Um, I gave up and went through a period of acute suicidality that required intervention. I didn’t die, but the parts of me that worried about stuff sure did.
I am much happier now because I know now that I can check myself literally whenever I want.
So, you know, however you want to clean up the phrasing on that, I guess.
My significant other went through something similar. He said when you have nothing left to live for, nothing really matters. And then nothing really matters, you can do whatever you want. And that freed him from everything that was holding him back.

This is basically optimistic nihilism.
Once you accept that there is no “plan” and nothing you do matters, the only things that matter are the things you choose to do.
You are the master of your own destiny, for all the good and bad that it implies.
That’s exactly what he called it lol.
