the Book of Disquiet, anything by Kafka, a ton of stuff really since most writers are self obsessed failures. Just read a lot and you'll come across this stuff all the time.

Definitely give it a read, it's really short. I couldn't put it down and finished it in one sitting and really related to the mental state of the MC. The fact that it was semi-autobiographical also made the story a bit more potent.
