Hello. I am suffering from very intense depression. Lately due to work burnout, I’m feeling broken and no longer find joy in any of my hobbies, including reading. It used to be an escape but now I fear I have lost hope that things will get better.
I love reading. I would love it if you could recommend me books that focus around the topics of depression and anxiety. Anything would be welcome. Books that made you cry, books that gave you hope, books that grasped you from the first page and transported you to a new world.
This is a last ditch effort for an escape from this reality and hopefully kickstart my journey to find happiness.
Please don’t worry about me, I’ve fought too hard and too long to give up. All I need is a little help. I’m just a stranger looking for your recommendations.
Thank you.

When Everything is Burning by Scott Eilers.
You should read The Way of Kings by Brandon Sanderson. One of the main characters is fighting an intense depression and winning!
Also, classics like Dracula and Frankenstein always get me into a good mood.
If you want more of an adventure I really enjoy Jules Verne books!
