No, I don't feel stuff very often. I started off not feeling anything at all (I used to intellectualise every single thing and had anhedonia for about 19 years) and then I went to the first T and she helped me to feel something every now and then. So now i feel things every now and then but that's it.
My current T knows this but I don't think she realizes the scope of the anhedonia. It's not that I have feelings and can't identify them - I just have very few or don't care about most issues.. however you want to define it. Anger I can feel and sadness and frustration but thats about it.
