[Help] Help me understand pendulum divination

[Inimaris]

I've started only yersterday, so it might be just because I'm a rookie. So I wanted to learn divination and started with pendulum, I just made a makeshift one for the time being out of my keys and some rope. I've learned to condition it with facts, and it does answer right every time. Yesterday I've asked some questions, and the divination for positive. Today thought, after conditioning it I've asked several questions. Just to clarify, I've been feeling extremely distressed because of personal issues. Usually I'm happy with just being alive, but today something was tolling on me. So after asking some quesions that stress me out I got all unsatisfying asnwers, which is fine. Then I asked it "Is it worth it to continue living for me?". I'm gonna say right away that I'm not suicidal and would never consider that, like I said, despite all the issues I love being alive in this world and will always do no matter what. So my pendulum just asnwered - no, and with similar questions it responded similiarly. Is that because of the distress in the moment pendulum gives me these answers? Am I doing something wrong? Even though I know better than the pendulum what's good for me, these answers just saddened me even more. Are the things the pnedulum says true, or they just mirror how you are feeling in the moment? I do believe in divinations, I have friends who are skilled with tarot and their predictions actually came true. My main question is - should I even consult with pendulum if it answers like that, is it just me being a beginner that may cause that? Or is it that you aren't supposed to ask questions like that, cause I know for sure that I want to alive, for many things I do. Sorry if that feels unrelated to the forum, but my question is should I even continute divining that way?

Not to mention that I just asked it if it always says a set and stone truth and it asked yes, this bastard did. Is my pendulum posessed by a demon or corrupted with negative energy?

Is it worth it to continue living for me?

Never ever ask such a question.
I thought there was a good Pendulum tutorial on here, but I can't find it anymore.

If you distrust it, it's better to make a new one (I personally do not use pendulums by the way) but please do not ask these type of questions that can make you very sad and unstable

Edit:
@Mhemhotep has shared a book on it just today:

Should I ever ask life-long questions or is it better to stick with certain time periods? My friend once told me that tarot divinations that take a time period more than 4 months are extremely unstable and unreliable as you may take many turns on the road of destiny? It's even weirder that when I asked a similar question to the once before, and it contradicted itself, but the question is kind of different anyway. I'm actually waiting for my real pendulum, cause this one is just a makeshift one. I'll check out the guide though, but I'm probably won't be messing around with it today anymore. But the fact that this guide was shared just today reinforces my belief of a pre-planned by destiny life events, there are many coincidences in my life that feel to weird to be a coincedence, this one is just a minor compared to other stuff I exprienced, but I find it funny it was shared just when I needed it
