Not a very original problem, but this has intensified recently. Whenever I am not deeply occupied by work / sport, negative and mostly suicidal thoughts completely overtake my mind. Running is the only thing that makes me happy these days. How do you block these thoughts?

Get friends.
How? I don't know. /adv/ doesn't know either. Drugs will help cos drugs are easier to get than friends.
Life is a grind and you have to keep grinding. Maybe get some medication from your doctor.
You're only guaranteed this one life. Any afterlife is not promised so you have to make the most out of this one.
Try make some new friends. The main point when you're feeling this way is to keep trying. The world probably won't last another 20 years so what have you got to lose by riding it out?

Talk to a professional about it. A lot of my friends have struggled with this kind of thing, and the answer is talk to a professional. The longer you wait, the worse it will be.

Running is very good.

Look into something creative, too. Reading/writing/drawing/etc. Like challenge yourself to draw your day every two days or something, even if it's just filling the page with black.
I'm also sending a big virtual hug. You are not alone. Even if you've no clue why and where are you going, keep going.
