You might be thinking to your self “Why is this chick such a downer?” Well, let me explain to you the first of things that important to this story line: Eydis Nastasia, age 23, suffers from a depressive disorder and has the symptoms of which are classified by the Diagnostic Statistical Manual [DSM IV] as Anhedonia [(Greek αν- an-, without + ηδονή hēdonē, pleasure) is an inability to experience pleasure from normally pleasurable life events such as eating, exercise, and social or sexual interaction.]; hence the title “Anhedonia Blue.” I tell you this now instead of later because I think its rather crucial in understanding our hero from a more personal aspect. She sees the world jaded because of her lack of having the ability to feel basic pleasure from being around other people, but here’s the real question (the part I’ll leave to you to figure out), why does she feel so disconnected? Obviously a psychiatrist at some point, in his own understanding of her, felt that she’s far gone enough from other people that medication would be the only way to help her understand what she is feeling, because he couldn’t root in in anything but chemical disorder. But, as any good psychologist would know… there are many factors in why people feel what they feel: environment situations, upbringing, physical health, spiritual health, etc. So now we observe and start understand Eydis as she starts her day and the story that is now truly unfolding.
