Description

When motivation dies and everything feels blank, you’re not broken—you’re dissociated. In this video I explain why numbness (anhedonia/emptiness) wipes out motivation and how to function anyway.

You’ll learn three battle-tested strategies: act on values, not feelings; treat yourself like an organic system (sleep, movement, nutrition); and keep showing up for people and hobbies so the spark can return. These are simple—not easy—but they keep your life intact until your feelings come back.

If you’ve lost weeks or years to the void, this gives you a map back: practical steps, zero fluff. Save this for the nights you feel nothing.
