I'm having the same problem. I'm not really sure when it started maybe two years ago. Things have been getting worse. I don't care about anything anymore. I feel numb or fuzzy all the time now. I don't feel depressed. I turn fifty this year but don't think it is a mid -life crisis. I use to enjoy playing poker, kayaking, pouring beer at brewfest, making my own homebrew beer and having friends over. Now I just don’t care. The thing is I still do all those things but it feels empty but that’s not the rights word for it. I wish I could feel empty at least that would be something.
My desire for sex had decreased and was down to once a month. My doctor put me on Bupropion to help relieve the sexual dysfunction. The Bupropion did seem to help increase my sexual desire. My wife does not like the side effects and has asked me to discontinue its use. I think it has helped me keep focus in school, my grades have never been better.
I am starting to do some very destructive things in my work, marriage and things I use to care about. My wife says that I have check out of the relationship.
Someone mentioned that this could be do to stress but I don't think so. My last job was very stressful, my current job has very little stress and I like going to work. That was over two years ago around when this started. I would hate to think I need stress in my life.
Has anyone found a name or treatment for this?
