What's some literature that will help me come to terms with the fact that life is never going to pass a certain threshold and 'get good,' yet that for every depression comes a rebound? That life is a constant cycle of disappointments and successes, of existential frustration and elation, and that this continues until it's finally over.
I feel like I've been raised to conceive of life almost like a video game, where if you put in the time and effort you'll level up and eventually 'win.' On a purely intellectual level I understand this to be inaccurate, but I still feel its residual effects lingering. I think I need to read something that actually demonstrates this cycle.

Also maybe consider seeing a therapist? You kind of sound like you're experiencing derealization.
