Anyone else have it?

-
Thank god no.
-
I have had it badly before.
And it still tries to get me every now and then. Horrible.
-
i get the same symptoms when i'm badly depressed. i hesitate to say that i have anhedonia per se, though - i'm not into diagnosing every little twitch and quirk and sticking a label on it.
(not saying you are, peter, btw).
-
No way.
-
It's been a pretty constant, life-long thing for me, separate from my bouts of depression, but often compounding them and probably a major contributing factor to them.
-
I have some symptoms, but I also believe it is tied to my level of depression at any one time. On the best of days, though, I take little pleasure in eating, because I can't taste most foods, but that's something different.
Yesterday in the eve, in an almost childlike way, I took an extreme pleasure in going to a street festival with live music, despite the rudeness of the crowd, crappiness of the sound, hideous smells of instant foods prepared on the sidewalks, and heat of the day. I get pleasures from the things I love.
-
Sometimes. It sucks not only because it sucks, but because it makes it that much harder to bootstrap myself out of the accompanying depressive funk.
-
Yes, i consider it to be symptom of depression.
After long periods like that, then Prozac has always sorted me out in the past, i guess i am lucky.
-
i wish i had anhedonia with food.
-
I have had anhedonia off and on throughout,my life, it mainly occurs during depressions, has really held me back in life and i have passed up many good opportunities because of it
-
that seems like a pretty wierd disorder that cant be true

When I was in hospital I was encouraged to drink those weird food drinks because I didn't eat enough. I thought I was eating enough. But I guess because I didn't care, I was not thinking about my health.
-
thanks :green:
i wish i had food anhedonia because if i didn't care about food i would just go wthout it a lot of the time and i'd be skinny. when i took speed i only ate when i started to feel woozy and tired. and then i'd only eat like a coupla fruit. i miss that not caring thing.
-

No you don't, because you would only binge on the ones you can taste. Trust the Salt/Sweet Man on this one.
-
Yeah I seem to only like certain types of food and get absolutely no taste from others. I get zero enjoyment from pretty much everything when I am really depressed. All I feel like is sleeping and being alone.

Sleeping would be nice, if you can, and being alone seems to be quite expensive, but worth it.
-
I tend to under-eat, and often only eat when I start getting a headache from my blood sugar dropping. Eating's usually a chore for me.
-
At best I normally eat 2 meals a day. On really bad days I sleep forever and might eat one meal (I try to save that for the weekends). I have quit many a job due to depression and not wanting to go back. Then I just go back to sleep, turn off my cell and close the blinds.
-
Eating used to be a rather significant pleasure for me. Lately, it's become a futile act of desperation. :-\

Then maybe what I experience is not really anhedonia where food is concerned, but simply a lack of taste sense for most things. Generally eating is a chore, as already mentioned, but on the rare occasion that I actually taste something pleasurable in food, I obsess trying to taste again and again. It could easily become a binge if I was not careful to avoid that behavior.
With my lack of taste sense and unpredictable tactile sense, which comes and goes, combined with my crazy mixed up visual and aural senses, I am quite the "repeatable sensation" junkie! My taste sense does not change, so things like chocolate cake and hot peppers are like gods to me. I have binged quite heavily on both in the past, hence the semi-Buddha belly.

I'm not sure if I have it or not. I don't always feel. I would have to look more into this condition. There wasn't enough information on wiki.

I seem to be experiencing this to a certain degree now.
-
Horrible, isn't it. Makes you not care about important things.

I fall into that kind of slump at times, when I'm between interests. Even discovering a song I love
can pull me out of it. Lately it's John Williams' theme from Jurassic Park. It's used in the last
scene of Jurassic World, in a very moving way. It's majestic music and makes me teary-eyed. :'( :heart:
