Have any works of fiction helped improve your outlook?

As a shut-in, I've played a lot of story-focused games over the years. Something I've noticed as I'm approaching my breaking point, is that while a lot of them have uplifting messages about hope and faith in tomorrow, I always find them way too general to apply to my own situation as someone with physical and mental disability, and I just end up feeling hollow.
Are there any movies, books, shows, games, etc that have actually succeeded in giving you will to live? I'm interested in hearing any stories about it.

when i was in high school, reading charles bukowski's poems helped me a lot, specifically "nobody but you". i would say poetry in general can be very helpful. i think art centered around moralistic messages isn't very helpful. im more interested in something that touches my heart or makes me feel understood. i have a lot of favorite poems that i reread from time to time.
