Hi all!

Does the following sound more like depressive anhedonia, or ADHD?

I seem to be trying to escape things I find anxiety-inducing or too troublesome by either hyperfocusing on a new research topic or hopping around between habit websites, which are at least mildly interesting and keep my mind occupied. I'm perfectly capable of appreciating small pleasures like good food, nice weather, etc. Meanwhile, no tactile hobby I've tried to pick up in my entire lifetime has ever become habit regardless of how interesting it is to me as a concept. I seem to find most activities unrewarding unless there's some direct positive result (especially opportunities for praise) I can strive for. (Fear has been a motivator of sorts, too, but leads to anxiety and/or depression.)

So what do you think? Also, feel free to share your experiences...
Thanks for this!
