You might consider carving out a small portion of your life for a special indulgence. In a way it can be a refuge and something you look forward to. From this, it might be possible to build a momentum that allows an increasing amount of interest in other things. One might see it as building a parallel life that might grow to be one you want to step into.

For me personally, Understanding that life is pointless and rly not that serious has actually HELPED me with despair. I can understand how that might be a slippery slope, but it helps to know that nothing in life is as serious as society makes it out to be. It slowly brings about a transition from 'life is pointless <\3' to 'heck yeah! Life is pointless! :')' because that way it reminded me "i can do whatever i want and feel good when i want to because this existence genuinely doesn't have much deeper meaning so why not just enjoy being here i guess"

Sorry if this doesn't help, I'm just explaining my own logic and what helps me with recovery

Thank you very much, both answers helped me. The first one is a bit difficult for me to start now but seriously thank you and I will really try
