I haven't gone there yet (yet indicates something unaccomplished. It is always accompanied by the negative)
I haven't gone there lately/I haven't gone there lately (lately something accomplished or being accomplished. It can be positive or negative)
I don't go there anymore (Anymore is the opposite of yet.)It is a negative word. It is correct to use the double negative when anymore is used. Anymore and yet may be the only cases in English where the double negative is gramatically correct.
Examples: Lately I'm tired/not tired. This means that currently I am habitually tired /not tired(these days can be used in place of lately)
I'm not tired anymore This means that I am no longer habitually tired
I'm not tired yet. This means cansancia no me llegó todavía.
Yet and anymore are negative words that use the double negative(anymore requires the double negative. There's an option not to use the double negative with yet. Let me know if your interested)
Lately/these days/nowadays can be both negative and positive.
Do you find this complicated? I do.
