“Walking in the house without purpose, blank mind… the apathy, anhedonia is bad. i feel the nothing 24/7… I cannot feel any emotion, it’s almost like it doesn’t exist anymore.”
Cause
r/TBI first-person OP u/FormalitD (post 1eie7br; same author cluster 1eidc2i/1e6up4k/1esd5bk): toddler head injury (fell/hit head; later posts say fell off roof) with untreated skull deformity/possible craniosynostosis; attributes lifelong quiet/expressionless presentation progressing to blank mind + complete apathy/anhedonia/lack of emotion (suspects CTE).
Duration
lifelong from toddler injury; severe decline described by age 24 at Aug 2024 posts
Recovery notes
No recovery claimed across multi-post Aug 2024 cluster. Notes worsening blank mind, anhedonia 24/7, genital numbness later. Borderline note: u/jvnjii 1etfl0k (2024-08-16) has a near-identical toddler roof-fall + skull-deformity + blank+anhedonia story — possible same person, different handle; not merged (needs Will/CEO decision).
