I truly believe that nothing does really matter but i am still bothered by lookism and all the other disgusting aspects of life, is there someone else that seems to not be able to put a control over his emotions even if all the logic and the brain itself is against the emotions.

No it is impossible because you are still a human
You cannot think you way out of what you are
We are doomed to feel and worst of all smart enough to understand why we feel
The best thing you can do is remind yourself constantly that it is all just chemical reactions in your brain and your feelings don't mean shit

Existential is the true answer if you desire to have a good life. Man must give meaning to his own life, even if you can't become chad that doesn't mean you can't live a fullfiling life.
If you still desire to go the nihilism way then stop approaching nihilism in a philosophical way since it will only make you miserable. Nihilism at it's base derives from Schopenhauer's pessimism which is just a rebranding of buddhism. Look into zen buddhism as well as more religious approaches to it, it's the only way to adopt a "nihilistic" way of life in a way that doesn't hook you back in engaging with the "shallow" outter world.
 
I don't know what i believe in anymore tbh.

my mood can swing from being excited for the future to be miserable and knowing nothing will change in just 30 minutes

i have read a few of schopenhauer's books and they were quite interesting but they did make me miserable as you said. Is zen buddhism easy to get into?(your opinion)

i get a lot of mood swings and it basically isnt caused by anything, if of course i am not missing something. They were a lot more common when i was unhealthy so there is some improvement i guees.

Yes, it's by far the easiest branch of buddhism to get into. It derives from the chinese taoist tradition and it was built as a path of simplicity compared to other more esoteric and religious branches of buddhism (which I still recommend you to get into). I can send you some pdf books if you dont mind reading on a screen. I have a lot of books on the subject.

That would be great, i usually read on screen since I cant be bothered to order them or go to the library.
