I, too, am light years from where I was and where I want to be. Apathy comes into play when I just feel like it takes to much energy to even care. By the way, the apathy seems to help, to a very small degree, because at least when I don't care then I'm not blaming myself and/or hating what I've become...
OK, I think I understand a little better. I, too, am very apathetic about things I used to enjoy, e.g., gardening. It just doesn't seem worth the effort because I don't believe it will help my depression. But I'm also very angry that the depression has rendered me apathetic. For me, it doesn't seem to be either/or. I'm apathetic AND angry.
Thanks for this!
