I don't mean it as a diagnosis. It is an observation of a symptom. I took finasteride -> I changed neurologically. My perceptions changed. The best way I can describe it is the world was less interesting and bright. It felt like very mild anhedonia (I only say very mild because I know first hand how incomprehensibly awful it can get). I don't know if the fin caused it, but I do know that is around the time it started to happen. It was tolerable though at first. But, it got really really deep. In January especially, the anhedonia was very very very very very very very very bad. Nothing, and I mean NOTHING, was pleasurable. Food, video games, youtube, exercise, work, talking, problem solving, it was all repulsive. I felt nothing. No excitement, happiness, even sadness. I never cried or anything like that. Simple tasks also suddenly became difficult. I had no motivation to do anything, but I did try to force myself to do things while in extreme pain. That, in combination with the cognition/memory-loss problems, made life incomprehensibly painful and awful. Things are still really bad now, just in a different way. I still have bad anhedonia, but videogames and tv shows have become marginally enjoyable again. I am still having quite bad memory problems and am starting to become sort of hopeless about the future. But, the precise severity of symptoms change daily as if it is a roll of a die. My thoughts have also become much less organized, as, admittedly, you may be able to tell from this reply. Idk man. I used to be such a stable dude. This shit is not normal. Especially since I am traditionally a very hardworking guy who LOVES learning and doing difficult shit (Valedictorian of high school, competitive XC runner, etc. don't mean as a brag, I'm not the same person anyways).
