Your symptoms are classic of clinical depression, caused by an imbalance of neurotransmitters (chemical messengers for nerve impulses) in the brain. This is an illness, just like any other, but symptoms present in a person's mood and behavior. It sounds like you are in somewhat of a vegetative state, just not wanting to do anything or be engaged in life. This type of depression responds very well to medication that can be prescribed by your physician. I would encourage you to talk to your Dr. about this, and see how much better you feel with appropriate treatment. Sometimes it takes awhile to find the right med and the right dose. Once the chemical balance gets restored, you could work with a therapist to help you get back into being productive, engaged, and solving whatever problems or issues you may be struggling with. You don't have to continue feeling this way. There is help for you. Some people with pervasive depression have an underactive thyroid problem. It would be wise to have this checked just to be thorough and not overlook a hormonal cause for the depression.
