In my very non-professional opinion, that sounds like depression. I'm pulling on personal experience here. I've felt very similarly. I take medication and see a therapist now. I also don't experience these feelings any more. I don't know if I solved a problem or grew out of a phase. To answer your question, though: I found a friendly community of people that held a similar worldview to me.

  What makes you think taking medicine for depression could potentially lead to brain damage?

  Modern, first-line antidepressant use (SSRI/SNRIs) is not correlated with having a "damaged brain". There's certainly side effects, but most people find the side effects more tolerable than depression itself. And, many are able to use the SSRIs as an adjunct to more permanent therapy and do not need to take the pills long term.

Exactly my first thought. “The core symptom of depression is said to be anhedonia, which refers to loss of interest or a loss of feeling of pleasure in certain activities that usually bring joy to people.” https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Depression_(mood) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Depression_(mood)
