I can understand where you are coming from since I occasionally feel the same way. I try different techniques to overcome the feelings when that occurs, including changing my routine, going out, either outside or somewhere fun, or even taking a relaxing bath.
There is some very general information on what can cause apathy and what a person can do about it on
www.Wikipedia.org/wiki/apathyApathy (also called impassivity or perfunctoriness) is a state of indifference, or the suppression of emotions such as concern, excitement, motivation and passion. An apathetic individual has an absence of interest or concern to emotional, social, or physical life. They may also exhibit an insensibility or sluggishness.
Often, apathy has been felt after witnessing horrific acts, such as the killing or maiming of people during a war. It is also known to be associated with many conditions, some of which are: depression, Alzheimer's disease, Chagas' disease, Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, dementia, Korsakoff's Syndrome, excessive vitamin D, Hypothyroidism, general fatigue, Huntington's disease, Pick's disease, progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), schizophrenia, Schizoid Personality Disorder, Bipolar Disorder and others. Some medications and the heavy use of drugs such as heroin may bring apathy as a side effect.
Relationship with depression:
John McManamy argues that although psychiatrists do not explicitly deal with the condition of apathy, it is a psychological problem for some depressed people, in which they get a sense that "nothing matters", the "lack of will to go on and the inability to care about the consequences". [4] He describes depressed people who "...cannot seem to make [themselves] do anything", who "can't complete anything", and who do not "feel any excitement about seeing loved ones".

__________________________
He acknowledges that the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders does not discuss apathy. In a Journal of Neuropsychiatry and Clinical Neurosciences article from 1991, Dr Robert Marin MD claimed that apathy occurs due to brain damage or neuropsychiatric illnesses such as Alzheimer�s, dementia, Parkinson's, or Huntington�s, or else an event such as a stroke. Marin argues that apathy should be regarded as a syndrome or illness. [5]

So my suggestion to you would be to talk to your health care provider and see if you can figure out what is causing you to feel like this. There may be some medication(s) that would be able to help you overcome some of this.
As for me, I did have a stroke, which can be a cause of this condition according to this information, and that is one of the main reasons that I seem to struggle with apathy. I am on medications that seem to help. I wish you luck. I'll be here if you want to talk to me or any one of the other people here who can help.
God bless you.
