Within existence, you were only a concept, given physical form in 3D mass and a +1 time dimension, and now you simply witness what happens. No need to search for further meaning.

A somewhat Confucian meaning of life is to become better every day. Honor your responsibility to all living things. Cultivate wisdom, kindness, and integrity—and never stop seeking the truth and beauty of the world.

To answer your question, if I couldn’t find meaning in life, I would go back to basics. I would try to find purpose by making a positive difference in the lives of those around me. Small things, but knowing that in the end they matter. And above all, I would seek the love of Jesus. I would start reading the Gospel of John to get to know Him. Take heart. Many of us have gone through similar times. As others have said, seek help and support.
