Living in the Cage : Anhedonia

Living with anhedonia is like, living in the cage!

When a person become numb everyday life becomes burden to him or her, initially it feels like, everything has an end and nothing is permanent, but when everyday you wake up with almost no emotions, life becomes burden for you.

Sometime you think of ending it, then you feel that the life you have is not even yours, you have to think of your family if you are planning to quit!

As I feel about emotions, I didn’t know the value of emotions until I experience Anhedonia where I went emotionally numb. Now I realize how important it is to have emotions!

What you do in your daily life, if you are doing good or bad, emotions play a vital role in that such as

1. when you build up a business, you feel passionate about it.
2. when you get into the relationship, you feel affection for someone you have desire to live rest of the life with him or her
3. when you are on red light and some beggars come to you, you feel kindness from inside, that make you a good human
4. when you are on road and you see a stray dog, sitting on the road looking at people with hope of some food, you feed him something because you felt kindness from inside for them
5. when an unknown person helps you, you feel the gratefulness, and feeling of gratitude is responsible for that
6. when someone wishes you “happy birthday”, you feel happiness from inside
7. when someone misses you, you feel good from inside but what if you have to fake it you are missing them too, because more than you missing someone you missing yourself own the character that you lost in the storm of Anhedonia
8. when your close friend (touchwood) dies, you feel sad, what if you don’t care and this numbness is caused by anhedonia
9. what if you see your parents in pain, and you feel nothing
10. If you want to be something, that’s because you feel a strong desire to dominate or to shine

These all feelings can be lost literally in few days, if you are suffering from anhedonia. Moreover nobody will come to know what’s happening with you, they will just blame you that you are becoming selfish, but from inside only you know the battle you are in.

Life can never be good without emotions!

Emotions is like a essential component or key ingredient in the happy life!

Life is like a tea and emotions are like sugar in it!
