Is it normal to care about nothing at all

So apparently I have anxiety and depression bahahah, it's been about a year and I'm on some SSRI meds and all that. I've found for a while now I just don't care about ANYTHING. It's a bit hard to explain specifically, it's like I could be lying down in bed at 3am, wanting to die but laughing about it? I feel awful but I laugh about it? It's like everything is just nothing to me, people are nothing, my future is nothing, my values are nothing, I'd find it very easy to die I just cannot be bothered to go through with it.

If you were to talk to me I'd sound completely normal (aside from the crushing nihilism) and could laugh and joke with you, but simultaneously want to throw myself in a burning building. so yeah, thoughts?

    Well, it's clear you're depressed. I was extremely depressed at one point and I too would feel nothing. It was like this sense of uneasiness and it made me so miserable. I never went to a doctor, instead I would go on the internet to find solutions. I realized that I just needed to talk to someone and stop dealing with it by myself because it became unbearable. Eventually I told my family and they already knew I was but they thought by giving me space, I'd get better.

    Now, I can honestly say I'm not as depressed as I use to be. I've found a purpose (college) and I've made new friends.

    Love, just start doing something. Stop doing nothing during your days because it will get worse. Workout, walk, volunteer maybe even a job would help. So long as you're doing something, you won't feel so down.

    Best to you love!

    These are symptoms of depression. The meds you are currently on need to be reassessed. Tell your doctor about these symptoms. Perhaps a change in dosage or to a different medication is what you need to find joy in your life.

    And I on the other hand feel nothing for you! get a grip on life and stop blaming everyone else for your failure to "connect" with society, the World owes you nothing. I t is up to you to stop lying around wishing the earth could swallow you up and get off your lazy arse and face the World with all of its problems!

    Get out of bed right now, have a shower, wash yourself, make yourself presentable to the outside World and go out there and have a super duper arse kicking day!!!

    If however you cannot manage such a little feat, get fucked!

    Sounds like you need to find another doctor. Apparently the one you have isn't a very good one. Way too many shrinks today just dispense meds because they haven't a clue what to do to help their patients.
