“my mind goes blank a lot... I feel nothing, but immense despair at the same time... Ive felt this way everyday for 8 years... I also dont feel love, or like empathy at all. My mind is not letting me talk about this any further as all my thoughts have gone blank.”
Cause
r/anhedonia first-person OP u/Coral_Reef_Fish13 (post 1wp3y63, 20F per later post): long-term depression ('I dont know why'), OCD mentioned elsewhere; on Zoloft 8 years. Treatment-resistant: 45 days TMS, 6 ketamine treatments, Cymbalta, Prozac, Zoloft, Lexapro, citalopram, bupropion — nothing helped. Mind goes blank / thoughts go blank + feels nothing, no love or empathy.
Duration
~8 years daily at Sep 2026 post, worsening
Recovery notes
Nothing has helped (TMS, ketamine, multiple antidepressants). No recovery claimed.
