“cognitive difficulties that I'm having as a result of anhedonia ("Blank mind" for lack of a better term) … very little to no thoughts at all or internal monologue unless it's negative rumination. No spontaneous thoughts, no daydreaming, no thoughts of the future or past, no opinions about any topic (unless it's anhedonia) … There's nothing, just blankness. … Anhedonia is something I have "Thought about" for over two years, as it is a constant presence in my life.”
Cause
r/anhedonia first-person OP u/cheesekransky12 (post 1dbmioe): cognitive blank mind as result of anhedonia — very little/no thoughts or internal monologue (except negative rumination), no spontaneous thoughts/daydreaming/opinions; anhedonia constant >2 years. Cause not named beyond anhedonia (healthcare dismisses cognitive pole). Unused anhedonia-sub BOTH (≠ 16hvhdq/268). Related thin post 16nx2i7 same author not logged separately. Non-Invega.
Duration
Anhedonia + blank/cognitive cluster >2 years at 9 Jun 2024 post
Recovery notes
No recovery claimed. MoCA only failed phonemic fluency; doctors dismiss cognitive reports; emailed researchers no reply. Asks peers how to get clinicians to take blank-mind symptoms seriously. Selftext via arctic-shift.
