I have come to the conclusion that life isn't fun at all

"Hey Reddit I have come to the conclusion that life isn't fun at all. I'll start from the beginning I'm a math major at my local university and have spent the last 2 years studying math with no real idea what I'll do with it later in life. Around this time last year I started having problems sleeping, a lack of appetite and had thoughts of suicide. I went to the doctors and learned I have depression and got pills for it. All this was fine for my second year of university but then the summer rolled around the past summer I took some courses cause school is what I enjoy doing but this time I wanted to enjoy summer hang out with friends, play baseball, go on dates with girls I met at school. I noticed quickly I wasn't having much fun and that without studying I really didn't have anything to work towards. I also started having disturbing dreams and would wake up in the middle of the night because of this. I thought about all of this for a while and decided if the only enjoyment I can find in life is something as boring as mathematics then why continue living. I stopped taking my pills about a month ago and recently got a new prescription from my doctor so I have a good 60 or so saved up. My birthday is coming up in a few days it would seem fitting to live exactly 20 years it's a nice round number."
