I understand and am sorry you are feeling down. Some days it is hard. Do you have a reason that will cause you to have to get up? Perhaps a dog to walk, or a child to get breakfast for? Maybe a family member or a friend that needs your help. Helping others is often our best medicine. Maybe volunteering someplace that really needs you. Most of us need to be needed. Taking an early morning walk is another good way to begin our day, or even going outside with your cup of coffee to hear the sounds of the birds, feel the breeze and be thankful for another day of life. Try to think of the good things in your life. Not saying it is easy, but we can't give up ..... it will only get worse if we do.
“Then Jesus said, ‘Come to me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest.’” Matthew 11:28 (NLT)

All of your suggestions are terrific BUT when you're that down it's almost impossible to do. Besides this wonderful outlet, we require a professional therapist to evaluate the who/what/why of us.
