I am reaching out to ask for support and insight into finding some color in my black surrounding funk. . Anhedonia means lack of joy . My son died 2 years ago and a part of me died then too. He died on a friday at work from a heart attack and when Fridays come around my world gets darker. I know there is no time limit on grieving and mourning,
I need to exercise for health and just get lost in self pity. Can anyone relate and wish to offer support and help.
This is my first post on the site and am praying for compassion.....

Hello Laphi24, i quite understand the dark days after losing your son, it must be heart rending for you. But like you i should exercise but i dont, i absolutely hate it, but i do keep busy working outside and oddly once i get started on the garden i do get a certain relief and i can get occupied ,it helps to clear my mind. You are correct there is no time limit on grieving it can take over every hour of the day as i know so well, i lost my beloved partner almost 5 years ago but the pain of loss never goes away. I get good days and bad days but i persevere and try to get through, its all we can do.
I am very sorry. There is no way to compensate for your loss and it is a terrible one. The only thing I can suggest is to exercise as much as you can, and to see a psychiatrist on an ongoing basis to talk about your feelings. I have lost a husband, but I think your loss is even worse. You certainly do have all of my compassion. It is good that you have come to this site. b1
