    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 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.

    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.

    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.

    Yeah, I hear you! It's like, what small steps?! I don't feel like doing anything. The only thing that has ever helped me break out of the rut is doing something uncomfortable, like walking in the woods at night or rock climbing (maybe not too high that you can die if you fall) but just something outside of your comfort zone. It (sometimes) invigorates me.

    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

    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?

    I’m not sure why apathy is even considered a bad thing! I have come to the realization that perhaps apathy is the best thing to happen to me! I think this world is full of contradictions and places too much unrealistic expectations on people hence people either endure suffering for the rest of their life and fake it until they die living a lie that everything is alright that life was purposeful or they can surrender and accept by coming to the realization that life is not designed to have any meaning or purpose and such ideas are self centered considering we are merely tiny specs in comparison to the entire universe so we are no different than the ants 🐜 we step on! Apathy has made me realize that all efforts are usually wasted in vain for pursuits designed to fail or are unsustainable to maintain in the long run. I noticed the day I stoped caring and went with the flow my life was actually giving much better results than trying to achieve the unachievable! Apathy is a negative label used by those who want to continue an exploitive system by allowing to enforce the expectations of others hence happiness will always be temporary at best. This World is waking up and apathy is showing up in many forms such as the “quiet quitting” movement in the workplace and declining birth rates as more young adults are not motivated to have kids. Of course it’s the interests groups such as employers and government agencies that rely on pension distributions making the complaints about this not because they care about your well-being but because their self interest is not being fulfilled at the expense of your suffering! I’ve accepted to live my life until I naturally die but only under the condition that I will live it with apathy and going with the flow! No longer caring about the expectations of this strange world! I honestly think life is just like prison and by choosing to live I just see it as serving my time in prison until death comes to take me! We weren’t given the conscious freedom to decide if we wanted to be born or not but was forced to whether we like this life or not!

    I feel like the attitude of going with the flow and being apathetic are separate things. From my personal perspective, I experience apathy as a general lack of emotion, while going with the flow is just having the ability to move through life, thoughts, emotions, and experiences without getting hung up on them. And while emotions can be messy and negative, they serve such a wonderful purpose and hold the essence of life. Experiences on this earth are meant to be felt, it’s just learning how to deal with them that determines whether the emotions will be fruitful for you or a hindrance to you. But you can experience all the emotions that exist on the spectrum while still going with the flow and having no expectations for the outcome. I guess everyone is different, but I like that I’m so caring, even at the expense of having to feel deep pain and sadness sometimes. I draw a lot of creative inspiration from that place, so the absence of any emotions at all, even the less enjoyable ones, kind of scares me. It’s all a balance.. I’m just wondering why I don’t feel things as deeply as I used to:/ this is just a random girls opinion though

Throwing a blanket statement such as, “Doctors don’t have the answers” is just straight up not practical. Many doctors in various settings and specialties actually do have the answers since we generally know there are various causes to apathy. There are plenty of professionals out there that work with the individual suffering to get to the root of the problem, whether that be physical or mental. Nobody claims for these pills to be magical cures, but they can certainly add a much needed boost when all else fails. Sure, plenty of docs chronically overprescribe, poly pharmacy is a definite problem, but that’s not every single prescriber. It all depends.

    It’s funny that I’ll watch something like this and it won’t be directly related to the video, but I’ll still end up getting what I need. It’s like going to an AA meeting, barely paying attention, and you figure out what you need to do. Thanks. Edit: The short version of what I figured out was in line with the winner effect. I didn’t feel like going after any wins though. I thought about indulging in a hedonistic activity, but really didn’t even want to do that much, and then I counted to 5, opposite of Mel Robbins’ technique to countdown, because there’s no anxiety so I don’t actually need it for that, but it helped me complete something, a win. Then I counted to 10. Another win. Started chanting God’s name. Another win. Then I thought about pranayama. I just kept building from there, and even sharing this with y’all is another win. Funny thing is I’ve been building a way for my students to process their emotions and I’ve been moving just fine for a good while without any issues, and then I just didn’t feel like doing anything. I think I was possibly feeling overwhelmed without realizing it. I did some EFT tapping right before, which I still found useful because I know it gets both sides of the brain talking to each other.
