What's a small sign that someone has completely given up on life?

When everything is boring anymore like getting up in the morning doesn't excite them.

I don't think anyone is excited to get out of bed in the morning.

Wait I thought "getting up in the morning doesn't excite you" was just called being an adult o no

I can probably count on my hands the number of times I've been excited to get up in the morning other than being a kid at Christmas. Life is nice but it doesn't beat being asleep.

When you're exactly fifteen minutes up before the time you're supposed to get up.

I know somethings off when waking up doesn’t feel good. The world soon usually reminds me of how bad it is out there and I have a bunch of anxiety and depression, but everyday I’m still excited to see the sun, hear the birds, am happy to walk the dogs.

If the idea of hope doesn’t exist in your world, please seek help.

u/MotherPotential 17h ago

so is" given up on life" broader or narrower than depression? can you be one without the other?

u/Genocode 17h ago

Yes you can be depressed without having given up on life.

It's rarely loud. Usually it just looks like someone who stopped caring about everything

It's not always sadness, sometimes it's just the lights going out on everything you used to enjoy.
