/anhedonia/

First I lost any pleasure in gaming.
after that I lost pleasure in my creative hobby
anime is hard to watch and enjoy at all
I resorted to lurking and posting online in Jow Forums and chat apps to fill time in until I can sleep..
Well I can feel that depression is taking this away from me as well.
what have I got left after I lose this? I have nothing.
I guess maybe any enjoyment in music will vanish.
>who else has this shit?
its egging me on until I kill myself.

What has depression taken from you?

>who else has this shit?
>I lost pleasure in gaming.
Yep.
>Creative hobby

>Anime is hard to watch and enjoy at all
Yep i keep watching the same funny episode of same show but never watch anything new.
>I resorted to lurking and posting online in Jow Forums and chat apps to fill time in until I can sleep
Only way i pass time
At least i have music and i don't think my enjoyment will vanish because i play piano every morning and still enjoy it a lot

>there was none
you play piano though man, that is a hobby at least, you have osmething.

Jow Forums shit is all I have and today it hit me I am losing that..

why does this happen to use?

>tried watching youtube
>tried playing vidya
>tried jacking off
>tried eating good food
>still feel like shit mentally

for me it was
>lost pleasure in trying to find any work
>lost pleasure in learning
>lost pleasure in talking to people
>lost pleasure from video games
>lost pleasure from being alive

trying to work it back out without gutting stuck on video games.

I don't feel good about anything, but I also don't feel sad or depressed. I no longer enjoy video games or movies. I might watch a few youtube videos every day. I argue with idiots on the internet, but never make any positive connections with anyone. I drive for uber, and can be charming for a while. But, no real connections. I shut people down when they try to connect with me. I got rid of all my family and friends. I've gone no contact with everyone, and don't miss them. I do have a dog, who is wonderful and sweet, but her need for love annoys me.

But I feel good about myself. I have enough of everything I need, and don't have to do much of anything I don't want to. I like how I look. I have the few comforts and conveniences that are important to me. I listen to music, and still like that-- maybe not quite as much as I used to, but I still do.

I've just kind of figured out that people are not the solution to any problem I have. I don't need their talks, hugs, kisses, sex, friendship, admiration, respect, input. I'm not typing this so that you'll give me back some interesting shit to read about myself and my life and attitudes. I'm just making a diary entry online.

Honestly, I assume the only entities really reading this are AGI.

I've done a lot. I've traveled. Had a lot of experiences, a few relationships and a lot of friendships and acquaintances and sexual partners. I'm not very interested in anything more.

I'm not going to kill myself because I like myself too much, and my life is really all I have. It's already only very temporary, and probably more than half over. I'll be dead soon enough.

>I shut people down when they try to connect with me. I got rid of all my family and friends. I've gone no contact with everyone, and don't miss them. I do have a dog, who is wonderful and sweet, but her need for love annoys me.
you are me man.
I alsofeel this way.
I pushed all my irl friends away and do the same thing with most people online.
>I've done a lot. I've traveled. Had a lot of experiences, a few relationships and a lot of friendships and acquaintances and sexual partners.
you should fuck off my board though
>I'm not going to kill myself because I like myself too much, and my life is really all I have.
kinda contradicts how you felt before.

I wish I had the balls to KMS I think about it constantly

>you play piano though man
by >there was none
i meant there was none that i lost pleasure in yet, sorry bad english

My english is bad

I didn't push anyone away because I don't like myself. I pushed them away because they had nothing to offer me but obligations that I find tiresome. My dog might be bothersome, but at least she's good, silent company on long walks.

Also, whenever I get tired of her, I can put her in the yard.

All you robots like to spend a lot of time wishing you could have sex, but it's really not very good. For one thing, almost no one is going to want you to have sex with other people. So, it's going to become very old-hat, at some point. Do what you want to spice it up, it's still the same person, same body. In the end, all you're doing is driving each other to weirder levels of perversion with the "spicing" thing. And however much they try to please you, they don't know how whatever they're doing feels to you...so they never get it exactly right. And they're going to want sex when you don't want it, and not want it when you do want it. And if they do it when they don't want to, just for you, they'll remember that and expect some sort of compensation, later. And if you do it when you really aren't feeling it, they'll sense that and feel hurt and rejected, rather than grateful that you did it anyway.

Porn is always there, in an unbelievable variety. And you know exactly what is the right level of the right perversions for you. And you know exactly how to touch yourself in exactly the right ways. And you can give yourself exactly as much freedom as you want to have.

As far as relationships, those are a nightmare after the 6th month to first year. After that, it's all just working to get along and trying to keep each other happy while communicating your desires, needs and feelings in a way that respects their autonomy and desires, needs and feelings. And they can betray you at any time. And you can betray them at any time, because when you're in a relationship, you're more attractive to others.

There's nothing good about any of it, robots. You're better off alone, with porn and your hand. If you need a friend, get a dog. People are not the solution to any problem. They are the problem.

The only good things that any humans have ever done are the creation of music and other art

is this an all hope is lost sort of thread?
I sympathize OP. I dont do much but get drunk lay in bed and occasionally play video games. im basically just waiting to die.

taking a shower


pains me

fuck off man your such a normalfag
>didn't push anyone away because I don't like myself.
you assume I do that? push people away cos I dont like them?
>is this an all hope is lost sort of thread?
yeah man sure.
> I dont do much but get drunk lay in bed and occasionally play video games. im basically just waiting to die.

yeah same shit until a few days ago
I am an alcoholic who is 3 days clean and using my valium to fend off the anxiety from drinking but fuck man.

life sober as a loser isnt worth living.
going to trip on DXM tomorrow.

You said I contradicted myself by saying I wouldn't kill myself because I like myself. I don't understand the contradiction, if it's not about pushing people away.

>life sober as a loser isnt worth living.
shit, that hit hard
I'm 3 months clean and the pink cloud was great but I'm getting those goddamn thoughts again
I am not kindling myself again though, last withdrawal was bad enough

Can't enjoy anything and i'm just lurking for these kinds of threads to find out robot's rroutin so that i can finally enjoy something

The time will come when playing music becomes pretty boring. I have been playing for over a decade and it hit me like two years ago. I still play about everyday because Im good at it but it can be a drag sometimes

KYS FAGGOT you need to social life something that you screw yourself for getting stuck in mom's bassement to much time watching anime the onlu solution to you is find a girl good luck with that

Social life is just more problems, robot. It's not worth it, unless you need to network for your career.

Do drugs like ecstasy or shrooms

Be careful with dxm user. Ill spare you my story, but after it ive never been the same. 5 years later and I still have memory issues, I get depersonalization in small bits around people, I have lost a lot of joy I used to have, I cant eat many foods anymore, and forget about doing any drugs, even weed and alcohol are off my bodies limits. Dont ever do it more than once a week, preferably follow the one week per plateau rule and dont mix it with anything but weed. I used to drink and do addies with it and that was just dumb. It all comes down to you but I really hope you see this and take my advice. Have fun.

Yo homie. Start running. It is such a simple pleasure to finish a good run. And while you are in the middle of it, its like your mind quiets down to a whisper and all you feel are your breath and the movement of your body. It really is freeing in a simple way. I do it about as much as I can because it helps with my mind so much and is a nice accomplishment.

better drunk or addicted and coping than sober and miserable and dead.
>so that i can finally enjoy something
my routine is
>wake up (random times because sleeps erratic)
>get on Jow Forums and discord, play music
>sleep and if im lucky watch an anime ep before I sleep.
>KYS FAGGOT
yeah, well since I dont enjoy enything in life and never really have its a matter of time.
> you need to social life
oh really? but im not lonely?
I also hikikomori who cant handle being outside.
>to much time watching anime
I dont spend any time watching anime normally as I cant enjoy anything
>onlu solution to you is find a girl
obvious normalfag , I had diagnosed clincial depression as a small child and have never felt happy.
A GF wont mean shit.

leave my thread and board.

Having no social life also causes problems man. Being in a group when you become used to it brings so many benefits it easily outweighs the issues. The only reason you wouldnt want to have a social life is if you are mentally ill. The thing is if you just ignore the source of your problems and build your world around your illness it will get worse. I know it is hard to get friends. I dont have any that I didnt have in highschool 5 years ago, but dont pretend like not having friends is better than having them. Ignorance will only cause more pain.

>Do drugs like ecstasy or shrooms
>MDMA
oh yeah great idea, I love the hang over where I go into super duper depression the next day
>shrooms
I have DMT here, ayahusca shit waiting but im so mentally unstable I dont know if I should do it.
im already losing my mind.

420blaze it heheeheh

>dont pretend like not having friends is better than having them.
i dont feel lonely though at all.

What benefits?

I make friends easily. I've had tons of friends, look decent, have decent money, and can be very charming and funny. All my comments on uber talk about how entertaining I am and how great our conversations are. I've had uber riders want to give me their phone numbers and hang out-- men and women. On the rare occasion that I go out, I get people trying to make conversation with me. But unless I have some sort of financial benefit from talking to someone, or it's a stranger over the internet, I have no interest in that. They're going to ask more of my time and energy than I'm willing to give them. I don't need companionship. I have my dog for that.

People are either a problem, or a means to an end. None of the ends I need or want to meet require a person. I don't have an illness. I have wisdom gained through experiences.

Yeah dxm is severely misunderstood for how long its been around and how easy it is to get. As long as you know what you are doing there is no need to be worried. That is anything though. I was pretty dumb before so it is hard to tell how much I lost haha. Let me tell you I had a ride though. I have never heard of anybody that went more nuts than me on that shit.
That is because you have gotten used to it. That isnt a good thing though, we are social creatures. If you werent you would never come on Jow Forums. If you are happy I guess thats all that matters, but 99 out of 100 cases people are depressed because of something to do with their reflection they see in society.
Friends make you laugh, help you when you are down, they are a partner to do activities with, you cant play tennis alone you know, you can bounce ideas off of them, they give you recommendations, if they are good friends they are a sort of model for personality whilst you being that to them, you can let out some anger with them, they make sure you dont become a pussy, they let you know if you are being stupid, they help you get jobs or they can be hook ups, you share experiences with them and so they have more meaning, etc. that and a hundred more reasons. Also it has been shown that solitary peoples brains behave differently than those who are in a comfortable social position. Parts of the brain shrink and become less effective. A lot of our chemistry is based around social acceptance. You may not be as unsocial as you think you are if you are constantly talking to people. It is natural to want down time so you are not really a negative example.

And Id like to add everything is a means to an end so that is a proposal of illusion.

>That is because you have gotten used to it
no, 6 years no social interaction otehr than say hi to mummy.
hikikomori as well.
I just dont like peoples company I am very lucky.
> If you are happy I guess thats all that matters
I am not happy at all.
I am clinically depressed it has nothing to do with where I am in life.
I come on Jow Forums and chat to people for entertainment as that is all I can do now to cope.

First, everything that friends do for me, they also expect me to do for them on demand. That, alone, causes me to weigh their neediness against my own very carefully. But let's go through this:

>Friends make you laugh
Shows are funnier

>help you when you are down
No, they don't, for the same reason you can't. Anyone who knows as much as I know about human nature won't try to help me either because they know they'll get nothing in return, or because they know I'm right, or because they know I'm not open to being helped.

>they are a partner to do activities with
I have my dog for long walks

>you cant play tennis alone you know
This is starting to sound like you're trying to be cute. I have a gym I go to. I use the elliptical trainer, do body-weight and dumbell exercises.

>you can bounce ideas off of them, they give you recommendations
I have Jow Forums and reddit for that.

>if they are good friends they are a sort of model for personality whilst you being that to them
This is one of my chief annoyances with people, and why rapport always breaks down. I refuse to change myself for anyone. I'm very difficult for anyone to try to adapt themselves to, and I lose respect for anyone who tries.

>you can let out some anger with them
No, I absolutely can't. No one signs up for abuse. I'm not a "let me share my feelings with you" kind of person. I hate it when people do that to me. Opinions are ok, but feelings are not. None of us have that kind of time.

>they make sure you dont become a pussy
I'm not in any danger of that. If anything, I'm too abrasive and too quick to anger.

>they let you know if you are being stupid
This is not something I need. I would never do this to someone else, either. If you do something stupid in front of me, I'll leave.

>they help you get jobs or they can be hook ups
I have an income as a disabled veteran and drive for uber, and have residual income from a business I started. I prefer porn and masturbation to sex.

>you share experiences with them and so they have more meaning
This is not my experience. Generally, having people around makes an experience less meaningful to me, certainly less enjoyable.

>Also it has been shown that solitary peoples brains behave differently than those who are in a comfortable social position.
These are not mutually-exclusive conditions. One can be solitary and socially comfortable.

>Parts of the brain shrink and become less effective. A lot of our chemistry is based around social acceptance. You may not be as unsocial as you think you are if you are constantly talking to people. It is natural to want down time so you are not really a negative example.
I interact with people online and as part of my work as a contractor for uber. This is all the social interaction I need or want.

>I have Jow Forums and reddit for that.
fuck off you normalfags.
I make a thread for fucked peopel and you normal cunts come in here.
>. I prefer porn and masturbation to sex.
i hope its 2D porn and you use an onahole

How is saying you have been alone for six years proof that you havent gotten used to being alone?

What makes you so sure you arent depressed because of your blatantly depressing and dehumanizing life?You seem to be very certain of what people are, but people are all fairly different. Their are selfish pricks and people who really love every person just because that is what they know is the best way to be. You can say that people do things for selfish reasons and that makes their actions wrong or unmeaningful, but all actions are selfish. That doesnt mean however that they dont also benefit others. That is what may be the most special about being in a good relationship; you both want each other and doing something for either one is simultaneously selfish and loving. Because there are no selfless acts, holding that as some standard of sincerity is an illusion that will make you hate the world. Perhaps you know this and you choose to believe it because you want to hate the world. You also seem fairly narcissistic. I dont want to be patronizing so Ill just say it. That way of being in the world only limits you because nothing is perfect, especially people. You say you know so much about people, but people are a great mystery. How can you be so sure you truly understand their motivations? We come from many different angles and many emergent phenomena can come from seemingly simple rules. It is nice to simplify things so that you can understand them, but to take the model as the real entity is always going to make you have false concepts. I think maybe you are the one who is wrong but you have dug down deep into your position because of your narcissism. You dont want to believe you are wrong so you go the other and say you are certain while disqualifying all proof that would suggest otherwise. Im just some dummy on the internet trying to base this off of a few paragraphs you have given me, but you should really loosen up on your assumptions.

It's almost exclusively traps or amateur lesbians swallowing each other's piss on pornhub.

never thought i would lose interest in music but thats gone too
video games
movies/tv/anime
fitness
lifting

Lost all interest

Also, I call it "going #3" and it usually takes 2 minutes. I do it 5 times a week or so, just to keep my head clear.

What is your life like? Would you say it is fulfilling except for the anhedonia?

>How is saying you have been alone for six years proof that you havent gotten used to being alone?
because I have never felt lonely.
I pushed all my friends away and became a hikikomori.
What makes you so sure you arent depressed because of your blatantly depressing and dehumanizing life

im op im not the guy you linked.
because I had clinical depression as a small child diagnosed and I have never been happy.
>It's almost exclusively traps or amateur lesbians swallowing each other's piss on pornhub.
yeah you need 2D pill, u make me sick

People still have lifes as a child. I was diagnosed with depression as a kid by doctors too user, but I believe that it was because of my social condition and the fact that I knew subconsciously I was inferior to my peers. You may have just always been socially damaged and that is why you push people away, you are trying to return to what is familiar.
