I rarely get the really deep depression, but what experience is a rather constant state of apathy, for lack of a better word. It's not that I don't care about things, because I am someone that cares a lot (and this is why I have anxiety issues, as well), but I don't really derive joy from anything. I find things funny, and I enjoy certain activities, but if you were to ask me what makes me happy I genuinely have no real answer.

These mental conditions manifest in people in many different ways. It's really interesting when you see how differently these things can impact different people.

You have no idea how close this is to describing my thoughts and feelings. (Are you in my head right now?) It comes and goes and it’s very much like apathy towards almost everything in life. The only true joy I feel is seeing my son smile. He’s only four months old, so it’s the little things right now. But he literally lights up my world everyday.
