Does meditation prep one for ctb or push them away from it?

It doesn't do either for me. For me, it just doesn't work in general and I don't feel anything from meditation

Could go either way. I guess you will find out if your mind wants to ctb or not if you meditate without directions.
If you use guided meditation you could select the outcome.

It might help if you are in a neutral state of mind. If you are really emotional it could make it worse

If by meditation you mean observing your own body in silence then I am not sure myself. It calms me but I never went too far. I am actually scared of point of no return if I went deeper into it. I am already aware of what I am but I can still enjoy material things and connect to others. If I give up these habits and make them meaningless I might spend the rest of my life like a vegetable. Nothingness.

I assume it would make me less suicidal but also I would have zero drive for almost everything. And that thought scares me, it actually feels like death in a way.

You should be scared, you basically described the state I'm in. It is like death.
