Anhedonia - big time

Since Wednesday I’ve gone down
One by one my pleasure left me
Lost interest in my painting
Then in my reading books
Then in my food
Then in my music
Then in my coffee

Life is flat, grey. I’m sinking. Don’t know how long I will be down but glad at least to see my pdoc on Tuesday!

I feel so dead. Starting to get the urge to cut. To feel something. Almost did about two nights ago.

I was doing so well for two months now this

saadiqah. please do not do anything rash to yourself. just a few more days and your pdoc will help you. in the meanwhile maybe there’s some thing that can distract your mind from your troubles…

it’ll get better soon i bet!! i hope by now it has already!! :smiley::thinking: judy

Treat it like the cycle it is.
Somebody told me that someone happy all of the time is just as sick as someone sad all the time. You’ll get over this. In the meantime, make yourself comfortable.

Saadiqah, please know that you are a valuable person and your life matters to us, and your life is meaningful. You are talented and have many potentials that you possess. You are loved and cared for.

I know how strong it is to have the urge to self-harm. I have gone through so many self-harm urges. If you ever feel like harming yourself, please go to a hospital.

I care about you and I love you.
I’ll be here to support you- we all will.

@Hadeda I know you’re Muslim. Does prayer and meditation help you?

@Hadeda I think you’re muslim, i’m also muslim.

What I find works best with anhedonia is consuming short term media. Find something that you think you might like, maybe a short song, listen to it and move on.

Believe it or not, something like Marijuana helps in this case for short term euphoria but since its illegal and some consider it haram, people don’t choose it as a source of relief.
