I do CBT and my therapist has been pretty good about understanding what I can (get out of bed) and can't (eat or clean or socialize - actually I'm doing a little better than that, but that was the truth 6 months ago) do. And she's really good, if she wants me to do something and I try and it is too much, about trying a different idea.
That said, I understand about not caring. Not having the energy to care. I have something (my daughter) that keeps me alive and trying. But as I embark on a new chapter of my therapy, I retain the right to decide that it is too hard. But I will give it a little more time and effort before I decide. Doing nothing is not an option - I wouldn't choose to stay in the midst of this pain.
Maybe you can find one small step (taking the Lexapro, maybe - meds made a big difference for me) that can help you be sure whether or not you Could care.
