In general, has reading helped you with depression or has it made it worse? I usually feel pretty good after a long session but only for like twenty minutes and then the horror comes back. Dostoevsky probably isn't helping but I can't stop reading him... I feel he vindicates my depression and it makes me strangely happy

Depression made reading better for me.

That's great! It means you don't have anhedonia, and probably your depression is just a phase, caused by consuming conventionally deep works of literature.
Think positive: you won't grow up a bitter person, but an interesting and cultured human being.
I recommend you to cling to that feeling of happiness. If your depression is real, you might forget what is happiness altogether, and that fucking sucks.

that's nice but have you considered getting into the religion of Dostoevsky? both reading about and practicing it might help your depreasion :)

Reading made me depressed until it helped me find purpose, which cured my depression.

Hopefully that makes any sense at all.

Reading Nietzsche was a horrible mistake, but Schopenhauer calmed me down.

it makes perfect sense since there is much more to learn from books than retards online or in the real life

Its a nice distraction from depression but depression can also cause me to just zone out and watch TV. Exercise is about the only thing that has actually helped it. But it never goes away and never will, have to learn to live with it.

OP how old are you? Outside of actual, clinical depression, getting out your early to mid twenties helps with mild depression.
