I feel like I'm completely fading away. I'm losing interest in almost everything. My few remaining interests of writing and cooking are flying away and I feel completely abandoned and hopeless. What there is left inside, I do not know. Each second I'm alive is a struggle as it feels like a monster devours my brain, soul, and body.

I've gone through periods like that, fortunately, I've always bounced back. Sometimes it took a long time and I practically gave up on all my interests and hobbies, but with time my mood lifted and the interests came back.
I hope your suffering doesn't last very much longer. I do, however, believe there is hope for all of us.

Oh yes, I forgot to add, music means nothing to me anymore either. When I hear it, it is just like blahhhhh.
Thanks for the nice responses, I just assume this is the way the rest of my life will be as I've just been getting worse and worse since my depression and avoidant personality disorder developed in my pre-teen years.

Aloha Absurd,
I started losing my ability to "feel" about 7-years ago. (Anhedonia) It started with a loss of interest in music, then all activities I used to enjoy, then sex, then food, now everything. Really a difficult situation to deal with. I have come off the Klonapin in hopes of getting some GABA receptors back in my brain which may help a little. The docs are not sure why this has happened to me, perhaps its 30-years of being on anti-depressants, perhaps its from other medical issues I have, (thyroid & gut problems) and perhaps no one will ever figure it out. I hope you have a good physician who can eliminate the problem as being a medical issue. I would also encourage you to keep pressing your doc's to help you figure this out before it goes on any longer. There is quite a bit of research going on right now to isolate and treat neurotransmitters that may contribute to this symptom...I hope they figure it out soon...ARGGG As for me... I'm really working hard to find a solution or some relief whatever that may be. I'm trying Ketamine in a few weeks, not holding my breath but...who know?

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
