Why can I not feel any real happiness??
Question: I have lived a life marred by anhedonia. I have tried to self-medicate and failed. I am no longer doing so but still my anhedonic self. What do I need to do to feel happiness instead of emptiness, apathy, and nihilism?
I have recieved rather intense psychotherapy which has not had a noticable difference in my life.
(Say Prozac or any SSRI, Welbutrin, or Effexor, and I'll kill you (metaphoric, of course), and I have been there anyway.)
Answers: real happiness comes when u find the real truth
New experiences are at least interesting. They may not be good, or bad, or much of anything, but they'll at least keep life from becoming too....you know. As for what new experiences, that's for you to figure out. But are you in front of the computer for a lot of the day? It makes me pretty depressed if I do that.
But yeah, new experiences. And think small and realistically when coming up with them. It may not take much.
Realy look at yourself, can you laugh and joke a bit?
Happiness comes from within.. Seek to help others and forget about trying just to MAKE, YOU, happy and happiness will follow.. Good Luck and God bless. {:-) <>< So many people could be really blessed by your experiences.. Stop thinking about YOU...
When you stop looking for happiness and start embracing what you have, friends, family, personal ideas and beliefs. Find something you really enjoy, and go with it. SSRI's are dangerous in your situation, they can definately make you swing a lot more into a depression. And stop looking for happiness, only you can define what makes you happy in the first place. Even if something seems gay, dumb or adolescent, just roll with it. Try enjoying what is around you all the time, find the better things in life. Such as when I am walking my dog, and I pass a budding flower, I embrace the smell and the physical beauty of it. (Sounds pretty gay, but damn do some of these flowers just smell awesome)

well,your case might be chronic minor depression.the best way to handle such cases is by trying to uncover the origional causation of it .
drugs might help but only part of the solution.
what you need is long term supportive psychotherapy.
try to find a goal in your life,you will feel much better.

real happiness comes from your heart!!!...
I know this is prob something alot of people are going to tell you, but happiness truley does come from within. You need to learn to be happy and content with yourself before you can expect others to. If you go out into life with a possitive attitude you will get a possitive responce, but if you go out into the big bad world with a bad attitude or outlook on life, you only going to attract the not so nice. You need to change your attitude and need to realise what makes you happy and once you do that, then there's no stopping you. You will be happy with yourself and will be able to achieve far better outlook on life.
Well I don't really think you need drugs to make you happy. Happiness doesn't work that way. It best to learn the truth on everything. That when you see all the baddness in this world you'll be finally able to see true happiness
Just change your mind. Feel something in opposite side. Happiness comes within yourself. Love yourself, be nice to yourself. Then starting from a single point like I did: I feel that I am breathing, concentrate on my breath in and out, and then do realize that there would be many others out there who suffer from difficulties, problems (I mean natural, unwanted) in breathing. Think positively that I do get a better luck than others cause I can breath easily and without any difficulty. That is called happiness.
From a single point I go to the next and the next, at the end I have a million, million reasons to be happy myself. Then I love my life so much, then love others. That is called happiness.
Stay happy, always
Changing someone's mind is not that easy. It's hard, very hard to do. But as soon as you do not try to change from a very single point, you never know if you are able to start changing your mind. Change and think more positively.
It sound like a cliche but, you might be trying to hard to find happiness.
