Severe Ahedonia
I can’t seem to make anything matter to me. I feel nothing but sadness and anger. I’ve tried EVERYTHING. Therapy, exercise, journaling, meditation, talking to loved ones, moving, changing careers (from one bad job to a terrible one), taking time off, medication, I got a dog-you name it. I just can’t understand how life is supposed to be enjoyable. Do I just keeping working and coping with my depression until I die? If so I don’t mind going now.
@dollonthehighshelf When nothing feels good, it can be challenging. Others have found joy again, hope is available.
Do you want to talk about it?
All of this is a giant exercise in patience. That makes it so, so hard. It took me a long time of solid effort to get myself back on track (about 6 years). Part of it was not realizing that I was already in a better spot that my brain refused to admit. What kinds of things have you learned about yourself during the struggle?@dollonthehighshelf
