Does the anhedonia/emotional flatness/numbness actually ever go away?

I began taking wegovy at the beginning of February this year, and am moving up to 2.4mg next week.

I've been one of the lucky ones in that I began seeing weightloss pretty much immediately. I started off at 234lbs at 5'7", and as of this morning I'm now 210lbs. I don't even feel like I can get excited for it though because ever since about month 3 this sense of ​total emotional flattening has settled over me and I'm just.... nothing.

I used to get excited for my days off from work, but now I spend all of them laying around not doing anything. I'm hardly participating in any of my hobbies, ​so I'm not reading, or playing video games, or drawing, or gardening. I should be ecstatic about my weightloss, but instead I'm like "*okay, that's nice. Anyway, time to lay on the bed and do nothing*". ​

Does it ever actually pass, or am I going to be like this for the entire duration of the time I'm taking this medication?

Is there anybody here who used to work for the SSPCA that knows why this sometimes appears in lieu of an animal's photo on adoption arm of the site? Like, is the cat in a witness protection programme or something?

I'm seriously racking my brain and all I can come up with is that maybe an irate former owner is trying to track the animal down again so they can steal them back?

4 years after my original purchase, I can now trade in the boxed 2DS XL I bought from Cex for more than I purchased it for in 2022

I was checking out current prices online, and I was shocked to see that, in only 4 years, the price of these has very nearly doubled.

Cex is usually very stingy with their cash trade-ins, but in this instance if I were to trade it in, I'd be making a £3 profit on what I originally paid. ​

I bought a beautiful dress, but the cups on it are very small and don't really contain me. Would it be possible to take some fabric from the hem and add it to the cups as illustrated? I have a sewing machine that I know how to use, but I'm not very condident

I'm aware that it would leave a seam in the middle of the cups, but the dress has seams all over it as part of the design, so I think it wouldn't look so bad. ​

Partner and I finally got on the ladder beginning of 2025. The kitchen is outdated and in need of a full reno, but we're not going to be able to afford that any time soon, if ever.

Current flooring are some vinyl tiles, and I want to cover them up with a roll of sheet vinyl. The floor is completely flat and level, so no worries about grout lines showing through, but I keep reading online not to diy it and that it's really hard, and I'm struggling to understand why?

It was one fucking Huel Hot n' Savoury pot, only 400 calories.

I'm starting to realise now that maybe with this drug the way the weightloss occurs is because every time you try to eat you get punished by becoming violently ill 😩 ​

Gonna look so hot tho. 🤢.

I like to read subs like BestofRedditorUpdates, amItheasshole etc. Main contributors​ filling the pages are overwhelmingly people from the US, and a common thread I've noticed is how often ​the subject of debt and being in debt is mentioned:

- we moved back into his mom's so I could pay off my debt

- I couldn't make the payments on my car so it got repossessed

- I couldn't make my credit card repayments and now I can't afford the interest

It seems that in the US, having debt is an most a casualised experience—something to be expected to be in and managed haphazardly.

Are the aforementioned examples outliers, or is having debt/s really that normalised for the average American citizen?
