Your distress about life might mean you have been living for the wrong reason, not that you have no reason for living.

"Native Son"
If you have known yourself, you have known everything else. Know that, by knowing which, you will know everything else. The Bible says, “Seek that kingdom within you.” Once you have found that, then everything else will be automatically added unto you; you don’t have to go looking for things outside; they will all come to you.
There is nothing like returning to a place that remains unchanged to find the ways in which you yourself have altered.
-Nelson Mandela
You necessarily have to be lost, before you’re found.

Man cannot remake himself without suffering, for he is both the marble and the sculptor.
-Alexis Carrel
