You’re not unmotivated. Your reward system is depleted.

Anhedonia — the inability to feel pleasure — is one of the core features of depression most people don’t talk about. Your dopamine system has gone quiet, so nothing feels worth the effort.

Treatment doesn’t just reduce sadness. It brings the reward system back online.

I just stared reading #AutisticMenopause, and I LOVE how they describe Autistic people as Autistic experts. #bookstodon #ActuallyAutistic

I took part in a first session of what will hopefully become a series of #AutisticMenopause sessions today and this could be really helpful for us autistic wifies in general. A common thread was how our sensory profiles went through the roof, which came as a shock to the many of us late-discovery. Can’t wait to get my mitts on a copy.
