Cause

r/anhedonia first-person OP u/RegularPurpose8960 (post 1vkmlgh): TBI. Clear BOTH blank mind + numb/anhedonia/no emotions. Unused; logged via blankedonia_db live hunt 2026-09-13.

Duration

5 months (timeline through month 4-5 at time of post)

Recovery notes

Months 4-5 vs 1-3: DPDR lessened a lot; mind isn't as blank; head pressure gone; hearing depth improved; hunger/sleepy feeling returned; can feel intoxicated from drugs/alcohol but still no euphoria; can feel blind rage and mild physical comfort in bed when tired; neutral/boring replaced dysphoria. OP says only time did this. OP comment (2026-08-10) about libido: "Slightly less than baseline. I have very little desire but physical sensitivity is mostly intact." Anhedonia/substance block (no euphoria) still present.
