When nothing feels enjoyable
Anhedonia and loss of interest, when activities that used to matter feel flat or unreachable.
You may still know what you used to like, music, friends, hobbies, rest, but reaching for those things feels pointless or oddly distant.
Loss of enjoyment can be a depression signal, especially when it persists across settings and is not explained by a single stressful week.
People often push harder when this happens, hoping discipline will restore feeling. Sometimes that effort deepens exhaustion instead.
Therapy helps you understand what has dulled, what still matters beneath the flatness, and what pace of re-engagement is realistic now.
