What is the cure for anhedonia

[killchad]

This is the worse thing ever for an incel because you can't even cope, none of the copes work properly. I used to cope with fiction, drown in it and obsess over a few years ago when I didn't know what an incel was, but now I can't enjoy anything. Everything is boring and unenjoyable. Even when I force myself to enjoy stuff, or like them a little, it's not the same as the few years back. Lack of pleasure in anything is killing me, I can't enjoy fiction, music, etc. the only thing I like is food but not even that is the same as before. It feels numb and hollow. I just wish there was a cure for Anhedonia. I'm even considering NoFap, maybe that'll fix things. Does anyone know a cure or fix? I've been like this for months

physical activity, preferably outside.

I do physical activity(5 days of the week I take a 2 hours long walk outside), doesn't look like it has done much. My peak of pleasure and sensitivity to food and music was in the pandemic when I had stayed in the house for a year

Probably getting off the internet

Probably getting off the internet

For how long?

 

[wereq]

@kay' knows.

 

[justuseless]

For how long?

Maybe 2 weeks

 

[killchad]

Maybe 2 weeks

I didn't listen to music for a month and it didn't bring back my enjoyment of it, but I guess it wouldn't hurt to try that with internet.

This pretty much, anhedonia is caused by low dopamine activity.

Chances are that your dopamine receptors are fried and that you may not engage in activities that stimulate healthy dopamine release. Exercise is a great one, especially something like HIIT. It can increase dopamine production and release even after single session, for a week.

Meditation also helps.

But abstaining from high dopamine activities is the first step honestly. Like porn, masturbation, drugs, endless scrolling on the interwebs.

Pepper spraying normies and foids should work.

Walking isn't really good for that because it gives you time to overthink things (bad) and it's low intensity.
For me, walking in the city actually makes me feel WORSE because of all the happy couples I see.
Try finding something that's more engaging and distracting.

Yeah my brain is probably fried. Will look into HIIT thanks for the advice.

Mine too

 

[killchad]

Sex or death

None is an option

 

[WeirdPanda]

I wish I had anhedonia. I feel way too much, so much that everyday feels like 24/7 anxiety and pain

 

[Friezacel]

None is an option

over for you then

 

[Man]

Be a bad person
Be a dickhead
Be the problem

Now life is interesting.

 

[pizzamaxxer]

Do some bad shit

My chronic boredom is just as much if not more of a problem for me than inceldom. If it wasn't for anhedonia I'd be way more whitepilled and in turn care about my inceldom less because I would have other things to fill the void. But at the moment I have nothing

Find something to obsess over. An anime, show, programming, whatever. I wish I could.

I'm too much of a coward unfortunately

Yeah same for me

Its basically just sprinting as fast as you can or at 90% speed for 20-30 seconds, resting, and sprinting again. Its very good for your heart, lungs and brain.

To take a break from screen time unironically. The receptors need Healing time. You dont need to go for a walk, if you have a comfy backyard or something. It may be a bit Hard at first, but quit the internet for a week.

Wait for results.
