I would say pain or hurt instead of lack of pleasure, but yes if you feel like you are unable to take pleasure in things for whatever reason it can be very stressful and traumatic. And yes when I experience hypomania the anxiety and intrusive thoughts and other symptoms get turned down a lot. I've never read an MI sufferer who wasn't helped greatly in some form by opiates.
