Anyone here suffered/suffers from Anhedonia?

I am pretty sure this is normal. It ups and downs are many in this reboot.

 

Yep I'm dealing with it, but I think it's slowly starting to fade away after about a month and a half.

 

Did you overcome Anhedonia after 420 days of nofap?

 

All the time currently. Seems to coincide with a massive increase in anxiety/stress for me. Invariably it seems after three weeks into every reboot I’ve attempted thus far the withdrawals hit me like a freight train. Most of my hobbies are completely meaningless to me during this time, which is one of the hardest things for me in dealing with this…

 

I think I had anhedonia to some degree for the better part of two decades. It got especially bad a few years ago. It was one of the reasons I thought I was clinically depressed and started seeing a psychologist again, but she said I only scored slightly elevated on the depression scale. Now I think it was connected to PM. Since I've cut those out it's been easier to enjoy things and I don't quickly lose interest the way I used to.

 

I have anhedonia too.

 

How long should It take?

 

Has anyone here who's experienced anhedonia also had problems with avolition (loss of motivation)? They went together for me. I frequently had trouble working up the motivation to do even smaller tasks until there was a looming deadline. It's been improving in parallel with the anhedonia.

 

I do, and it is everything due to taking olanzapine just for 2 months. I'm starting with NoFap again and fasts. I feel completely the same as you 0 motivation. So this is a flatline even before starting.

 

I have had it for years and its because of fapping. When I quit PMO I usually start to feel better around 100 days. Then the anhedonia will start to lift and I can feel normal emotions again. It feels like a rebirth. Then BAM I hit flatline again with anxiety, depression around 120 days. Then I relapse and have good PMO binges and then the anhedonia returns full force. I never made it past 120 days.

 

Loss of motivation is part of anhedonia. I have not felt motivation in years. I felt motivation in 2014 when I made it to 120 days. After that I relapsed and never made it past 50 days since then. Its all PMO related for me.
