It is extremely important in my opinion to keep doing the hobbies regardless that the reward isn't there. A new hobby is even better. You don't want the brain to forget how to process stuff. It's just like a muscle....it has to be exercised or it will degrade even further. Until the day comes when you can see some pleasure again, the point of hobbies is not joy, but rather exercise and health upstairs. It can also play a role in the healing itself, sort of a retraining. Believe me, I know it's hard and seems fruitless. But it's not.
