I'm not suicidal, but I'm not willing to put up a fight to remain alive. If that makes sense?
I'm just wondering if there's any special name for that state for when I next talk to my doctor.

That makes complete sense, since I've experienced that. Not so long ago I was having chest pains with heart attack symptoms and I seeked no help for it because I thought I was going to die, and it's what I actually wanted. But, they went away again and I survived. What's the worst is the disappointment I felt when it didn't kill me. So, I don't know if this is what you're maybe referring to, but, yes it's definitely that feeling of letting yourself die - maybe a lack of "sense of self-preservation".
I think the other one where you want to die, or even think of suicide, but never carry it out and rather leave it over to some freak accident is suicide ideation.
