so you just don't feel like jumping? Then when you feel like doing something, it aint jumping?
but you are right of course. Apathy is a large part.
It's more like I want to disappear, but I don't have the energy or will to carry it out.
I've been depressed/sad and suicidal in the past (those are scary times for my loved ones), but depressed/apathetic is my normal state. I think about suicide a lot, but I doubt I'll ever actually do it.
