
Look, I can open a bag of chips. I could just clamp the fuck down and rip it the fuck to shreds without a second thought. I want to open the bag without exploding the contents. So I pull just a little. And I struggle to find the point that it gives without losing control. I want a word for the struggle.

The specific feeling of wanting to be anywhere but here, but not dying. I want to stop existing, but dying is too much. I want to be nothing. To evaporate. Idk how to explain it.

Søren Kierkegaard called that “existential angst.”

The only problem is, it's two words instead of one full word...

I quite of have the same feeling..
It'd be something close to "self-nihilification" and "ego dissolution", except the thing you're describing is the feeling itself, to which I'd coin the words "egonihiliphily" (fondness/love towards the own nihilification) or "egonihilipathy" (pathos after one's own nihilification).
Latin and Greek words make interesting jigsaw pieces oftentimes. (Also, I wonder if there's a German sehrlangeszusammengesetzteswort too, as I often hear "there's always a German word for it")

Thats just the difference between dying and being dead isn’t it?
Means the difference between a process and a state.
