Robot,
I appreciate your comments. I too believe that the anhedonia, lack of imagery, etc. are seperate from the depression.
You seem to be saying that the drugs Lexapro and Wellbutrin make you feel not like yourself. I am only taking Lexapro and I still feel like myself, but I am considering adding something to it. My doctor likes Buspar, but I have heard that a dopaminergic drug would better address the anhedonia.
I'll try meditation on your suggestion. You are not the first person to tell me that it is truly helpful. I can identify with not wanting to pursue activities that fail to make you feel good. I'm sick of trying the things that seem to make other people happy. I have to figure something better out.
