/lit/ - Literature

I have been feeling like complete shit for the past few years. It started slowly but it's getting worse and worse. I don't enjoy anything, activities I use to enjoy (gaming, reading, building PCs etc) feels like a complete chore. Is there anything I could read to give me a new perspective on life? Something to get me out of this numbness? I fucking hate this. help pls

Honestly, what made you GIVE up writing? Was it the uselessness of it all? The impracticality of spending hours away with your own thoughts that ultimately led nowhere? To no grand conclusions or great realizations or at least not to the creation of purely interesting stories? The fact that you will never be wealthy from writing because let's face it?

What was it?

How would /lit/ write a depressed character?

Death of God, death of community, increase in individualism, further increase in social-economic disparity between the rich and poor, having to work at an Amazon warehouse, increase of drug use, lack of solid healthcare, crippling debt...etc etc.
