“Can anhedonia blank mind no emotions go away? ... nothing interest me and nothing gives me joy ... i cant appreciate small things in life i cant feel anything ... music was everything to me and now i cant even feel it ... Its been almost a year of this suffering will this ever end?”
Cause
Same person u/DapperBaker5052 (22M): psychosis with manic episodes ~mid-2022, then treatment. Earliest post (May 2023) attributes no inner monologue + blank mind/no imagination + no emotions to olanzapine 2.5 mg (starting two weeks in; doctor said illness; switched to risperidone, unchanged). June 2023 post adds mother's suicide a month prior and frames it in the Psychosis sub without naming a drug.
Duration
~9 months at May 2023 → ~10 months (Jun 8) → 'almost a year' at Jun 28 2023 post
Recovery notes
[2023-06-08, post 144lxmm] Cannabis gave ~20 minutes of music enjoyment/emotions/imagery for the first time in 10 months, then back to 'zombie'. | Asks if anhedonia/blank mind/no emotions can be cured; hopeless; no recovery claimed. Selftext via arctic-shift. No later posts by author in arctic index.
