Nothing matters any more

wish I had brain cancer so I could die. I don’t want to live anymore. There’s nothing that makes me happy. There’s no motivation. There’s nothing. I sleep 14 hours a day because I try to avoid being awake.

I feel your pain. But try to find something that made you happy during the day some simple things like .

I slept all day I dreaming good dreams.
Or today weather was nice
Or I ate good meal
Talked to friend

People think when they get something they will be happy . The true is happiness is in present moment. Happiness is like a muscle and can be trained

O man i missed so much things cause of my psychosis friends parties my anhedonia kills me i dont have apetite to do nothing i dont have apetite to listen music to play games nothing at all i only walk in my house and hug my father

So that’s something walking in house and hugging father that shows that you love your father and in good relationship. Something to be happy about . And also you live in the past Becouse you said you missed . That also means that you care about yourself. Things can change . My advice would be to try living in present and appropriate small things . Becouse past cannot be changed .

So it’s matters you matter . Start slowly to adjust to less shiny life but it doesn’t mean it’s worthless or meaningless . Life is always meaningful even if it’s not shiny. You can find deep satisfaction in life without shiny things . With love care

Never heard of this disease.

I can relate, and really feel sorry for you. I suffer from deep anhedonia, but luckily only in periods. It’s hell, but there must be a way out.

I guess you heard all the advice about taking babysteps, forcing yourself to be more social, this and that medication etc., some of the are good.. But every solution is individual and I hope you find a way out, just remember it can take a long time to get a tolerable life back.

Hang in there !

Better times can come and your life can improve .

Maybe there’s changes you can make that would make you happier .

Can you be around people (depends on what kinda people :zany_face::joy:)

Are you able to exercise ?

Keep the faith that things will get better for you .

Be extra kind to yourself and maybe treat yourself to some take away good food and do nice things to support yourself and maybe listen to positive affirmations.free on YouTube .

Have you brought up this with your doctor? If you are having severe motivational issues there are probably options. Maybe you could work with the dosage on the current medication, or try another medication.

Basic supplements like a B-complex, D and C vitamin could probably make things a little bit better for you. Not a cure, but a little nudge in the right direction. The medication we take deplete our bodies of many types of nutrition.

I feel this way too.

Having known people who have died of brain cancer, you really don’t. The pain is unimaginable. You’ll wind up being grateful for the problems you had before.

Things get better, but you have to push to make it happen. Waiting for something to happen means nothing ever happens.

Really sorry to hear about the depression… You’ll pull through :flexed_biceps:

Take baby steps @Winston
Even doing small things like enjoying a cup of coffee or listening to your favorite music are steps forward
