I think djmmm summed it up well. Anxiety is a strong emotional-type reaction, the opposite of which is calm/relaxation/contentment. What you're experiencing is the lack of any reaction - apathy, anhedonia. Apathy seems to be the lack of the negative state of anxiety, & anhedonia, the lack of the positive state of calmness, relaxation, contentment.
