What do anhedonic people do in their free time?

[Weebster]

If nothing is enjoyable or interesting, what is one to do?

Wondering that myself. Sleep, eat, play video games (which I don't enjoy), check this forum, and that's it for me.

Just laying in bed and trying to pass the time somehow

Being either in state of complete lethargy or anxiety because I feel I'm wasting my life and the time is ticking.

I just try to pass the time until I fall asleep and it is the same each day. I feel like I have no choice but to suffer as ctb is so difficult for me. I do not live but just exist. I just spend my time wishing that I was not here. I cannot enjoy anything and I have never wanted to live. All that life is, is just waiting around to die. Everything seems so pointless to me. The thought of being alive until old age is horrifying.

Either sleep, watch TV, or look at my phone. That's really it.

I try to sleep as much as I can. I play stardew valley sometimes but it gets boring again after about an hour and then I go back to sleep. I work for half the week so that keeps me functioning some days. I binge drink most nights to make anything slightly more interesting. For me, anhedonia is the most debilitating part of depression.

I go from home to work and from work to home. On the weekend, I spend the day at home in bed.

Reddit, SS, beer or any other alcohol, vaping, eating, spending time with my boyfriend... When I get drunk I find some stuff mildly enjoyable, but otherwise... it's shit. I tried nootropics to alleviate anhedonia symptoms, but not much luck so far. I'm thinking of trying Mucuna Pruriens, it's supposed to increase dopamine... I don't have much hope though.

Mindlessly scrolling through social media. I personally think it is having detrimental positive effects on my sanity.

I also like to listen to video essays to keep my brain occupied, I don't exactly enjoy being left alone with my thoughts.

Smoke weed, mindless internet browsing, mindless YouTube browsing, doing absolutely nothing a lot of the time.
