@drjudithjoseph: Listen 🎧 to the new episode @themelrobbinspodcast that dropped today! Do you cope with unsettling situations or difficult feelings by just NOT feeling? 🤔 This sense of “blah” or “meh” may be due to Anhedonia 👉 a lack of joy and pleasure. The issue with numbing and not feeling pain is that you may also turn yourself off to feeling joy too. 📣 Happiness is a work in progress and if we are too busy to enjoy the daily simple pleasures like enjoying meals, enjoying rest and taking time to savor moments we may just become too busy to become happier. In my research in #HighFunctioningDepression people often don’t take the time to enjoy the simple joys and this may lead to emptiness that makes people feel like they are on autopilot. If you are resonating with the feelings I describe in my episode with @Mel Robbins on the most recent episode of The Mel Robbins Podcast I highly suggest you take my Anhedonia and HFD Quiz at the link in my bio! You can find the full episode there, too. Disclaimer: You may want to consider your individual mental health needs with a licensed medical professional. This page is not medical advice.
