Immediate temporary relief from anhedonia?

[CantDoIt]

Does anyone have any like, substance suggestions for immediate temporary relief from anhedonia? I would like to be able to feel more fulfilled and "in the moment" when I'm trying to do things and so far the only fulfilling activity for me is looking up things about death.

Cannabis might be a good temporary fix if its available for you. I usually feel much more in the moment if I have a joint or something.

Cannabis helps with that for many people, with limited problematic side-effects. I would definitely suggest that first.

Amphetamine/methamphetamine can help with that too, though i find the downsides are too much so it is not worth it for me.

Probably all sorts of recreational drugs can help and it really depends on the individual which one is best to use, if any. Effects are extremely variable depending on on the person, the dosage and situation.

Gonna try cannabis. I have ADHD and would definitely get addicted to meth even if it "helped" based on my previous caffeine dependency haha.

Same with Cannabis for some, including me. Decreases anxiety in the moment but, makes anxiety & depresson & creativity worse after stopping - although this doesnt last long but can be enough to stop me functioning for days.... Been a long term smoker i.e. decades on & off.

Microdosing shrooms might help you

Maybe shrooms. There have been some decent studies recently on how they can help folks with depression and even "terminal" depression. Anhedonia is part of depression so I assume they may help. The effects seem to be long-lasting though.
