Apathy
I am so tired of not caring about anything. It is very negative and I never thought of myself as negative. I was( am) a positive person.
What do you do about your apathy? I need some serious help!

Thank you Jessica H. I will check the articles out.
Thank you Mcrossley for your question. In my case, when I feel that apathy is coming on, I do positive self-talk and say to myself, "I have two choices. I can either do A or do nothing. I reason with myself about what is better to do. When I choose to do something positive against the apathetic feeling and do the activity, the apathy passes.

I am learning that is very helpful. Thank you☺️
To combat my apathy, I internally start to reason with myself. I think of the pros and cons of doing the activity that apathy interferes with me doing. Then I agree that the pro side has more benefits for me. I then begin the activity and continue doing it. The apathy becomes lessened. It works for me.😀 Marc M., Moderator, parkinsonsdisease.net
