I've always been mildly depressed and apathetic, but I've managed to function normally and live a pretty fulfilling life with quite a few friends. Lately I've felt so deeply unmotivated that I can't be bothered to socialise, and when I do, I can't even be bothered to contribute to the conversation. My social circle has nearly completely whittled down because of it. Normally I've felt some sort of enthusiasm for being liked and am known as the goofy jokester, but of late people have been asking me why I'm acting so different. I don't know what's going on. I feel like part of my soul has died. Will I ever get it back?

See a therapist. Similar thing happened to me and seeing a shrink and having someone to pour everything out helped with controlling my emotions. And exercising.

I'm doing CBT and hitting the gym 6 days a week. I guess it might be better to hash things out with someone rather than CBT

Anhedonia (loss of interest in pleasurable activities) is a symptom of depression.
CBT, specifically Behavioral Activation is a great treatment for depression.
If you can't be bothered with that, try this:
Pick up st. john's wort standardized dose at any walgreens and follow the directions. Also make it a point to talk to people anyway especially when you don't feel like it.
