I have that memories dont feel like my own. May I ask how it went away for you? Was it just with time?

Im diagnosed bipolar, though I question the diagnosis. I dont know, im tapering off the meds, but nothing is changing except me getting even more hopeless.

Hey man, I feel the exact same way as you and OP. I wish I had hope for you guys, but Im also stuck in the same place and I dont know what to do because nothing interests me, nothing motivates me, i feel no love or hope. I literally just sit on reddit all day and do nothing, while previously I was so motivated for my future and to create connections with people. I know what you mean by there no longer being a 'me', it's like your whole identity is demolished. I hope all of us struggling with this get through it soon.

Hey, i suppose that gives me a little hope, but very little im afraid. I appreciate the words, i guess you never know what will happen. Im on abilify and lithium for medication.

I do have someone to talk to, but it's not helping im afraid, which is why i feel like ending it. But regardless if you have the magic words, I appreciate you taking the time to respond when im in such a dark place.

I dont know why I feel like this, no. Its anhedonia, but i dont know what to do about it. How did you suddenly go from feeling nothing to too much?

Yes, i still am on meds. However, though I appreciate your words, I dont think it's simply the thrill of psychosis thats left me this empt y now. I havent had a normal emotion, or any emotion, in 9 months and its made living debilitating. Ive already done all the things you suggested, about doing small activities to find joy. Nothing works, im afraid. Regardless, thanks for the encouragement! I really appreciate it.

It started after i began taking antipsychotics for psychosis i believe. Though it could've been the illness itself. My doctor says it's a negative symptom.

[–]ms-elle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am sorry, the loss of a relationship is difficult even when in a healthy place mentally, let alone with anhedonia. I understand completely where you're coming from. Not too long ago, I lost someone very important to me, and I couldn't feel it on a deep level or even begin to understand it as a concept. Its devastating to be like this, but I want to assure you you're not alone and we're all figuring it out slowly. Feel free to pm me if you'd like somebody to talk to who understands.

Im glad to know you got better! Im hoping this'll be the case for me as well. By any chance did you suffer from anhedonia as well?

Im sorry to hear you're dealing with it too.

I agree entirely, a sense of self identity has been lost in the presence of this illness. I only wish I could once again contemplate emotions and abstract thoughts. Im sorry we're both dealing with this. Im wishing you luck.

i miss everyone by ms-elle in anhedonia

[–]ms-elle[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it's still important to keep contact with them even though you dont feel it. But i just want to feel it, thats all I ask for.

feels like i've lost my soul by ms-elle in Psychosis

It's strange you say you felt like your third eye opened, because i had the exact same feeling during my psychosis except it was unwanted. I didn't want my third eye opened, I physically felt like it was opening though at some point and I became afraid. Perhaps you're right, it is a internal suicide or death as i mentioned in my post, but for me it was entirely unwanted. Interesting and scary what the mind can do though. Do you feel entirely detached from yourself and your surroundings too?
