> This apathy seems entirely unrelated to depression. I know what a depression feels like, coming on, and it's nothing at all like now. The feel of it is new to me. It's like I've pulled a muscle- a mental muscle- that I didn't even know existed. Or, to put it slightly better, it's like a mental foot falling asleep. To get up and do something is difficult, when it's never been difficult before.Oh, I believe you... And I think I know what you're describing... Kinda like a rubberband that's stretched out? If that makes sense?
I'm not sure -- maybe I feel that way, too, about now... I think I'm depressed, too, though.
Or, I know I'm depressed -- I think I am also apathetic in an unrelated sort of way... But, it's hard for me to tell...
Good luck, and do let us know what your doctor says...
