Anhedonia for 2 years.
Past two years I've been dealing with this. Doctor has suggested stress or rapid weight loss, but can't be sure since bloodwork came normal.
Before this, I guess I kind of went both ways, now uninterested in either sex. Been trying to date, but just completely out of it. There's sometimes some kind of very benign attraction, but that's about it. Genuinely feels like I had a higher libido when I was a kid.
Admittedly, I did consume a lot of porn and was watching it a lot right before this began. Had a very hedonistic lifestyle due to depression.
Because of lifestyle-related health issues, I had to eat right, get active. The anhedonia itself reduced my porn consumption a fair bit. By the book, my life looks pretty solid, but the anhedonia is still there despite my good habits. Depression is also still there, and I feel more depressed without old vices.
Should I get checked out for an adrenal tumor, continue to wait it out, take some kind of supplement, completely quit porn?
