> Have absolutely no interest in catching up on the lives of my friends. I ask them questions for hours but it just feels like such a chore. It's not supposed to feel this way. I don't even have any emotional reaction to the things they tell me. I have no thoughts or opinions regarding the things they say and must fake a socially-acceptable emotional response every single time. Been like this for two years now.

I am late to this thread and my 2d is that the sentences you've used here are textbook phrases of someone with depression.
> just feels like such a chore
> must fake a socially-acceptable emotional response
> This pervasive lack of interest applies to activities, toothis is precisely what depression does to us. You don't care jack about jack.
If you haven't done so already, find a PDoc who will keep trying meds until you respond and start to give a cr@p about things. Even a little cr@p.
