This made me cry, to read that I do have meaning even in the eyes of somebody I will never meet.

And what if nothing really feels good?
It seems all I can do at this point is to busy myself with my obligations - I am studying and the exams are getting closer, se that might be a good thing - but I mostly do things because I have to.

I know the feeling of hell. At some times, I even believe I have nothing to fear from hell as life is worse.
For me, it's no meds. Until a few days ago when I started taking trazodone to sleep. I feel slightly better.
