“Anhedonia & numbness: I can’t feel pleasure, motivation, or emotional connection. … Blank mind: My thoughts feel flat or blocked, like my brain is frozen.”
Cause
r/anhedonia first-person OP u/Kurali (post 1mo9qhl): uncertain self-attribution among chronic freeze / nervous-system dysregulation / possible PSSD / cannabis panic attacks; clear BOTH blank mind (thoughts flat/blocked) + anhedonia/emotional numbness. Notes stimulants give adrenaline without euphoria; psilocybin increased anhedonia/numbness.
Duration
chronic / steadily deteriorating at Aug 2025 (exact onset not dated)
Recovery notes
No substance (rec or therapeutic) restores positive/mood effects. No recovery claimed.
