What are your experiences with Anhedonia?

For me I think I sometimes have it, activities I usually like don’t feel rewarding enough. Could be regular depression or seasonal one, but I’m unsure. It’s like a state of perpetua boredom yet anything I do doesn’t get me out of it, if I have the motivation to do that. For a while I said it’s burnout, probably my environment isn’t the best

    Didn’t know there is a word for this. I definitely have it, but it’s just a symptom in my case and kind of normal.

    It never stops, but I’ve managed to accept it over time. Some things are mildly joyful, relationships, pets, some specific foodstuffs.

    But overall they’re kinda like a very diluted juice. I’m not going to give advice because my way of dealing with it is probably not the best one, but once I got used to it, life became somewhat bearable.

    Like eating bland food that you know is going to maintain you alive. Or more accurately, like doing that horribly boring job because you know other people need it a lot.
