“I don't want to live anymore”

What could be going on

Major depression: Hopelessness with low mood, sleep and energy changes could be depression; check for two weeks or more.

Learned helplessness: Fits if nothing you do seems to change anything; check whether options feel closed off.

Anhedonia: If nothing feels enjoyable, life can seem pointless; check whether pleasure has gone.

Burnout: Long exhaustion can turn into wishing to stop everything; check workload and rest.
