I'm passively suicidal if that's a word (I think I saw someone else use it and it kinda fits me I think). I wouldn't mind dying but I don't want to kill myself.

Hi Fox,
I have the same problem as you do. I was also diagnosed with Dysthymic disorder and recently have been going through the same symptoms as you. I am sleepy all the time and barely eat. I have also been having bad thoughts.
When I told my T, she said that it sounds like I have moved from dysthymic disorder to major depression. She had me talk with the doctor and I have started taking meds. I just started taking them, so I'm not yet sure how helpful they will be, but I'm hoping it helps.
Are you seeing a T? I think you might be having a major depressive episode like me and you should try to get some help.  I hope you start to feel better.
