“Almost every waking moment from sunrise to sleep it's like I'm not thinking a single thought. By thought I guess I'm referring to that "inner monologue"… The anhedonia. Yes, it sucks. … My mind is gone.”

Cause: r/StopSpeeding first-person OP u/adman4019 (post 1qm4upd): Adderall/Vyvanse addiction ~4 years; frames total blank mind (lost inner monologue) + anhedonia/depression/zero energy as PAWS during quit attempts (furthest clean stretch ~4 months prior year).
Duration: ~4 years stimulant addiction; blank+anhedonia during quit attempts; farthest clean ~4 months then relapse; still describing cluster at Jan 2026 post
Recovery notes: Asks if blank mind/derealization 99% of waking time is normal during PAWS. No recovery claimed; isolates due to symptoms.
