How can i start caring again?

I don't know whats wrong with me. I have alot of ambition but no motivation. I don't care about anything. I spend money like I have money which is not the case. I'm about to be a junior in college and I just cant seem to care about much. I dont know why. I don't care about what people say or think of me. I don't care about fashion. Not to sound cocky or anything but I am a pretty girl and I do like to dress up from time to time but I just don't care about whats new all the time. I have no interests in other people's business. What's wrong with me????


Answers:

It's apathy...and a symptom of depression. Short of seeing a doctor for treating your depression (depression isn't just about feeling sad all the time...it does have a lot to do with things like motivation and the 'blahs), try this:
Get a journal and track your thoughts. If you're passionate about something, chances are you'll care about it enough to persue it and give it your attention.
And make a list of all the things you're fortunate to have in your life as a reminder. People who appreciate the things they have tend to be more motivated to keep them. A bit of apathy isn't a bad thing, but when it interferes with your life, you may need to jump start yourself by reading and writing. That's the best way to record your thoughts so you can go back and take account of how you're progressing.
Find out what you love in life, give it some time and set some short term goals. As you achieve those goals, set some higher, more long-term goals. When you're not feeling motivated, short term goals are all you can really handle whether it's getting up at a certain time everday or working on a project for school.
It's all about passion! If you don't have it for anything, you'll likely continue to suffer from some apathy. I think it's closely related to burnout, which many students suffer from, especially during their last years of school.
