Can anyone recommend a philosopher whose texts might give me some meaning so I don't off myself?
You need to realize that your nihilism is just one perspective among many.

philosophy can't stop every feel, if you have depression it is physiological

therapy and meds are for weak fags man. I honestly don't know what to say, of course suicide is the way to go but I can't do it cuz no gun and too pussy to try other methods.
To escape life I usually spend time sleeping and for some reason I've been seeing lots of dreams and most of them are like daily life so its kinda good.
Playing video game or maybe reading might be a good way too, when ur focused on them, u forget the real life as well. I usually get bored after playing and reading, go to sleep, wake up and repeat the cycle

Know the feeling man. Problem with our times is that we lack those structures (For example the Church, or the Communist Party, speaking from an european point of view) our fathers had to get them connected to an ideal, and thus give'em meaning. The modern man is faced against the naught of his individual existence. The only things valued today are mere distractions, mindless entertainment. My advice, as suggested previously, would be this : Focus on something greater than yourself. For me, it was philosophy. Kept me busy, kept my mind out of the boredom of everyday life and its fucking misery. The intellectual orgasms i get by studying texts countless men studied before me, they're hard to describe in english. Making a dictionary out of my brain : That's the thing that keeps me going, would certainly work for you. Another unoriginal advice i'd give you would be to avoid drowning yourself in alcohol, don't lose yourself in smoking weed, meds or whatever the fuck, did that when i was a 15-year-old nihilist, it's not worth it, you'll just get dumber, not happier. Sorry for the poor grammar, my English's shit. Best of luck to you, bud. Truly mean it.

if I were to start studying philosophy again I would probably read Hume or Kierkegaard. Also, drugs are bad eat (pic related) or equivalent and start taking vitamins

Reading more philosophy isn't going to help with that numb nuts. Go get engaged in something that involves interacting with humans on a daily basis. Like go to a food pantry or something.

This is the only correct answer.
