I can't seem to have fun or feel any enjoyment. I've felt this way for over a year now. I've spoken to some doctors about it and have even done sessions with a psychologist, but they can't seem to help me. The doctor prescribes me different antidepressants and the psychologist keeps saying "fake it 'til you make it" while giving me a list of "fun" things to do and weekly goals. None of it seems to be working. I have no motivation because it feels like there's never any reward for anything I do.

Does anyone have any suggestions? Has this happened to anyone in the past? Any reply would be greatly appreciated

OP here. I forgot to mention the term is called anhedonia if that helps

I have a suggestion:
Just keep doing what you've been doing. In the end it's all about the times you had, and not worrying about where your mind put you in the moment. Try everything and don't give up, there's something out there that will entertain you. You just need to go out there and find it.

Thank you for your reply Anon. I don't really worry about it intensely, but recently I have been thinking to myself "at what point do I give up? it's been over a year with no progress"

There was a House MD episode where two people couldn't experience any enjoyment because of some kind of exotic virus. Worth looking into, maybe.

Have you tried drugs? Maybe some acid (or magic shrooms if you're scared of chemical stuff) could reset your brain. People have changed because of trips. I know drugs sounds like bad advice, but if the alternative's giving up altogether... (oh don't mix acid/shrooms with antidepressants obviously).

Listen, I like you. You seem like a good guy, but all of that shit you just said was garbage.

OP, when it's your literal LIFE on the line, there isn't a giving up point. You only get one of those, and one year is 1% of that life. Keep going, keep pushing, you can't just tap out of this. We're all out here battling something, the truly happy ones are the ones that have been against the rope 90% of the time. Just be sure to look out for that .10 and don't fall for shortcuts in this, because most of them are dangerous or just plain ridiculous.
