“Depersonization/Anxiety/Derealisation/Depression/NO THOUGHTS/ BLANK MIND/No inner monologue/ Anhedonia – This is my biggest priority after this wired thing. Gets SOME better on Mirtazapine… Mirtazapine – No change to Wired, happiest I've been in years, helped my depersonization, depression, anhedonia / emotions”

Cause: high stress / breakup / 'nervous breakdown' then depersonalization/anxiety/derealisation/depression cluster. Blank mind + anhedonia listed as year-before-wired priority symptoms. Later tried many psych meds for wired insomnia (incl. Xanax & clonazepam PRN) — not claimed as the trigger of the blank+anhedonia pole. Same username also on earlier insomnia/blank-mind thread 548135 (Nov 2016).
Duration: blank+anhedonia from ~year before Jan 2018 post (onset after breakdown; ~years into multi-symptom course at posting); still ongoing; mirtazapine helped some
Recovery notes: Mirtazapine: 'happiest I've been in years, helped my depersonization, depression, anhedonia / emotions' but stopped to tackle wired insomnia; says blank/anhedonia 'Gets SOME better on Mirtazapine.' Wired/insomnia not resolved. Username anon87974465 / nh_user_1108091.
