Reading self help books won’t magically fix shit for you. You have to go out and make it happen.

You have to put what they say into practice, y'know. Reading alone won't do a goddamn thing.

Thinking books will help you without acting is like buying a showel and think it will dig a hole in the ground by itself.

Lol, jkjk
I'm gonna assume the OP attempted to apply the knowledge he gleaned from the books he read. Shit is hard, son. Self help for depression might not be a good idea. Depression is a sly trickster and it'd be easy to read books with the expectation that they would help. When they dont, it wouldn't be unreasonable for a person with depression to internalize it and conclude that they're the reason why it didn't work, further exacerbating their depression.
