wow, that was deep, your my hero! i luv it when i can relate.
you have a huge advantage and asset going for you. you know exactly what your problems are. most people don't know what their problems are. hell, you know what to do! think about it!
That word "anhedonia" is now added in my vocabulary. I'm starting to understand why I had a football scholarship and not an acidemic one for vocabulary.
Every post on here keeps throwing a different pass at me with a new word I have to look up. If I don't get any help off this board I'll spell like a pro at least!
I'm working on "anhedonia" as you so elequintly described it. However my p-doc and i don't have as good as vocab as you, we just call it plain ole "pleasure".
we've been turning up the volume on dopimene and it's not cutting the mustard.
I covertly made an appointment with a psycholigist to understand that lack of "anhedonia" elequintly you mention.
I have it in my mind, I'm going to march in this person's office next week and ask for a full evaluation. Sometimes i wonder is it a lack of pleasure I have or a lack of concentration of pleasure or is it that pleasure is an illusion and only in the mind.
A poet could not have better described "anhedonia".
I understand you don't want advise, but I'll give you some free "guy" advise.
You need to lose the dood! If a guy can't complete you, help you and be your rock what good is he?
My friends and I could never figure out why nice girls/women like bad boys. We call it the bad boy syndrome.
My friends talked me into losing this girl I was seeing. I flew her to new york on weekends, showered her with gifts, fixed her house and the bi#$h choked me, I mean choked my neck. And she would scream, nag and complain about every good thing done for her. Hell, I bought her a diamond ring as a gift, I think it set me back 6 grand, and she complained about the shape.
Dropping that chix was the best thing I ever did besides get some help.
Well theres your guy advise, no med advise like you asked!
Once again nice word use of "anhedonia"!
