Incredibly lonely, shutting down: Suffering with Anhedonia

Lack of pleasure. Ive been struggling a lot with this lately. Its such an odd state, Im not super sad all the time, but its like all pleasure sensors have burned out. Anyone experience this? I have long term depression, on meds and in therapy. Think im trying to find hope battling my body.

Can so relate to the difficulties in feeling pleasure in anything but didn't know there's a term for it. The norm for me is every day I wake up with depression an all too familiar feeling or lack of feeling. The meds route didn't work so now classified as medication resistant. Go to therapy as needed but reality as/if I can afford it. Feel so lost and see no options for peace and more clarity...ugh. Your sharing lets me know I'm not alone.

Hi @januaryjane, I see that you posted a few times last night about your lack of feeling pleasure that the "pleasure sensors have burned out." I merged your new discussion about anhedonia to this one that you also started and feeling lonely and shutting down.
What is the day looking like for you this morning? @gailb and I will be watching for your reply.
