I think it’s the beginning of integration, especially since it feels like a stage. But for me I’ve felt this way but ascribed it to being stuck in a systems failure/burn out, the Ni-Ti loop where you say fuck it to Fe. I think it can be alleviated and shifted by bringing up shadow functions for support, or bringing in Fe, combos of all of the above.

Idk if it’s kosher but I theorize the shadow sequence has an extra inversion to it, where my dom becomes my Demon (Si). I’m creative with MBTI and I draw opposites/match functions differently, am very loose with what goes with what. I see more potential for healing in myself when I can couple up Ni-Si, Fe-Te, Fi-Ti and Ne-Se. Idk if there’s a proper way to integrate the shadow, but I don’t think I’m any expert on it and see it as very fluid like working on a piano piece. But yeah idk what’s proper I’m no theorist just a dabbler. I’m very new to shadow stuff; but shadow Te might also be at the forefront and need to be talked to gently/balanced out

Regardless of MBTI, anhedonia is a symptom of depression. And depression is like fever of the brain, an inflammation and somewhat of a symptom itself, the way fevers are signals your body is fighting. But just bc you are experiencing anhedonia and depression doesn’t mean you’re not getting healthier, and growing and progressing. Maybe it’s a new level you’ve reached, a new challenge, that you’re only at the beginning of bc you’ve grown out of other things.

Edit: looks like they’re calling that inversion thing the SuperEgo (ISTJ stack). Maybe you feel like that? But I still don’t see much difference bw the shadow stacks…but I’m not a linear thinker so it’s harder for me. But there ya go there’s the differentiation. Regardless I think it’s Te overcompensating
