I have to say that I was on antibiotics and high dosage of Prednisone to treat a rash I have obtained. Due to the stress the girl caused me I had two nights of smoking marijuana and one night of drinking alcohal, while on the meds (dumb idea I know.) About two weeks ago I tried masturbating and simply couldn't get an erection (this has never been a problem for me). All of the sudden EVERYTHING TURNED FOR THE WORST. I stopped having any emotion (no sadness, happieness, worries, motivation, nervensouss, libido, etc. ). I don't know the reason for all this but I believe it is getting worse. Am I suffering from Anhedonia? I had doctors check my blood for any issues (low testosterone,tyroid) and he said everything was okay. I also feel a lot more tired througout the day (I am getting enough sleep) and i'm eating a lot more.
WHATS GOING ON WITH ME?
SOMEBODY HELP!

there are many reasons why someone would experience Anhedonia (lose the ability to feel happiness, enjoyment) of things they do..
it happens with many to most mental disorders, many to most physical health problems and it happens to many people who do drugs and alcohol.
we cant tell you what is going on with you. doing so is called making a diagnosis and psych central members are not allowed to do that. all we can do is tell you if we have had the same issues and what our own treatment providers called it for us..
I have had this issue and it was called many different things -
dehydration
poor diet
stress
depression
bipolar disorder
dissociation
psychosis
parkinsons disease
multiple schlorosis
PTSD
Lack of affect
Seasonal depression
sleep deprivation
too much medication
and many more..
in others that I know it was called
schizophrenia
alzheimers
muscular dystrophy
ear infections
bacterial infections
the flu
Drugs
Alcohol
job related poisons
and many more..
only your treatment providers can tell you what is going on with you and why.
my suggestion contact your treatment providers (medical doctor, therapist or psychiatrist) they can diagnose this problem and treat it for you.
