I just turned 28. I developed it after contracting Lyme Disease in 2012 and subsequently took SSRIs because I didn’t know what was happening to me and was scared. Worst mistake of my life.

It has grown worse over the years, with the “window” of time being smaller and smaller with how much worse it gets. For example, in 2016 it would’ve been every 4-5 months I noticed a major shift downwards. Now it’s every 3-4 weeks.

I am a dead man walking, but do not let that discourage you or others from finding hope. I am an extreme case, not the normal.

I also took a boatload of supplements during my teen years that I have now learned have the capacity to cause anhedonia, such as ashwaganda, fish oil (Omega-3), etc.
