Leo1983 Posted October 14 I used to describe Anhedonia as a feeling of glue all over my brain, or like my brain was wrapped in cling film. Apologies for the mixed text. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks A Disconnect from feeling satisfaction/enjoyment. It is like being in a glass sphere observing others enjoy life and you're not able to relate/connect. 1 hour ago, RusTW said: Good to hear man.Thanks for the update. you're welcome.

Leo1983 Posted October 14 Thankyou. God did this last 3 years for you? i do alot of things now but i still wake each day and know im not back to normal.

Kazzah Posted October 30 I have been diagnosed with anxiety and depression 2yrs ago after my relationship ended after 11yrs and for the last year I was taking lexapro but quit cold turkey after bad side effects due to a higher dose (from 10mg-20mg) now I refuse to take any antidepressants as I felt like it was just a band aid effect on my issues when I just needed to time to get over things now I'm suffering with aches and pains as well as physical sicknesses and even ended up in hospital from paranoid episodes of having a heart attack but after reading your story it gives me hope that I can live a full happy life without medications so thank you for sharing your story, especially when I never knew anyone who had mental health issues so it was hard to make my loved ones understand what I'm going through.
