Kindle Notes & Highlights
Anhedonia literally means “without pleasure.” In this type of depression, you don’t feel much of anything. No matter if the things you encounter are extremely happy or entirely sad, you feel emotionally vacant.
You might turn down many opportunities that could be helpful simply because the mere thought of doing anything makes every muscle in your body cry.
Things just seem to hit you harder than they should.
Basically, everything feels like it sucks, so what is the point of doing anything?
You don’t have to be motivated to do things that normally take motivation.
