>>It kind of sucks!!
More than kind of!
That is definitely depression--another symptom. I used to feel that a lot--apathy, lack of interest. No concentration reading, etc. Now, since my depression is better, I don't have it much. But sometimes, a milder version of it resurfaces.
I found videos helped. Just load up on light movies.
And, I know this is going to sound like too much, but doing some kind of volunteering-nothing too hard.
For me, being around people helped. It was worst when I was alone, with total inertia, lack of drive to get out and do anything--nothing seemed interesting enough. But if I was out and around people I did feel better.
Sounds trite, I know, and way easier said than done.
