[267/365] anhedonia

[cosmolinguist]

I don't expect to feel happy lately but I do rely pretty heavily on a sense of accomplishment.

Last few days I've been doing household chores, going to work and uni, swapping furniture for new-to-me stuff, seeing friends, doing a bit of activism... Everything that usually makes me feel good or at least better.

But it just...hasn't. I've been distantly glad these things are done in an abstract way, but I haven't derived any satisfaction from any of it.

Makes it difficult to do anything.

I hope this eases soon - that sounds pretty wretched.

That is certainly a lot of accomplishment. I am sorry that it is only distantly being felt.

I was just reading this (long, thoughtful) piece about anhedonia and getting things done:

Sending soothing thoughts your way.

I hear you. I'm having days like this. Hoping that as I settle into my new apartment it will get better.
