It's like when you're being verbally abused you don't care either unless it threatens your existence. And even in that case you're not mad at the person who's verbally or physically abusing you but the circumstances. Moreover, I can't enjoy nothing that I used to enjoy: neither music, nor reading, nor movies. I slept 10 hours last night. The first day it was 13 hours, the 2nd day - 12... It never happened before unless I was tired or smth.
Most importantly, enjoying smth. is still not as important as loving someone or caring about someone. Plus I completely lost sense of what good and evil is; actually, I know what they are but it's simply a memory now, knowledge but not the feeling itself. I went to church and they didn't give me the answer. What is happening? Is it temporary or for good? When will I CARE AGAIN?

This is apathy, not depression and all I want is not a dream or anything: I want to 1)MOST IMPORTANTLY love/care about others; 2) enjoy what I used to enjoy; 3) live

About GOOD & EVIL. To me, feeling the difference between good & evil used to be this piece of evidence that it's not smth. that we learn, we REALLY FEEL what is good and what is bad. And I don't feel it anymore: I know it but it's nothing but a memory; before that, it wasn't.

I REPEAT: I'M NOT DEPRESSED, THIS IS APATHY. WHEN YOU'RE DEPRESSED, YOU'RE SAD AND UNHAPPY. THIS IS RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE: YOU LITERALLY DON'T FEEL ANY EMOTIONS (NEITHER SADNESS, NOR HAPPINESS) AND YOU DON"T CARE ABOUT ANYBODY OTHER THAN YOURSELF.

It sounds like you are depressed, those things you described sound like me when I get depressed. It also sounds as if you are apathetic which goes along with depression. Talk to your doctor there are a lot of medications out there that can help you get past this :o) Good luck

It sounds like the blues, and if it's something that's lasted longer or you've battled in the past, it could be depression, especially given the oversleeping and apathy.
Perhaps you'd feel better if you took a walk in the woods and spent some quiet time reflecting on good/evil. Church doesn't really help much, in my experience, but then again it might help you.
If it is depression, it really depends on what you do. Untreated, it lasts about 8-10 months and tends to cycle back at least once more in your lifetime. Treated (with medication, counseling, or really talking with a good friend), it may still happen again, but you will probably feel better within a month on meds, and just not as bad for the 8-10 months otherwise.

The ladies who answered by saying it was depression are correct, one of the symptoms of it is sleeping often,
you sleep because you just want things to pass, you want nothing but soothing sleep.
Don't let this be any worry to you, i too feel the same but for some reason, I'm always highly optimistic so whatever i do im not affected because i still feel happy. and when i am affected i recover in a day or two.
I see you cant enjoy what you used to love, please go to a private place, and see in yourself, what is holding you back?
what is making you sad? stressed? what makes your mental brain just loose interest in anything?
after that, it seems like you lost a goal, a goal in your life that kindles you. what do you want to accomplish in this life?
small or big, find it and you will back to yourself,
its also possible that you are just tired doing the same old thing
so change your life, its time for you to CREATE A NEW YOU.
Let this excite you, start off fresh and new, discover any childhood dream or fantasy and lead it. Listen to anything that is completely new to you, see what happens.

Your is my problem too,,,,i often feel something like that,,,you know why, because i have to bear all those unbearable things that are really really very bad,,,i really don't want to do all that but I can't help myself and I can't share my inner delimma with anybody, at this point I also find myself like I am in a dark hole, this is a kind of escapeism, when you sleep more (but that is not a sleep) and you still find yourself tired, because you have a constant burden on your mind and soul, the confliction between right/wrong , good/bad, is very strong, you are a peace-loving person and have a very good heart but because of some bad situation you are forced to do what you don't like and perhaps are not normal, the contrast between your outer and inner personality irritates you, one thing be "one", don't live a dual life, try to accept yourself whatever you are, and love yourself whatever you are, don't loose heart, be optimistic and trust in GOD....try to express yourself, thru writting or some other art activity, it will certainly help you.

You're depressed most definately - there doesn't always need to be a reason for it as it can just hit you out of the blue like a virus. Just as quickly as this has come on so can thoughts of suicide & self harm. Please get help. Depression is only temporary for most people but it will go away with treatment. please speak to someone about this. I lost my previous partner & father of my first child to suicide & it really hits a tender spot with me. Take this seriously please.

It sounds like you may be depressed right now. It would help to speak with a counselor, figure out what is triggering it so you can overcome it. good luck!
