Before Therapy: The Silence I Couldn't Explain
For months, I wasn’t sad.
I wasn’t angry.
I wasn’t overwhelmed.
I was just... blank.
The shows I once binge-watched felt like noise.
Food tasted the same, no matter what I ate.
Friends called, but I silenced the phone.
Even wins at work didn’t register.
I wasn’t in crisis. I wasn’t crying.
I was simply existing.
One day, I typed it into Google:
“Why don’t I feel anything anymore?”
I found a word I’d never heard before — anhedonia.
A condition where you lose the ability to feel joy, pleasure, or even motivation.
And the scary part? It’s not just a symptom of depression. It can be the depression.
The Turning Point: Starting My First Online Counselling Session
Something about the word anhedonia stayed with me. It felt... clinical. Validating. Like this fog I was in had a name.
I didn’t want to walk into a clinic.
I wanted privacy. Comfort. My own pace.
That’s when I found Click2Pro’s online counselling session model — discreet, flexible, and matched with trained professionals.
I filled out the form, got matched in 24 hours, and started weekly sessions with Dr. Avni Sharma — a highly rated Best Psychologist Counsellor in Delhi.
After Therapy: I Didn’t Just Feel Better — I Felt Again
It didn’t change overnight.
Session 1: I told her I felt like a ghost.
Session 3: I admitted I stopped listening to music because it made me feel even more hollow.
Session 6: I cried — not because I was sad, but because I realized I hadn’t cried in six months.
By session 10, I woke up one morning and actually looked forward to something: a walk in the park. Just 20 minutes. Just me.
It wasn’t a miracle.
It was slow, steady reconnection — to my body, to my environment, to myself.
What I Learned About Anhedonia — and Myself
-
Anhedonia isn’t laziness. It’s a neuropsychological shutdown.
-
Therapy doesn’t “fix” you. It reintroduces you to who you were before survival mode took over.
-
You don’t need to feel bad to get help. Feeling nothing is a call for help too.
