It happens, it can take years but your brain eventually resets back to a certain norm. My friend's brother was a heroin addict for years, thought he would never be happy again until 3 years later when he got a donut over at Dunkin' and said it was the first normal happy feeling he'd had in years. Simple pleasures will be there, you just have to wait for them.

Ocean Ramsay: gently swims with sharks people have been afraid of for centuries and gives them boops.

Interesting. The person I know has been on SSRIs for years and years (unmonitored as they stopped seeing psychiatrist but the prescription just kept getting renewed without checking in). They just recently had a major episode so they upped it but the anhedonia they have been feeling for years is getting worse. The good thing is therapy/psychiatrist is now a weekly thing. So hopefully as with you the SSRIs can move them through this episode but they can be adjusted downward in time to help with the lack of emotions

I was on SSRI’s to get through the major episode, about 1.5 years to stabilize and then I went off them in order to feel “normal” again.

Oddly enough, SSRI’s would make me rage the fuck out every now and again. Never in my life have I experienced rage the way that I did on SSRI’s.
