How to treat anhedonia?

No pleasure at all. No pleasure in doing ctb so not even going to do that.

at least for me i just have to wait for it to go away in a day or two. sometimes scrolling pinterest and looking at art helps and listening to angry music. ive gotten better since ive started lexapro. sorry i dont have an answer for you

I have been struggling with anhedonia as a symptom of my depression and PTSD for many months now so going out into the world seems pointless. Yet I keep trying to put myself out there until, hopefully, it passes and allows me to feel something... anything... again.

i've struggled with this and come out the other side multiple times. it's horrible to experience it, and the route out is hard, too. what works for me is literally forcing myself to do things i like, even when i get no pleasure out of them. i have to do it over and over and over again, and eventually i'll get a spark of something. then i chase it and use it as motivation.
