Things were starting to feel rather boring at home—the same old places, the same old food, the same old sunsets. I’ve learned to be very wary of boredom, because it’s a close cousin to one of my least favorite symptoms of depression: anhedonia. Anhedonia is the inability to experience pleasure; things that used to give you pleasure (that amazing Malibu sunset, for example) no longer move you the same way.
