Does Stoner count as depressing? I found it almost happy in a very stoic kind of way.
I thought Anna Karenina was a really comfy novel to read if you're in that depressed mood. Especially the final part when Levin is having his spiritual crisis.
That being said, any Russian novel is god-tier if you want to get your noggin joggin about life, depression and philosophy.

If you need a book to get even more depressed then Journey to the end of the night

I had Stoner on my shelf for the last year and never got around to reading it as I assumed it was about pot smoking university douchebags but I finally picked it up and my god it is phenomenal. Genuinely one of the best books i've ever read, going through Williams's other stuff now. Augustus is fantastic also

No books for this. Look around at the world. Choose something to care about.
Go out in style.

seeking help. Your post made me smile, thank you.
Just hoping a book can be a coping mechanism, not a motivation to end it.

I suggest "The Book of Joy." It's a little cheesy, but it's quite nice.
I hope you are able to escape this state of mind. In some moments, life can seem very meaningless and bleak; you can get better, though. Simply an optimistic outlook will change the way you interpret the world. Love is all around you, anon.
