Please have an: evaluation by a psychiatrist as soon as possible. It's not so much a matter of "normal" or "abnormal", yet there are all sorts of reasons that your disinterest may be occurring. However, medical causes must be ruled out and if there is indeed a medical reason for this, appropriate treatment can be implemented. Please present to the ER immediately if you feel like harming yourself. Good luck!

Depression: Depression is extremely common. However, the most important thing for you to realize is that your life can get better. You can create a purpose for yourself. Believe in yourself and that you can change your life. Seek help from a psychiatrist and try cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). Please read about CBT. I recommend you exercise and eat a healthy diet and work hard to improve. It's possible.

Why not get help?: You are describing a situation of someone who is depressed. There is a very good chance that you would benefit and feel much better if you have treatment which may be medication, therapy or both. Treatment works. Please give yourself a chance and speak with your doctor about getting help.
