I have felt apathetic about most things in life for a while...over a year at least. Nothing sounds interesting. I'll buy tickets for my favorite artist's exhibition and then not want to go. I take one shower a week and wash my face once a week. I wear clothes repeatedly without washing them. I let dishes pile up in the sink for a week. And my dog walks around a yard riddled with little piles of poop.

I have tried to change. I went to the art exhibit even though I wanted to, and it turned out to be fairly interesting. After I take a shower, I realize how fast it goes and how I feel good afterwards. But overall I find getting the momentum to do anything is very very very difficult.

I don't feel hopeless and worthless like I usually do when depressed. Normally, I know I've slipped into depression when I want to die every day. I don't feel like that at all. That's a good thing.

Does this mean that I'm lazy? Does anyone else feel like this....what do you do to be at least somewhat productive?

I'm so sorry this is happening to you. Wish I knew what to say that would help. I have heard of something called limited-symptom depression but don't know anything about it. Hopefully others here with more knowledge will see your post and respond to it with helpful information.

To me you sound more depressed. I think if you were lazy those things wouldn't bother you. I have the same thing a lot and I know that it's not me choosing to not do things, I just can't. (I heavily blame this on meds as well).

That's a good point. These things do bother me. I don't know which one is worse -- being depressed or being lazy!
