Anyone who’s had periods of Anhedonia during depressive episodes, when did you finally start wanting to watch shows again or read books?

I’m finally coming out of a horrible depression but still can’t quite bring myself to fully care about movies or shows. I miss them and I’m so bored watching reels for hours. I’m not even interested in reading which I used to love. I’ve been feeling better for weeks now, but still loss of interest.

I really don’t know how to rebuild after a year long Manic/mixed episode. I’m wildly in debt now and want to move back home. I’m currently working two days a week, but don’t go out of my room other than that. I don’t cook, I eat chips and McDonald’s, I’d been planning on dying for several weeks but am no longer that depressed so I have life, but no idea what to do with it. I no longer want to pursue the lifelong dreams that I had for the previous five years, I tried going back to college but a depressive episode made me withdraw two semesters in. I just don’t know what to do now that I’ve decided to stay alive.
