Thanks. It does not feel like depression as I had a few and they felt different. But definitely related to the lack of goals and meanings.

Depression doesn't mean 'sad' per se. Disengagement, lack of interest, etc. still fall into the window of depression. Overuse of addictive things (porn, drugs, alcohol) are also a sign.

Even if it is for a single session, I'd suggest talking to a professional therapist. If they're local, they even may have great ideas on things you may enjoy out of the house/connecting to other human beings in person. They may also suggest medications; I strongly suggest if you go the med route to see a psychiatrist over a primary care physician; psychiatrists simply know their stuff better/can monitor you more effectively.
