When I went to the lowest point of my life (after bankrupting a startup) was to give up on everything and start travel/move to the beach (yes, without money. Volunteering, selling stuff on the street, getting used to hunger and to not have a shelter). Well, for my surprise, in the lowest point of my life I met real happiness and made lots of great friends (hostels are a great place for that). After that, I got back one step at time, and currently (5 years later) I live the best time of my life (for 5 years). I'm not sure if my advice can be useful, but to change what I expect to do with my life was the first and most important step. Also, very important but very personal as it worked for me but can have the opposite effect on others is that at my lowest, I started to smoke weed and started to have long sessions of thinking, meditation and productive time alone, reflecting or studying something new.
