Ask for guidance, write it down, say it aloud... get all of the senses involved and then sleep on it and write down your dreams.

Apathy is common with depression.
I would like to agree, that stating an intention before meditation is really helpful to me with my sitting. I visualize who or what I am building my intension for, be it a direct prayer of concern, or just learning from myself on how to be more loving and stable for others benefit. Intension helps. Knowing why you are doing something.

Thanks for all you said SS, that was really nice.
