I imagine I might come off as patronizing, but I hope my words can be useful to someone.

First off, I would kindly ask you to please don't consider suicide. You have no idea how much impact that will leave behind. My baby sister chose that 11 years ago. I still have nightmares about it, to this day. It shattered me as a person. According to what I read in the Bible, this life is pretty much the only one you're going to get. You go to sleep until the 2nd wave of resurrections, then you will be judged on your worth for God's new kingdom. No one goes to heaven nor to hell, because everyone goes back to where they came from, which makes Jesus' ascension to Heaven that much more special.

Life can be enjoyable, however it is our own personal responsibility to make the most of it. No one can live a good life on your behalf. If you're stuck in a rut, why not change the scenery? Once every now and then, I like buying a train ticket to somewhere in the morning, spend the day there and then go home in the evening. I will visit parks, historic monuments, whatever I can. There's lots to see even for free!

Second, do take care of yourself! Take a bath once a week, wash your face daily. Use a gentle face soap and moisturizer. Exercise a little every day! You can use your body's weight to do some pushups, squats, etc. If you want to get fancy, you can get a resistance chord off amazon for like $10. I use mine every day!

Third, learn something! There's lots of literature and documentation out there covering any topic you might be interested in, no matter if you can monetize it or not.

According to my own experiences, life is motion and if you decide to stand still, you're going to become miserable because it contradicts the very idea of being alive. I will be 35 in a couple of weeks and this is what I learned.
