Anhedonia

Feeling nothing isn't normal, it's anhedonia. I've fought my way back from that void. Reach out to your doc or therapist - you don't have to live in emotional emptiness.

Thank you for sharing. Finally having a name to it is somewhat of a relief. I told Drs and therapists for over 30 years and they brush it off and don’t ask further questions. It’s so awful. You want to enjoy holidays or parties or anything and there’s nothing but pretending.

This is utterly relatable. It's exactly where I am now and it's terrifying.

I've had anhedonia in my life for over 20 years. (I'm 32, so that's over half of my lifetime)

At first it worried and bothered me, but once I got used to it I've found solance in it. I've described it as switching emotions/feelings off. And it really helps sometimes, even though it is a real void of a state to be in.

Thank you for your videos, Scott. You are a real life super hero. You have my highest respect.

You're the only mental health worker I've ever come across who comes from the same dark place. You are an experience expert, and know what you are talking about, because you've been here too.

It's the worst "feeling" 😢. The best part is when you start "feeling" again 😊, slowly and one step at a time 🙏❤

I know looks aren't everything but the fact this gorgeous hawt man is in here bearing his soul really makes me feel better. Like even people who look like they have it all can feel so empty and small. 😐🙏 Thank you for your honesty and vulnerability. It truly is helping me! ❤❤❤

You are SUCH A BLESSING!!! Especially for those of us who can’t afford professional mental health services or like myself committed to the soul care of a disabled family member without family support or a safety net which at times can be very difficult and overwhelming!!! THANK YOU STRAIGHT FROM MY HEART, SCOTT!!!❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏

[CatherinePatriciaOConnell]

I have so much hate in my heart I don't feel that I can live with feeling anymore. I feel so stupid just saying that. I just found your channel yesterday. I hope I can learn something to make me feel a little better

This topic got me to follow your videos. My life is good. The only thing missing is a companion.

I suffered this during a time if clinical depression
Sertraline did eork for me after a few werks the colour returned tbe weight began lifting
I know this just does not happen for all suffers I’m glad it did for me
I can recall the horror of it to this day 4 years on

[epicchuck]

It was on and off growing up but now after graduating ive felt nothing for 5 years straight, each year less and less. Exercise, meditation, being productive everyday, and nootropics did not help. Prescribed meds only make it worse. I don’t believe this is treatable. It just keeps getting worse.

THANK HOU, Scott, for ALL of your lifesaving videos!!!! 🙏🙏

[glendapolich]

YOU are my medical team !!! and THATS A GOOD THING !!! ❤

[bertholdroettgers]

Your video is very helpful, as always! 👍

[woodrowbeckford]

I have been dealing with this since i had covid. After trying 8 antidepressants, magnetic and shock treatments the only thing that works is alcohol. Unfortunately that makes my depression worse

[juliedavis]

Wish I had that. My feelings are way too overwhelming!

I live in the Delta Quadrant of Star Trek. Jean-Luc has been searching for my feelings for two seasons of the Next Generation

What's causing it?

How about the craziness that's going on in the world? Would that be the cause.

Family and friends dying suddenly from baffling unknown causes.
