My psych tells me that this is a (let's say) conspiracy. So I say 'Why isn't boredom or emptiness (or I don't know what) a mental illness? Well, you need a bit of fun someplace and this is where he and I find it.
But what's your background? SSRI's? Post SSRI anhedonia? Bipolar? Life is too chock full of tragedy to be just liveable. I always feel that everything is so beautiful and it feels so awful. And really, I think that is quite valid. No DSM for me. Western cultural imperialist project? That is what a few good glasses of red does for you. Dumb drug of course. I was going to say at least I can handle it.
