Do you feel doomed?
Our time here is limited, and the losses of past years are irrecoverable. Time continues relentlessly. What guarantees are there that anything will change in the future? None.
Do you experience significant anhedonia?
How is your anxiety level?

Somehow, it sounds more comfortable and peaceful to give up and to no longer push. The effort to function and remain a part of society is immense and can be overwhelming.

It is not so uncommon that people who have the greatest of characters fail to recognize it. Look in the mirror. You will see what I'm talking about. I happen to be very impressed by your character.

Some see things as they are and ask why.
I dream of things that never were and ask why not.
