lack of pleasure in life

[DivineSpark]

I feel like nothing really brings me any pleasure. Nothing can fill that void in my soul. I try to do comfort eating, but it doesnt bring me pleasure any longer. Only emotions I can experience are pain and anxiety.

I feel the same. I use to fill the void with comfort eating but I don't seem to enjoy food anymore. I just sleep my days away. Soon as I wake up, I pop a sleeping pill. I have money, but don't enjoy shopping anymore. I have a lot of "stuff" that I haven't even opened. I'll just be happy when this life is over. I'm sorry you're having a hard . Maybe try what I do. Until that works watch a movie.

With you on that one. I've been struggling for years but in the last 8 months or so nothing brings me joy, it's rough.

I've got really bad anhedonia as well. Especially food/drinking/drugs/sex.

There's no pleasure in anything.

 

[TheGoodGuy]

Wish I could enjoy comfort eating but I am allergic to all foods so although the food tastes amazing I feel horrible after eating.

Exactly the same, the closest things to "pleasure" for me are short, temporary, unsatisfying dopamine bursts. It's been years since I last felt truly accomplished.

Same here.

 

[anhedonic_moron]

the sad part is knowing the feeling before, knowing the feeling of pleasure that is satisfying feels so alien right now, am also in the same position as you. everyday feeling nothing but flesh and blood

 

[cemeteryismyhome]

same. Except for eating. I hate eating and I think it's gross.

 

[FuneralCry]

I understand as for me existing is only suffering, I also find it painful to exist, I'm always so tired of suffering, I'm so tired of being burdened with this existence, I personally always find it torturous to exist. But anyway I wish you the best.

I filled the void in me by collecting things (mechanical pencils, music CDs, watches...) Now I don't care... I have no desire for new things. It felt like an adventure, searching, completing collections, and sorting everything.

I'm just living the day, doing my routine. I don't have any dreams because I can't see the future.
