How are you supposed to go through with it if you just don't have the energy?

Title. Can barely get up, doubt I have the strength to press on a knife hard enough or walk to somewhere I can drown.

Also struggling with energy deficit. Not sure why. I don't really know how to help you except by saying I feel the same.

I rarely feel energetic too. It's so hard to get out of bed. A few days here and there I am able to muster some energy. Maybe eventually you'll get the energy to go through with it?

You can be too immobilized to make a suicide plan. For that reason, a decrease in the symptoms of depression can increase the risk of suicidal thoughts or actions.

Antidepressants are known to do this, as odd as it may sound, if someone becomes more capable but their thinking doesn't shift then they may still feel trapped but with the potential of escape (by CTB).

I heard about that, stopped taking my antidepressants in late November but I'm still stuck like this unfortunately :/ I hope it's temporary at the very least. Really blows. Thank you for the response regardless

Oddly enough, when I've been the most lethargic and miserable I've still had the energy to commit suicide. It's like suicide is the only thing that could motivate me to do anything.

As someone who was recently diagnosed with ME/CFS as well as having a neurological sleep movement disorder, I don't know. I'll probably just end up hanging myself somewhere when the time comes. I don't even have the energy to go through the process of getting a firearm. I'll figure it out somehow because sticking around is not an option, that is if I don't want to be very sick and homeless and completely alone. Fuck that.
