I would love to hear some anecdotes and thoughts on nootropics offered by ND that would be helpful for anhedonia ( lack of or ability to feel pleasure/ interest ). I’ve been experiencing this for the better part of 3 or so years and feel like I have run the gamut in terms of things tried to correct it.
For background, I have mixed type ADHD, and also struggle with some depersonalization. I weight lift 3 times a week, eat a really good diet, average 7-8 hours sleep a night, socialize regularly, go to therapy, and try and avoid dopamine depleting activities ( no drug/p*rn use).
I’m 30 years old and feel entirely too young to feel this numb. The greatest thing that bothers me is I just feel like there’s nothing I’m personally interested in that I want to pursue in my free time anymore. Whether that be hobbies, interests, even casual pass times like watching movies by myself. I just feel like I’m going through the motions each day. I know when it’s appropriate to laugh, I know when it’s appropriate to smile. But so often, I realize I feel very little behind these outward emotes.
Iol sorry, I didn’t intend for this post to get as bleak as it did, I just really could use some help and would appreciate any recommendations y’all might have to bring some spark back to my life. Thanks!
