so now that I know life is meaningless, how do I respond to my suffering and depression?
Any books have the answer?

If you are in a state of depression you likely are unable to read any books. If you find yourself in this state of suffering, there isn't much for you to do but hope that it ends soon and not by your own hand. If you are stuck in a state of ennui, then go to the gym and start reading continental philosophers and the great writers.

Just be happy, bro, but don't have any hope because hope is philosophical suicide.

aren’t there a couple things you can do to ameliorate the situation?
regardless, you won’t find answers in a book. it’s even more useless than looking for a cure in alcohol.

If you are physically able to the gym, or do any physical activity, do that. Worry about reading and studying later.

the answers to all your major questions are within yourself, you just need to have the will to search deep into your soul and they will come to you and guide you through
