“Suffering badly from Post Psychosis Anhedonia Everything seems dead, my body is fueled by adrenaline but with zero dopamine No joy from anything, blank mind, no personal Inner world no imagination no direction to life, no connection to anyone no love Nothing Dopaminergic works, it feels like the DA circuits in my brain are totally disconnected Being 24/7 hyper vigilant feels like it's ruining my body ability to heal and rest The light is gone from my eyes No meds work because I barely feel human it doesn't touch my consciousness Exercise does nothing, I am unable to feel the sun on my body, socializing is a chore with no connection and no oxytocin and nothing to contribute due to blank mind Wtf should I do in this state? I'm literally bed bound for months and nothing seems to help anymore, I don't respond to any substance anymore. Any advice or recovery experience?”
