Becoming Christian after suicide attempts

I apologize if this is heavy, it is just something I've been thinking about a lot in recent weeks.

I have personally attempted to end myself four times, and it is truly shaking me at a fundamental level. I can't help but wonder if I actually succeeded at one point and everything I am doing currently is just a fantasy as I mentally perish, but also I can't help but wonder if I have a reason that I have survived. Maybe it isn't my time to go. I know it's asinine but I can't help but wonder why I am here and others who have done similar things to me are not. I guess I'm just wondering if others have had such revelations or experiences that began from such a turning point. I'm a woman in my early 20's and previously I never considered religion in any capacity, but I feel like it is calling to me to change my life and to believe in something deeper. Any thoughts or anecdotes from those who can relate would be sincerely appreciated. Thank you ❤️

I think the interesting thing here is that this is a favorability rating, and not a simple "who would you pick" which can be argued is a name recognition contest at this point in time. Another thing I found personally interesting was Tucker Carlson's unfavorability, since online I see a sentiment that he is capable of weaseling his way into being rhetorically strong or would be a strong contender. However it appears that voters seemingly see through inauthenticity, or maybe they just continue to not like him.

I just want to expand my skillset a bit so that I can be even better in discussions. Any interesting books or online courses you all would recommend? I'm considering learning R so that I can compile and present data myself, good or bad idea? I know this is a bit of a unique question but it didn't seem to violate the rules so any advice is appreciated haha.
