I’m here and wide awake lol

I can’t talk a lot. On Thanksgiving my dad made me go to my stepmom’s parents and I just stared at the kitchen table until my dad said I could go watch football. It was embarrassing.

No I’m not, I used to be able to hold some sort of conversation (not very well), but apathy/anhedonia, blank mind, and meds all feed into it. I could probably hold a conversation about my schizophrenia and major depression better than I could anything else rn. But I don’t like to bring it up too often. People might want to try to fix it, not know how to react, or be disturbed by it. When you’re living in pain it’s kind of hard not to focus on the pain.

Conversation feels pressured, it’s hard to think while speaking, and I have disorganized thought.

I can’t talk a lot either, but I’m comfortable like this around my family, like mom, grandparents, siblings. Just sucks when the conversation feels pressured and pointless.

I am now, but I had to learn the skill. Or re-learn it, as it were.

I can hold a conversation for about 30 minutes. Then it’s tumbleweeds.
