I have the same issue that you and G G G unit were talking about. One of my bad habits is to play video games and the game I"m playing came out in 1999! Its also a shooter like modern warfare. Something about nailng a target really clicks something in my head. NO, not waves of pleasure but something. The main difference is the things I did before anhedonia were more productive. I studied music and played guitar all the time. It was obsessive but an obsession that was fun and accepted by others because they enjoyed music. No one cares how many headshots I get playing a game online. I also find that I waste time on the web and craving not so good foods. Its like simple sugars are the only thing that I really care to eat. Just give me soda, iced tea, a bowl of cereal, and a keyboard aand a mouse and i'm good. The guitar? Its got dust on it.
