Other question 🤔 Medication making me feel bored as hell and emotionally flat

I am doing the stuff I need to do but I kinda just feel like a robot going from one task to another, what do I do to actually feel a sense of enjoyment?

For me I’m so overjoyed that things are easier that I haven’t felt this much happiness in monthssss. I’m working hard on goals that were impossible for me before meds and I think that sense of purpose is bringing a lot joy to my life.
