Okay, I just had to look up anhedonia in the dictionary... are you all talking about an inability to experience pleasure in general, or is this with regards to sexual pleasure? (Since I have anhedonia both generally and sexual, I guess it doesn' really matter!)
Yes, I agree, it sucks. To say it "sucks" is sort of a joke, since it is so way beyond "sucking." It does in fact lead us to the question, "why bother?"
That is a low and dark place to be, people. Not cool. That's when we need to get on this board and remember that we are not alone, and maybe even laugh a little. If you haven't tried every med on the planet yet, then there is still hope. And if you HAVE tried every med on the planet, then you get to try every combonation and cocktail (that should keep us busy and give reason to hope for several years).
This is all assuming one is not spiritual, for if you "believe," then there is always hope. But I am in danger of getting off the topic and getting a warning from the D-Bob:-)
