Actually I can share what my ex therapist said about this. Beyond a point, it makes sense to live not with just ourselves in the center - but to have a bigger picture of life - to have some good cause at the center of our lives. That will probably prevent you from ever reaching the state of desperation that you have written here. Try to find actively something to do for others - than just for yourself. That will help you.
