Those with anhedonia: What do you do with your time?

[Ambivalent1]

I often read because it's cheap or free, but i usually have to force myself to do it. There's very little I enjoy reading. Most things just seem pointless to occupy myself with. It just feels like busy work.
Video games are the most stimulating for me but I only have the app store at my disposal and the game selection is bad.

I Can't enjoy anything. I just overthink the whole day about How this happened. I'm just hoping it Will go away, otherwise I'm forced into suicide.

I spent my whole day in bed doing nothing.

TV. Don't follow plots. Boring af. So bloody bored it's painful

 

[just_so_done]

I used to be able to read and could read a book a day then that hobby got taken away along with everything else. So spend most of my day in bed watching shows that i'm not even interested in, staring at the wall or on sasu. fuck my life is pathetic

Honestly since having anhedonia I haven't stopped doing the things I did when I didn't have it, I know I will not get anything out of anything but I just pretend my anhedonia doesn't exist. I game, read, go out, that kind of stuff, and I can't enjoy it but it definitely is better for my brain than just doing nothing. As long as I keep doing these things, even if it's hard with no motivation, every once in awhile I might get surprised by some enjoyment.

scroll scroll scroll/lay in bed for 12 hours staring at ceiling and then pass out


im apathetic toward anhedonia now so im just in some sort of trance/tranquil state most of the day now just staring at nothing.

[loverula]

ridiculous but im on tiktok for abt 13 hrs of the day, which adds up to around 73 hrs weekly. dont really do much else.

 

[sick.faery]

watch youtube, tv shows, tiktok, sleep, listening to music

I guess it depends on my energy level. Baking if I have the energy.

Lately just have the tv on for background noise, game for short periods or try to watch tv. Decreased cognitive function makes it hard to do much for long.

I find myself dissociating and crying most of the time. Both are kinda shitty but at least with dissociating I'm numb and not really aware of what's going on around me and the time goes by faster.

YouTube. Much of my free time is occupied through learning new things on YouTube, watching some people play through video games, or listening to podcasts.

Reading is good, but sometimes that alone is too much physical and mental effort. My disabilities make my mental and physical energy levels very unreliable. I also draw, but there's again the issue of energy (and the fact that my hands get hurt very easily).

 

[anaerobic_bacterium]

i spend all my free time on videogames and porn consumption otherwise i feel bored to death

 

[aGoodDayToDie]

Exactly the same for me. Sometimes reading forums like this in bed though…

 

[アホペンギン]

I only enjoy one thing as of now and thats SH. Won't go into too much detail but if I'm not doing SH then i'm probably lying in bed and disassociating, passes time, though.

 

[benzol]

Ah yes, I forgot, also do a form of SH smoking cigarettes. Then go back to bed. What a shit

I read, play video games, watch movies. Sometimes it helps; just finished a really good book that kept me entertained. A lot of times it doesn't.
