Philosophical Investigations into the Essence of Human Freedom by F.W.J. Schelling
I'm surprised you are reading it again.
If you thought your existential crisis was bad, wait until you dive into Schelling's book titled in the OP. This book is like trying to solve a Rubik's Cube whilst blindfolded - in a windstorm.
The writing style? Think of it as if Shakespeare decided to write philosophy but got lost in a forest of his own metaphors and never found his way back. You'll need a PhD in German Idealism just to understand the footnotes...
