This is completely counterintuative to everything proposed in this thread but I think you really need to hit up an exotic location, swoop exotic women, do blow, smoke lots of cigarettes and just live on the edge for a few weeks.
Sometimes it's good to completely let go of yourself and really experience the vices life has to offer.
It won't be a panacea, but it will interject some much needed excitement in your life.
Get your ass on the next plane to a poosy paradise and go live a little. It seems that just sitting around trying to figure out how to cure it is probably not going set things straight for you at this point in time.
Go for the gusto.
Sorry, Man, but your post is irresponsible and misleading.
I've lived in Southeast Asia for the greater part of a decade. If you think it's some fast track to happiness, you clearly missed all the guys who have come here and completely lost themselves. I've been one at times. Some of them will never find the way back.
And you just gave a guy who is a prime candidate for addiction - due to his feelings of isolation, lack of purpose, and lack of social network - the advice to go lose himself in blow and booze and hookers.
Just because you described the romanticized version of it doesn't change what you're prescribing - in fact, it's worse because you're selling the dream to a guy who really shouldn't be buying it.
As far as exotic women, and I think another poster said hot exotic women, that too is a load of crap.
I mean, yes, there are certain situations where a stream of easy vagina can do a guy some good, but let's be honest here. Any guy who flies over here looking for a solution to his problems, and who probably doesn't have a lot of game as it is, is most likely going to be banging a stream of ugly sluts and prostitutes - not exciting and desirable exotic women.
OP also said quick hookups don't do it for him; I know it's hard to believe for some of you, but shallow sex does not make every man happy, and if that's his nature, it'll probably make it worse.
The high side of what you're suggesting is fun, yes, but the comedown afterward can be EXTREMELY dangerous for a guy who has issues with depression and suicidal tendencies. There's a very logical reason so many foreigners end it off balconies in Southeast Asia, and it's not because they slipped while enjoying the view.
OP, I've been there and done it (minus the blow), and I highly suggest you completely ignore this advice.

"The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe.
To be your own man is a hard business. If you try it, you'll be lonely often, and sometimes
frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself." - Kipling
