Thank god no.

I have had it badly before.
And it still tries to get me every now and then. Horrible.

i get the same symptoms when i'm badly depressed.  i hesitate to say that i have anhedonia per se, though - i'm not into diagnosing every little twitch and quirk and sticking a label on it.

(not saying you are, peter, btw).

It's been a pretty constant, life-long thing for me, separate from my bouts of depression, but often compounding them and probably a major contributing factor to them.

I have some symptoms, but I also believe it is tied to my level of depression at any one time. On the best of days, though, I take little pleasure in eating, because I can't taste most foods, but that's something different.
Yesterday in the eve, in an almost childlike way, I took an extreme pleasure in going to a street festival with live music, despite the rudeness of the crowd, crappiness of the sound, hideous smells of instant foods prepared on the sidewalks, and heat of the day. I get pleasures from the things I love.

Jimi Hendrix: When the power of love overcomes the love of power the world will know peace. 

Ghandi: Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever.

The end result of life's daily pain and suffering, trials and failures, tears and laughter, readings and listenings is an accumulation of wisdom in its purest form.

Sometimes.  It sucks not only because it sucks, but because it makes it that much harder to bootstrap myself out of the accompanying depressive funk.
it is well known that PMS Elle is evil.

You win this thread because that's most unsettling to even think about.

Yes, i consider it to be symptom of depression.
After long periods like that, then Prozac has always sorted me out in the past, i guess i am lucky.
