Last year when I was a NEET, I had a lot of free time, but that isn't as great as you may think. This meant I had a lot of time for the fact that I am a complete loser to sink it. I am a 31 yeards old KHHV still living with my parents, with no friends, working a stressful and horrible entry level call.
Meanwhile, most of my peers had already started to get married and have children, while I didn't even get the chance to hold hands with a woman yet...
This caused me to be highly suicial, and the cope I call mental distraction has helped me a lot.
I came to the conclusion that pain is essentially your mind focusing actively on something bad. So the solution is to keep your mind busy with something else, and keep your thoughts elsewhere, so that the realization you are an ugly subhuman cannot fully sink in hurt you.
I use what I call mental distraction to shield myself from these thoughts and it can several layers. The more layers you add to it, the more effective it is.
Here is an example of the mental distraction technique I use:
Layer 1: a white noise ASMR video (fluffy mic scratching, 50% volume)

Layer 2: a second ASMR video playing at the same time (kisses, 50% volume):

The first two layers are entirely auditory.
Layer 3: playing a low mental load game like Minecraft (100% volume)
Layer 4: playing a YouTube video by using the Picture-in-Picture feature of Firefox to add it as a pop-up visible while playing Minecraft (50% volume), looking something like this:
The example is an Asmongold commentary video, which doesn't take a lot of brain power to process
So there can be 4 active layers, all running at the same time keeping your mind busy and distracting you. Listening to two different white noise ASMR videos while playing Minecraft and watching a YouTube video.
It's greatly effective
And if you want to get crazy with the auditory stimuli, you could add Layer 5
Layer 5 (optional): playing music (25% volume).

Layer 6: getting high or drunk
In my case, it's always getting drunk as I can't get access to stuff that makes you high. But being buzzed makes you feel better and acts as an amplifier for the other stimuli.
Layer 7: turning on my dehumidifier device which creates a low, steady humming noise.
So you could have four auditory layers, one interactive layer, one visual layer and one chemical layer. You are overstimulating your mind with all these sensory inputs that it doesn't get the chance to focus on the bad thoughts.
This is how I beat depressive and suicidal thoughts
