Anhedonia means difficulty in feeling joy or happiness, and is a common condition in depression.

And no, this isn't some more "mindfulness" tips. I agree with the author of this article that cultivating the ability to enjoy things is a skill, and skills develop with practice. Like most skills, it is hard at first.

But yeah. I just wanted to share this article, in hopes it might help anyone slightly.

obviously this is just an article and mental health especially depression these days is an affect of our material conditions being very hard and as such, for many people true relief is something beyond reading articles or getting therapy. beyond political activities or mutual aid (the latter of which I'm presently unable to contribute), I wish I could help more towards this end. Anyway, I hope we can all make it through to better days.
