Anhedonia is a real bitch.

[BitterlyAlive_]

Life is so dull and empty no matter what happens. It's torture. I'm so fucking over it. I may as well just be staring at a wall in my spare time, because that's how everything else feels - unless it hurts. Haha. :|

It is. I know what you feel as I experience anhedonia, too. I'm trying to overcome it by staying busy & going out as much as I can. Mostly, I feel distant/detached from reality and lost in my own little world.

Does it help at all? For me, going out makes everything far worse, and getting more detached lessens the agony.

If I don't go out, I'm even more bored and this makes my anhedonia worse. Usually.

Okay, true. Sorry. I'm thinking about life as a whole and not, ya know, the reason I started this thread to begin with. Smh.

Yes, life seems like a chore. I felt this way even as a child. The sheer pointlessness of it all.

Ah, melancholia indeed.

Melancholia is such a better word than depression to describe the dark mood.

I agree. A heavy, painful melancholy.

Anhedonia is one of the worst things to experience. I'm glad I can overcome it sometimes and it comes and goes randomly.

What a faulty and stupid life. No brain chemicals = no life.

Have you considered taking any mind altering substances? An occasional joint helps me unwind.

It's nice that you have times where it fades, at least. But it sounds bittersweet because you know that soon you'll plummet once again.

I've been asked about such drugs, I don't really have anything easily available to me. Weed doesn't do anything for me, unfortunately.

Yea its bad specially when it suddenly comes at enjoyable moments and ruins the whole thing. I learned how to deal with that somehow
