Anhedonia is fucking me up
It's been months now and it's not getting any better, I genuinely see no end in sight, no escape from anhedonia, a disease, a silent killer, a virus; once it takes a hold of you, it's so difficult to escape it.
There is NO pleasure in doing anything anymore, especially the things I used to enjoy, now I find them boring and dull. Nothing brings me joy anymore. I find myself skipping songs constantly and turning a movie off 30 minutes in because I lose interest so quickly, bored and disinterested in everything. I feel emotionally empty, like there's nothing inside. I feel like crying all the time but I can't. I have no motivation to do anything, everything I do feels mechanical and forced, I'm not interested in relationships, romantical or social, or any hobbies, I'm just continuously rotting in my bedroom, day after day, feeling as though life is passing me by but not having enough motivation to actually do anything about it. I physically cannot get excited over something. I try to force myself to feel, but I just can't, I don't have it inside of me anymore, it's gone.
I feel NOTHING, I have ZERO EMOTION. This is what my life has been for months now, this is what I've become, a numb and emotionless shell of a "man". And when I am feeling something, it's fear, hopelessness and anxiety about the future, about life.
I've not yet seeked professional help. I'm not sure what it might be, perhaps depression. I'm so young and I am already done with life because of this never-ending torture.
