Is your ability to enjoy anything totally gone?

Peace & contentment are just forms of pleasure too. We're only capable of experiencing pain or pleasure, that's all there is for animals

Not mind kind of peace and contentment at least. It's not pleasurable, but it's the absence of the usual garbage. Maybe my choice of words was wrong, perhaps "relief" is a better word, idk.

Well, relief/absence of garbage is poor man's pleasure...

It's scary as shit that so many people on here have been unable to enjoy anything for years, yet they still can't overcome their SI

The miracle of life. It's the carrot and the stick which make us move, but the carrot is kind of redundant. The stick alone can get us to toil endlessly in an existence that is completely devoid of anything positive. Blame our survival instinct for keeping us imprisoned..

Even a man who has nothing can still have comfy.

What will be my comfy when my dick falls off? I can't become a bottom, I get retraumatized each time I wipe my butt

You will have to turn to nonsexual comfy. Then again, for you that door may have closed forever.

Maybe not completely but I'm almost 100% there. The only thing I somewhat enjoy is music, which is a bad sign cause I can feel myself slowly losing interest until I find a new song but it's an ongoing cycle. I hate it here so much and I can't remember the last time I've been genuinely happy. Same shit different day. Even eating and sleeping feels like a chore. Non existence is so much easier, I'm so angry I was put here against my will. People should really be able to consent to their birth.

I still believe I'll be defiant & spiteful enough to stick it to the stick when all the dick-shaped carrots are gone

 

[slyna]

Not just enjoy but my energy is gone and with isolation I notice my mental health is detoriating quickly. I feel stupid

No, it's just that parents should be shown for what they really are. Evil people

I

Yes. The only thing I enjoy doing is eating, as I am bulimic and genuinely addicted to food. It makes my life hell, but it's the only thing that brings me joy at the same time and I would have been dead long ago if I didn't have this addiction.

I'm bulimic too and binging and purging is one of the only "pastimes" I can focus on and summon the energy and motivation to do. I've been trying to substitute chewing and spitting but it's not as satisfying. I like the feeling of relief of emptying my too-full stomach and the discomfort of vomiting.

 

[Vault of Memories]

I never feel more embarrassed than when someone asks what my hobbies are. The inability to respond is an admission of how miserable I truly am.

I've been trying to substitute chewing and spitting but it's not as satisfying. I like the feeling of relief of emptying my too-full stomach and the discomfort of vomiting.

I've tried chewing and spitting as well, but one of the biggest reasons that led me to start binging and purging on the first place was the hunger, and the feeling of being able to eat whatever I want at least for a short span of time, the euphoria of it. And then feeling like I fixed something when I purge. It comes as the biggest relief ever for me. I feel bad because binge eating is not talked about enough and seen as something shameful, because you can't romanticize it like you do with restricting or fasting. But it's so so painful and an addiction.

I'm confused - are you talking about overcumming SI or getting caught jacking off?

 

[Mr2005]

Yeah pretty much

 

[Rhaiyne]

Weird thing for me... music... no matter how low I am... music will always be there...

 

[Depressed_Kettle]

Part of depression is not being able to enjoy anything. I struggle to find enjoyment in anything because I can't relax enough. I'm to uptight and I can't focus on what's happening. It's like it's a haze, while I'm doing something, all I can think about is things that stress me out (how bad I look, if I smell, if I am acting weird, if I said something wrong, if my body movements are weird). I struggle to find words to say when people ask me questions. I don't find things pleasurable anymore because I can't relax and take it all in. I have ADHD too so that's part of it. Lately my meds have seemed weird, I'm not sure what's going on but it's probably just me. I feel like I'm going crazy, overthinking everything and just can't wait until it's over.

 

[plough22]

I still enjoy some things, the ones that allow me to escape my mind. Other than that, No I don't enjoy this life. I use to but five years my life changed and it hasn't been the same. Trying to find answers in my head, over thinking, feeling worthless and helpless and I am getting more tired. I'd love N, peace would then slip in

 

[BrokenLine]

I think the only thing I actually enjoy is the volunteering I'm doing and a big part of that is it keeps me occupied gives me a sense of accomplishment for a few hours. Being around people I like with some talking It makes me feel like I'm actually part of the world not a ghost walking through it. I cant really say this and why I want to volunteer everyday and to why I'm not happy to lose time\days. Other than that there's nothing I really enjoy anymore

 

[summers]

I can't say I don't enjoy anything, just that whatever happiness something brings is very short lived.

 

[Stuckaf2]

Yes it's just mind boggling. Nothing makes me happy no matter how good I feel. When I realized that I was just trying to cope with me being such a retarded human my world fell apart... it's was just doomed from day 1

 

[DunnoWhyButYeah]

Hmm almost. I still enjoy some good conversations and sex, sometimes even gaming but everything else... No point.
