Physical and sexual anhedonia

Postby Emu567 » Sat Jul 30, 2022 2:36 pm

Hi,
I’m a 26 year old student from wales . I have been hearing voices for the past 3 years . They are loud derogatory , unpleasant and nasty.
For the past couple of months I have been suffering from physical and sexual anhedonia . I used to be a very tactile person. I’d love hugging my relatives and having head massages . Now when I have a head massage my scalp is numb and tense and I literally can’t feel any pleasure from it - no tingling no relaxation- nothing!
I constantly have this discomfort in my head underneath my scalp and nothing satisfies or fufills me. I understand I am not entitled to feel any pleasure and to be honest I never really thought about it until I noticed it was missing .
But all the basic creature comforts I used to enjoy like bathing , drinking a cup of tea , massages , hugging and lying in a cozy bed do nothing for me . I have zero enjoyment. I also feel quite numb emotionally so it’s not just physical . Talking to old friends and close relatives does nothing for me either
So what do I do to regain some pleasure or distract myself?
