I think that it's important to realize that happiness isn't a permanent state of being. Life is full of highs and lows, and we have to try and make the best of our current moments. If this feeling persists for 2+ weeks, then I would consider speaking to a professional. Also, check out 7cupsoftea's self-help guides to see if there are any tips and pointers you can find on self care and mood boosts.

The first step? Don't worry about it. Worrying will only add anxiety. Things change -- everything is changing all the time. So, this will change, too. Perhaps not as quickly as you would like and not without suffering, but it will change.

Generally this numbness is a major feeling that overtakes a person when they suffer with depression. I would recommend looking back into the past and finding things you used to enjoy, and try to re-ignite that love you had for whatever it was (whether it be movies, games, friends, eating donuts, etc.). Even if it doesn't seem like it will work, emotionally retracing your steps and trying out things that used to make you happy usually leads to finding things that bring back that lost joy.

It happens to everyone at times that all the things in the world feel dull and don't tempt you. But that is temporary. Be patient, every feeling of excitement, enjoyment will come back.

Then there is an underlying issue. You need to take care of your problems before you can feel happiness again.

I have been here plenty of times. I find that I begin feeling unhappy when I am alone. I find I am unhappy when my children gave to go to school and I do not know what to do with my time alone. I spent so many years helping them grow and find that I forgot how to live. I am struggling with this but find that with each day it gets easier because I find crafts or take on extra hours at work...I tend to through myself into things fully because I need to feel needed.

First of all I feel like the Question can be interpreted in two ways at least. One being the hopeless version and secondly what else do I need thing, Fortunately I have not gone through the second route but a thousand times through that first phase. I believe that it was my past which made me hopeless about my future and made me reach at the point of why now! What else! But I was expecting myself to be happy someday, and I did have that hope. I will not lie, I had lost that many times but eventually I will get back to it. We all are having many reasons to be happy. I am grateful and happy that I am not one among those dying Syrians. We all have to feel happy realizing the fact that it is not me who is having the worst day of all time. For me faith and hope was very much interrelated. Every time I close my eyes and pray I did feel that Okay it is not meant to happen today, but someday. That tiny little hope could change everything for me. May be for all of us. I mean the belief that I did not come here by myself but somebody brought me here and he did have some purpose and he is not done with it probably. I mean our very existence is the proof that we all should have hope and there is a reason to be happy about. I have heard people saying that the ultimate happiness is when we find ourselves, our inner selves. I never digested the idea behind that. I feel like it is like the last point. So what is that there is nothing left anymore. But instead finding the god, his soul could be a possibility, then I do not thing anyone would be out of hope. And when there is hope there is a reason to be happy.

Such a horrible feeling when you realize it, right? But the good thing is that you acknowledged your apathy. Spend time doing the things you used to love and... Maybe find new ones! Maybe your apathy is just your brain telling that you need a change.
