I hope you keep fighting Maxime. All I can tell you is just take it one day at a time. Don't look back and don't try to look forward. Life does have meaning, even if you are in pain. Don't put any additional stress on yourself. If all you feel like doing is hiding under the covers and listening to music all day, then do that (I can't count how many days I've done that.) You can stand a telling off from your boss any day and vacuming the living room can wait. Don't get stressed out trying to do stuff you're just not able to do. Just try to make it through one day. If a day is too long try one hour.
One thing I've found that helped my depression was doing some kind of volunteer work. I know it can be stressful in its own right, but it made me feel a tiny bit better helping people.
