I work full time through family connections. Nothing else. And in my original post I said "I just feel as though I don't really want anything from this life". That's a large chunk of the problem.

You don't have to let the label define you or hold you to this way of being. Many people come out of depressions.

It's hard to explain, but I sort of don't have the drive for self-growth? I'm not sure whether I experience it in episodes or not, because maybe the residual effect post-episode leaves feelings of discontent. I guess I've just been stuck in this "don't care/life is pointless" mindset for quite a while, and I don't know whether it is an actual clinical condition or a cynical/immature attitude.
