I've been going through this for the last few weeks. I have been zoning out and just staring at walls, windows, the floor etc. I am perfectly content not doing anything at all. It really bothers me and scares me. I usually read a lot. And lately I can't get through a few pages of a book without the need to zone out. I deal with dissociation, but this feels more like anhedonia, lack of pleasure in things. The weird thing is I still have an interest and take enjoyment in gardening, but everything else that made me happy is gone. I've been doing meditation and tai chi, some energy work and it helps but it's not solving the problem. I do feel a little depressed at certain times during the day, but other times I feel fine or happy. I don't know if these are signs of depression or something else. I meet with my pdoc Friday, so hopefully that will help. The one thing that helps me thus far is vaping CBD oil. It's useful for lots of psychiatric issues.

That's how I feel when I have a mild depression. I find it very annoying.

What you're experiencing is definitely anhedonia. You don't have to *completely* lose interest in everything for it to be anhedonia.

Hope your pdoc can help you. Maybe you need one of your doses increased.
Thanks for this!

It sounds like me when I am getting depressed. Hopefully your pdoc can help. Keep pushing yourself to do the things that keep you healthy.
