Are you seeing a therapist? As it sounds like you need to talk to someone.

I know what it's like to know there are things to do but I can't get myself to do them. It's like slogging through wet cement that has almost set. Pick one thing and take care of it. even if it's putting, let's say, a book away. Yes, you probably have a lot to do but break them up into tiny little tasks. This might help you get motivated some to do things. Also, Dreamshadow's suggestion of talking to someone is a good idea. Sounds like you may need your meds tweaked.

I'm thinking of you tonight and people here care for you.. ( I have very similar feelings to the ones you just posted)..

I like all the comments and ideas here.

Here is one that helps me. Give myself permission to feel bad /lazy for a specific time frame, then make yourself do something small at first and check it off, then another . If you need to call it a day after doing just a few things fine . Start the whole thing over tomorrow ,, soon that big pile will get smaller and smaller . How do you chew an elephant? One bite at a time. Keep us posted ! Take care of yourself.

i feel the same way. and i've felt this way before. it's incredibly frustrating. but i think it helps to just allow yourself to feel whatever you feel or don't feel. expecting too much of myself eats my lunch every time. i think every person on the planet has a bad day every once in awhile. try not to worry about getting anything done that doesn't absolutely have to be until you can bring yourself out of this. slowly. gently. lovingly. be kind to yourself. you deserve it. maybe you just need a break. sounds like you have a lot going on.
i have had days that i felt like i did well to just keep breathing that day. and if someone else thinks that is unproductive...oh well. i don't really care what they think. do what you have to do for your own well being.

Lack of interest in things that you once enjoyed is a common symptom of depression. I have found that it is not possible to snap yourself out of it. Just get up everyday and try to battle it; don't give up. It is part of a cycle and your joy and feelings will probably come back, but there is no magic formula for doing it.

It is called depression you are sick and need to be looked after to get this sickness under controll ....you can start by telling a consular or phicatrist ezactualy how you feel or they can't help you ....you nost like need your meds adjusted.....and then you can try to live one day at a time one house at a time .. You can right all the things you need or want to get done and if you get to cross one off one day that's a win for you and if you don't tomorow isnew day .......I find that every so often I need to take a day to myself. Just don't make it a habit ...find somthing like a hobby and see if you can't get interested in it. Somthing creative .....I wish you all the best ...even if you are not interested in what you have chosen just keep at it ....it might take a while so give it a good try .....please take care of your self and be kind to your self ......god bless. And don't forget to talk about what it is in that hurts and has brought you to this point .........for me I have alwyase suffered from depression in runs in my dads Sid of the family and some of it came from life .............

I totally understand how you are feeling.
Every step of the way.

In order to survive, we have to fight through this bog, and get through, a little bit at a time.
Its hard, its soulless, just putting one foot in front of the other.
Just dont try to look too far ahead, or it will seem endless. One step at a time.

I am with you. its hard to believe. Losing interest in everything and why it needs to be done. Someone else can do it I'm tired. That's where I'm at too. I too need to just find little things to do besides the normal, shower,laundry,work,eating,cooking. I found by doing little things it makes it easier to get back at other tasks, but still have no interest in it. You will find your way out it just may take longer than you expect but stay strong.
