I do not think you should re-enlist. There are plenty of good reasons above in this thread, but I am more concerned with your perception that you're out of the fight, cannot contribute, and struggle to find direction in life.
I won't go into my personal details but I will say that this book, although it's designed for combat veterans, is wholly helpful to all who have served, struggled with depression after getting out, and PTSD. The book is "Once a Warrior Always a Warrior" by Charles Hoge. https://www.amazon.com/Once-Warrior-Always-Navigating-Transition/dp/0762754427
Remember what got you messed up in the first place and then think about what challenges face you if you were to re-enlist. If you need a battle, fight one in the gym, improving your education, and with volunteer service (Team Rubicon is already mentioned and this sub-reddit only has great things to say about them. I highly recommend them.)
The thing(s) you are likely missing most is that sense of camaraderie you have not had since getting out. You are not alone.
