My friend it's never too late to find love. You're still a relatively young man. I mean 35 years old may be old in your mind but trust me you're still a young man. Bottom line I'm sure there is a nice young woman out there just a lonely as you are, and most likely she wishes she could meet a special person.
Have you considered joining a Church community? Many Church communities have a singles club. They socialize and do all kinds of fun things. In time you will form lasting friendships and you'll begin to feel much better about yourself and your situation. Also I found that working in social ministries at my Church has given me many many wonderful hours of peace and happiness. I moved around a lot in my job and the first thing I did when I moved to a new town was seek out the local Church, and their social ministry. The most recent ministry was working in a ministry that provided free meals to the homeless. Trust me, there are people out there who are really suffering, lonely, and feel abandoned.
Besides as you get involved in ministry you will acquire a reputation as a good compassionate person and that gets around a community. Then most likely that "special person" will one day appear out of the mist (figuratively speaking). But most important you will find there are people who are just as lonely and hurting as you are.
You're honest and you're hurting. I'm sure there is a young lady out there more than willing to love and affirm you. A person who needs you just as much as you need her.
Good luck!

Dont get me wrong. I appreciate the perspective, but damn I am a senior executive with a Fortune 500 company and am working my balls off since shite hit the fan, and I aint even considered essential. Therefore envious af.
If I were you I would be wearing out my life-like sex doll, hammered everyday, and grilling my arse off. shite, go adopt a dog, or cat if thats your style. At least if you off yourself, a dog may miss you for a day or so.
You have ZERO liabilities, enjoy it. There are alot of individuals, particularly small business owners, tourism related workers, and those with dependents, that are in a worse position.
Pro-tip: Ignore the shitastic MSM, they are likely fueling your desire to suck start a shotgun (even though you deny it repeatedly).

Get on a legit Web Site and find a nice young lady

All I can tell you is that if you want to change your circumstance, you have to do something different.
Think about what you want, and then make a plan to go get it. Don't just talk about it or think about it. Actually do it.
You mentioned you were working out and were seeing progress. You didn't just magically get into better shape. You decided to make a change and work out, and you went out and did it. It's the same with anything. You have to decide to make a change and go for it. 35 is young. Decide on a change and go for it. That's my advice.

Go outside for a run, get some exercise. Maybe listen to a humorous podcast about toilet paper hoarding or something while you run. I'm pretty sure parks and such are still open.

Nah life is too short to worry about what you can’t control. Make the best of the situation. I’ve been doing some fishing to get out of the house.

Dude you need to plan something exciting. Plan a trip.
Just because you cant go now doesn't mean you can't plan it now.
It will give you something to look forward to. Being single has it's advantages. Use them. Do exciting shite.

Honestly just stop being a pussy and get some perspective. You know how many people who died prematurely of cancer, car accidents, murders, etc. Would give anything they could have to still be here alive even in in this shitty situation?
We will get past it. The entire world is going to learn something from this mess. We have been fortunate in our lives to not have been forced to enter the draft or deal with any other major catastrophes that put the entire world on hold. We were well overdue for something to happen. We will learn from this and things will eventually be better than before this whole thing started.

Well, the good news is that this will all pass at some point and everything you’ve listed as a problem is something you can fix.
So, yeah, maybe instead of whining to a bunch strangers you could start listing out the things you want to change and then go live the life you want when this passes.
Or indulge in more self-loathing and seek attention on the internet. Up to you I guess.

An existential crisis is not a rare thing. Life IS suffering. You can’t escape it. And you can’t be happy all the time-its not humanly possible. So you have to pursue a MEANINGFUL life knowing that pain and unhappiness and loneliness is part of the human condition .
If you are socially isolated, I would suggest a few things. One is meditation/reflection. If you are a reader- I would read or listen to some of the Stoics, like Marcus Aurelius- learn how they dealt with suffering and doubt. And then I would engage the natural world with a vengeance. Get outside and walk your world. Sit on the grass, go for a hike, plant a garden. Reflect and kind of deep dive on the nature of man and the human condition to fortify yourself BEFORE you get back out there socially after all this passes. Eventually you will have to engage though. Make a new friend, ask someone you trust for advice . A career change might be part of that, maybe a change in location etc. You don’t have to accept your current status as permanent. You can make the changes you want to have a fulfilling life.

I'm completely lost at this point and have no clue what to do. While I won't commit suicide (trust me I don't have the guts to do it, lol) part of me would be okay just falling asleep and not waking up. My dreams are better than my reality. So many of the people who are dying from the Coronavirus shouldn't die, they have so much more to offer the world than I do. If I could transfer the Coronavirus from them to me I absolutely would.
Go volunteer somewhere. Seriously. It will help you have a purpose, let you accomplish something, and even give you some community

Get some exercise daily. Lower your alcohol intake.

35 isn’t old. Stop throwing yourself a pity party and make the life you want.
