It is easy to become depressed or anxious with Anosmia. Living alone would make it worse, as living with a partner means you can ask that person "Is this food spoiled?" , since you cannot smell if it is "off". They could also tell you if there is a gas leak in your home. Have smoke alarms installed and working since you will not be able to smell smoke. Not knowing if this condition is a precursor to Parkinson's disease or Alzheimer's can be distressing. I would suggest pursuing this further with your doctors, and not giving up. It is depressing to think that you will never be able to smell food again, and this condition definitely affects your enjoyment of eating out, so could potentially affect social interactions. It is sad to realize that your sense of smell affects your ability to recall sense-induced memories.
