Ah, yes I probably should.
Lack of will, not in the depression sense because that would be more like seeing no options and possibly a lack of willpower. You still (rather) have something you don't or you wouldn't be depressed, like not being depressed. The the more you lack a will, the shorter or less severe the depression, I believe, in general.
It's being satisfied with anything. It's a great achievement to have such a lack of will, it's like the highest stage of consciousness in some religions, but it's also very dangerous: you may believe nothing matters, which isn't the same thing. That's why it's half-wise and it can lead to homelessness for example, because anything is fine.
I have some of that. Sometimes more like BP, so less so, sometimes more like SZ, or just a mixture. It needs to be in balance: one isn't better than the other.
