I wish I could enjoy life

Anhedonia has me a little down. It really sucks not to be able to enjoy much. I use to be a big pc gamer. I can’t get into video games anymore. Very rarely can I get into a tv show or movie. It’s all just blah. All I do is browse this forum, watch the news, eat , drink, smoke and sleep. Anyone else in this boat?

I’m the same. I tweet a lot, I occasionally try to read bits of interest here and there. I’m a student but I can’t get myself to study properly because working memory is an obstacle.

I’m always with earphones plugged in and music to the max. And usually a cigarette in hand as well

I try to get the most out of the little things but they don’t really thrill me like they should. I just kinda go through the motions.

BTDT.

I’m in the tail end of a depression and mild psychosis. Sometimes it’s nothing but a waiting game. The hard part is not letting your patience get the best of you. I spent the last two days underneath my covers in bed. I didn’t care about anything. A smoke alarm could have went off and I wouldn’t have budged.

I could give a list of things to try but you know your needs better than me. Hope you feel better soon.

I lost the ability to enjoy anything for years, luckilly the good feelings can come back. New ones are possible too, even if it takes forrever. A friend in the struggle.

I’m with you, and IMHO my anhedonia is pretty mild, it still upsets me. I just want to feel a little positive emotion so I can enjoy things again.

I used to feel more before they upped my med dosage, I also used to be a bit paranoid and couldn’t handle stress, which is why the upped the dosage.

It is probably time for me to consider another medication… :cry:

I was enjoying games just fine all last year. Got New Vegas, Dead Rising 1 and 2 to 100% achievements, but this year I’m having trouble with motivation to play. I bought mass effect and console Rust but rarely play either. Mostly I just watch tv and talk on the forum.
