All those with Anhedonia (inability to experience pleasure), how have you been lately?
Lately I've been staying up odd hours, drinking unhealthy amounts of coffee, playing Persona 4 Golden, and mindlessly strumming on my guitar to pass the time. I read something today that convinced me I should be saving more money, so now I plan on buying less stuff. Also thinking about getting back into anime.
How about you?
Bump. There must be some of you here.
I'm not sure I have it, but I may.
I recently started dating. The beginning of the relationship was exciting. I thought I would finally get rid of the thoughts which were plaguing my mind.
Well, no. After managing to win a girl, I suddenly lost 90% of the interest in her, also in sexual terms. Poof.
Nothing seems really interesting and the bad thoughts and regrets aren't really gone.
Might be low dopamine, probably the result of constant sugar binging with no l-tyrosine in your diet.

I think I know what you mean. The only people I still find interesting are those who appear elusive or "hard to get", and if they ever do open up to me, I immediately stop caring and set a space between us. This has happened twice now.

If so, do you have any idea how I could remedy that? Some kind of drug?

That girl wasn't even hard to get. It's like... just the beginning, when we found out we like similar things and when we were really sexual was interesting. Then, after we actually ended up being together, everything stopped being interesting. I returned to the real world and constant analysis of self-worth and (un)happiness.

I started Fluoxetine last Friday, I've only been having pleasureless orgasms since then. Beating one out was one of the few things I enjoyed doing in life....fuck. Anyway I'm keeping my head up and hoping that it's one of those side effects that will fade with use. Other than that I think it's given me (caused me to develop?) blunted affect, which is really weird.

I've no idea about that, man. Sorry.

Supposedly Bupropion or Wellbutrin help with restoring the feelings. Dunno yet, though, I haven't been able to try them.
