Depression of apathy

Has anyone ever been depressed to the point of apathy? Where you begin to question if you really care all that much about your mental health...or anything in general?

I can't even convince myself about anything anymore.

Personally, I'm getting to the point where I'm not so sure I care anymore about myself, or anything around me.

I feel like a loose cannon.

My Pdoc says I have apathetic depression, so I need an activating antidepressant. I can't tolerate them though, so my depression improves on calming antidepressants, but the lack of desire to do more than the bare minimum, if I even manage that, is excrutiatingly troublesome.

are you on anti-depressants...sometimes they can have that effect too. I've been at that point too. A bit that way now. *hugs*

Deep depression IS apathetic. (((hugs)))

thanks for the hugs

No...I'm not any anti-depressants. Its just "plain old" apathy I suppose.

Sometimes in the mornings, I get a strong sense of "Ah it doesn't matter if I go to work." The odd apathy always surprises me because I have never been apathetic about life until I was trying to study and found myself feeling/thinking that it just doesn't matter. I found that it is somewhat tied to my sense of hope about the future. So, yes. I have a tendency to feel apathetic about life too.
