31-Year-Old Software Engineer Existential Crisis

Next month I will be 31 years old. I make a lot of money (I'm a software engineer). I work entirely remote, no one goes to the office. I have no friends, never had a gf, haven't had sex in idk how long. I think of killing myself regularly. My job is pointless, I worry about layoffs all the time, I have tons of money and nothing i want to spend it on. What would you do in my situation? I hate myself and life, I hate my job, I just want out of this hell. I have been thinking about trying to become a doctor/surgeon. I would need to take some pre-med college classes, I could do it part time and keep working or maybe quit my job. Or maybe just kill myself, I don't really know what to do.

A screenshot shows an anonymous software engineer describing wealth, remote work, loneliness, lack of romantic experience, job dissatisfaction, and recurring suicidal thoughts. The joke is a bleak internet confession contrasting financial success with profound meaninglessness, often shared as a reaction to existential dread and burnout.
