How to deal with depression after failed suicide attempt?

I’ve called the suicide hotline and they hung up on me several times, I don’t know what I’m supposed to anymore I tried giving my heart to someone and she turned her back on me... I really do hate living, I’m tired of trying to make myself happy and I just know I can truly never be happy I’m miserable and I do hate my life I wish I was dead every time I wake up... I know of nothing worth my life here on earth, people keep telling me I have a purpose for living and I know that I don’t I give time a chance because if I do something will come around but it won’t last long.. I’m tired of emotions, I’m tired of making people happy at the expense of me being miserable I don’t feel anything anymore

Start small, man. Do something constructive/positive you enjoy doing daily. Make the effort to do it. Not something passive like video games but something that forces you to create or be active. Make it a habit.
Depression loves you at rock bottom but fears you when you climb because it's harder for it to grab you and keep you.
Glad you're alive and kicking, man. One of my favourite authors was suicidal but overcome it and then wrote so beautifully people centuries later still talk about him and read his work. Dont give up.

I don’t own a video game system, I don’t even like doing anything I’m sick of trying to find ways to enjoy life when I’m just not happy living @5thApprentice

@Dateless don't aim for being happy. It sounds backwards but trying to be happy often ends with not being it. Happiness comes when you're too busy living.
Find something that you can even tolerate to do or something that interests you. Anything to get you unstuck. If you stay there forever either life will pass you by or you will pass up life. We the same age range bro, we don't got time to waste. Fr

Right I’m tired of wasting time, after failed attempts of taking my life I’m still alive... that makes me depreciate life even more @5thApprentice
