Read Infinite Jest, it'll take you months to finish it and you'll forget you're depressed.

are you meme'ing me or is it actually immersive enough to help out?
Cause I don't have unlimited time to spend on non-school work
>>7865957
It is but I actually found it making me more depressed in a way.
It also takes a bit to get immersed in it in my experience but its definitely worth it

I read Hitler, still no Nazi. Where did I go wrong?
>>7865972
Kay, I'll check it out.
Still interested in shorter works also though if anyone can help me out

John Clare, Thomas Hardy, Milton (sonnets), Sappho and George Herbert are my usual refuges.

Anon your fucking retarded. If you think a book will cure your depression it's no wonder your depressed.
What you need is Max Stirner. Start with The Ego and Its Own.
Anthem by Rand.
I don't agree with all of her philosophy but I'd be lying if I said Anthem wasn't the most invigorating, inspirational novel I've ever read.

Ultimately, I would recommend looking into Buddhist philosophy (a good primer is "The Book: on the taboo against knowing who you are" by Alan Watts, very short but wise read). You've got to realize, OP, that your happiness doesn't lie in the outside world. The idea that "I would be happy if I just had x" is an illusion, because once you satisfy one desire or need, another comes to the forefront. The only place to find happiness is within you. Learn to appreciate the present moment for what it is, not for what it (in your opinion) lacks.
That said, if you're interested in romantic poets, I would recommend Keats's odes :^)
I highly suggest Ulysses.
Everything about that book screams charm. Even the use of language is somehow engaging, meaningful and ridiculously charming.
I'm rereading it for the 3rd time currently and so far it's the same experience as it is everytime. It makes me far more positive and I stop contemplating suicide whilst reading it.
If legit not trolling I would read a book on proper diet. I was diagnosed aspie 2006 and got cleared of it a couple years ago. The only change I made was cleaning the fuck up out of my diet. No sugar, no shitty fats, no fruit.
Philosophy is nice and all, but trying to outthink a failing body is impossible.

Alll it takes to get me out of depression is a couple little reminders that my life isn't hard at all. Many others got through much worse. That eating something solid and getting coffee in me does the trick most of the time.
