How to Deal with Apathy

Most people experience feelings of apathy from time to time. It is when this apathy is persistent and affects many different areas of life that it becomes a significant problem.

apathy is weird: i don't really care, but since i noticed that i don't care, i cared enough to understand why i don't care

[inmate]

i feel apathic with everything im in a constant state of not caring what goes on..

I like to wake up during a Sunday and find a video that talks about what I need.

I think family support, at least from my experience, is hard as hell because my mother or my uncles/aunts are more pragmatic and think apathy is just laziness.
Sports are my best cure for apathy so far.

Apathy has been a relief for me. I think my mind got so tired of worrying about sht and other peoples problems that it has begun to shut down at any sign of it. I welcome it. It has given me incredible relief from the anxiety that has haunted me. I’d rather be completely apathetic than filled with anxiety. It is what it is.

I'm glad I came across this video. I think I suffer from 'general apathy' and 'emotional apathy'. Taking small steps a great advice.

My apathy is so terrible that I watched this vid on mute and read the comments. 🤦🏽‍♂️

[derickndossy]

I feel like nothing matters, I don't care about anything even about being apathetic

It also helps to find comedy in the apathy you’re feeling, such as how some of the comments to this video, including this one, display sarcastic hopelessness inspired by apathy. Lol, it’s a sure sign that your message is reaching the right crowd.

Had an emotional outburst yesterday and today I woke up feeling numb.

I'm in that state, lost interest in everything, but I'm slowly recovering, thanks to Cole Hastings I've started to take cold showers, it's really hard, but when I force myself to do it, I feel better after, I feel, if I can do this, I can probably do other stuff, that is uncomfortable, it's the little steps like you said 💝

General apathy and compassion fatigue.
Someone is mad at me, idc. At this point I’m used to being ashamed and misunderstood from mental health and how that may affect my behavior and thoughts.
Oh something major just happened, I don’t have the mental energy to worry about anyone else…something is always happening

[freakish]

Sometimes I feel like apathy is just the will to live a simple life without any changes....I feel apathetic towards approaching people, socializing, go outside in general....this was probably because I grew up in a household where everything was timely even in the worst days

Routines may help people with Parkinsons get through a day and a week. Also many people with Parkinsons with clinical apathy also have executive functioning problems so breaking big tasks into a sequence of small steps is impaired. This is a barrier as well.

[BugsyB]

Apathy because life feels like there's no real purpose.

In short. We still understand nothing, refuse to address the source of the issue and have nothing to offer other than "set small goals" or straight up antidepressants, gotcha

Lol, this is going great :D

I have also gave up on some things, I don't know if it's apathy or just bring fed up. I decided to completely stop praying for so many people, they will never change. You can pray for parents, for Israel or even for grace. But what I'm tired of is caring for people that don't change their behaviors, let them pray for themselves. May Jesus Christ give me grace to not give up on people

For some reason these pieces of advice irritate me and make me feel hopeless and disappointed. It’s like “I know it’s good to take small steps, but what steps exactly? Towards what? What should I do with my life in general?”. Changing my routine is a nice thing, but sometimes I just DON’T want to do anything. Has anyone experienced that, and if yes, what would your recommendations be?

Seems like my problem is not apathy, but rather something else. Or maybe I don’t understand something.

I started feeling this a few days ago. I stopped logging in for school as the assignments stressed me out. I had a mental breakdown a few days ago, and now I don't even get excited to hang out with my partner. The work I'm in, I've started canceling out when I'm supposed to meet co-workers. I don't care anymore. Whatever happens, I'll accept it. I believe it's my brain becoming tired and having physiological problems and eventually saying to myself, “F this. I am not gonna make myself do things I don't want to and weigh out relationships. It's all about me.” yet I'm doing nothing. Can someone relate?

[Myrdrrr]

How can I watch for triggers if anything can be boring
