I've been suicidal. Some things that helped me:
1. Reading ancient philosophers. I like Alain de Botton's book The Consolations of Philosophy as a start. He covers different types of philosophers throughout history and then you can pick the type that resonates and follow that rabbit hole.
2. Understanding/confronting childhood trauma.
3. Figuring out what I wanted to do, i.e. long-term meaning/purpose, and creating an action plan. The plan didn't even end up working out, but simply working on it somehow scratched some deep itches.
4. Trying out a different diet. Maybe environmental toxins, too. I know those sound trivial but... Garbage In Garbage Out.
