Prayer, Christ, Orthodox Church, not the cattle Churches. Go to a Church, ask the Pastor who killed Jesus. If he says, The Jews, or the Philistines, you're gtg. If he says, welll... umm..... erm..... then inform him it was the Jews and try the next church.

Life sucks and is hard sometimes. Any ideology that tells you otherwise is going to leave you hurt and confused when things go wrong because you can't find it in you to "be awesome instead".
Things get better and they get worse, sometimes through no fault that you can pin down. Sometimes you just have to ride out a shitty time in your life. In my experience (and I've literally been in a couple of psych wards) when times get tough, you should focus on the basics: eat clean, sleep consistently, exercise, read, keep a clean house. It gives you a baseline level of heath and psych wellbeing that's entirely under your control. And when you stumble on those steps you're probably still ahead of where most people are.
I guess to me, being "red pilled" is about seeing bad times coming, recognizing you're not responsible for society as a whole but are responsible for yourself, and trying to be one of the good men who spawn good times, not one of the weak and lazy men who spawn hard times.

What's there to be depressed about. You prepare for yourself in what you believe in going to happen in the future. Keep yourself healthy and help out others whenever you can.
You should be active in some way. Express yourself. Try to become as good as you can in a sport, martial arts, music, art, study and learn history or other subjects, something. Find something you enjoy (if you enjoy it you'll probably get good at it as you'll be happy to put in the hours needed). Give yourself some pride and a feeling of accomplishment. You can lend a hand to political or cultural efforts and social outreach to change things. Every helping hand shares the burden for those trying and can lighten the load on your heart as you'll know at least you've done something instead of nothing. Your achievements and efforts will also be great self-improvement and make you a more interesting, confident and admirable person which will in turn make others like you more. It'll give you a good excuse for social situations and meeting others of like mind.
Blackpill and depression leads to inactivity, isolation, rot and decline, high suicide rates, self-destruction or self-sabotage in general, fearing hope so surrendering to doom, etc.

Stop caring about things. Instead, focus your energy into investing into yourself, the people closest to you who matter in your life who invest into themselves, and other people who matter to them. That's a bit ambiguous at first glance, so I'll throw down some specifics. Exercise, train in a martial art, and cook better quality meals for yourself. Make the most of the time you've been granted. Learn skills and pursue knowledge that enables you to enhance your quality of life. Associate with people who work to make peoples lives qualitatively better, not simply easier. Develop skills that enable you to deny the state means to tax your productivity.

God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, Courage to change the things I can, And wisdom to know the difference.
I pray to God and ask for guidance when I'm at my lowest. I play games and watch TV when I want an escape.
