I appreciated being able to match my own experience against what you describe, and see the degree to which it resonates. The description of Kanodia's, about kind of putting the brakes on at the same time as the gas, is interesting. I don't generally experience ahedonia, but I definitely make aspirational plans for myself and undermine them, but I think it's out of a fear of having to actually do them and failing. I'm curious if ahedonia means it's different, like it's seeing the 'best laid plans' as meh later.
