Hi Einherjar (You haven't happened to have played Valkyrie Profile have you?)

I don't know about you, but to me Apathy has always been somewhat compounded with depression. I'd usually state that I was apathetic but really I felt depressed, and thoughts of pointlessness would surface. Then I'd be apathetic and not want to do anything.

I think the fact that you feel you should do something about it shows you aren't entirely apathetic. Rather you have concern for your own personal well-being, which is a good step in the right direction. I think school to some extent is very important but if this apathy is getting in the way of normal everyday functioning, I would agree with you that this should be your number one priority.

I think a loss of purpose is exactly what's going on. However, have you actually ever tried asking yourself that? Like honestly ask yourself. If you can't come up with an answer, I think it's perfectly fine. Many of us don't have purposes yet, at least life purposes. But is there anything that you do want to achieve? Any goals or desires at all? Try to tap into that. I suggest maybe taking some time to think about. I'm sure you have plenty of chances to think things over.

I've never gone through a situation like having my parents divorce so I don't know how much my own experiences can help you. Though I do hope that you can possibly touch the light, even in the deepest darkness. I think a positive attitude and energy go a long way. And that's why were all here. We're all here to give each other support and motivation to go after what we really want. And I sense, at least for now, that you want to get help, you want support and you want some people to talk to. So I guess the best thing to do is to keep your chin up, and seek out others who lead you in a positive direction. Maybe your friends or other family members, and of course, we're all here.

So if you desire help, there's lots of it. I can sense this community is growing really fast and in a really positive light. Most of the people I've seen here are very friendly and willing to give their two cents. This is why we're all here. Hope that helps.
