The question is not rather from a person that wonders how to find hope without scripture, rather then how do other fellow deists pull through the hard work and still have motivation to do anything, to live, especially those with suicidal tendencies. It is a worrying thought that doesn't leave me, I would like to know the answer because even if the deism somewhat helps me to move further, yet I still question how to survive the madness that's inside my head.

When you remove religion from your life, you need a replacement. I have found Transcendental Meditation to be a good alternative. As a person of science, I can confirm that Transcendental Meditation has demonstrated scientific benefits. https://www.tm.org/benefits/health. I'm not here to advertise the TM technique, but I do recommend it. I also believe in the core principles of Buddhism. Buddha, before what we now call the "modern scientific process," used scientific principles and told his followers not to blindly follow him, but to do"your own research." Buddhism is not a religion; it is a lifestyle. He challenged cults. Born a prince with access to luxury, he experimented with the opposite extreme and advised finding the Middle Path.Â
