Next would be not enjoying some of the things that you previously enjoyed. So not really being able to find satisfaction in life. So some of the things whether it’s going out to eat or going to see a movie. Or doing some things that generally would maybe evoke good feelings are more mutual flat kind of feelings and experience.
