Me, and I'll let you know if I figure it out

Had a half hearted not quite suicide attempt, call it a dry run. I want to die even more now, but I quit my job so I have nothing to stress me into acting on it so I spend every day doing nothing wishing I did

Things don't improve unless you improve them, and I've tried and tried and just made everything worse. People love to chime in "you'll get there eventually!" and no, I won't, because I just don't have it in me to try anymore. I've gotten worse at managing the ADHD, the depression has sapped my energy and motivation to nothing. I'm over being alive, but I refuse to hurt the people I care about so I'm stuck here until things get so bad I don't care about hurting others.
