Hello to whoever is reading.
I have been experiencing anhedonia for 9 years now, and I am 27. I personally find it worse than regular depression. I have had so many therapists, been on so many meds, yet still can't get much enjoyment from life.
Anyone who has beat this or is working on this have any tips?

Hi @neurodemon , i must have missed seeing the email notifications for your thread when i got back the other week. @Cuddlebear and @AuntGlow were right to tag me here, as i have also had anhedonia as a major part of my depression for 15 years (and im not that much older than you either!).
