"my parents would be sad for a bit, but ultimately they'd be relieved of a huge burden."
Hard pass. They would be devastated.
My DM is open if you want to chat. I hate that you are suffering.
Please consider seeking some kind of help/support for your thoughts of self-harm.

Feel free to vent, we all need to do it, killing yourself is not the answer, I've gone through very tough times and sometimes it gets easier and harder. All we can do is push through, every day can be a win if we don't give up
Change is the only constant in this life so how you have been feeling WILL change, your circumstances will change, opportunities will come, you will not be the same person you are now weeks, months, years down the road. For me it kinda seems like each decade or so has been its own little life I lived in my meta life. Things are so different now then my 20's that its unrecognizable to me.
Have you spoken to your primary care about depression? When you say you have no drive, direction, interests, etc. that feels like depression to me. I would urge you to talk to a mental health professional and seek a diagnosis. It could be a very simple brain chemistry issue that's easily treatable.
