APs and negatives symptoms

For the past two years my interest in things has not been the same. For example i use to love skateboarding and playing video games. Now all i do is… well pretty much nothing its even got in the way of working in general. Every single job ive had since ive started invega has been too much for me like i cant learn stuff fast enough to get fast and keep the job. My dad said it could just be i need to find another career field but literally tire shops and warehouse were the only things i could do. I think what gets to me more is the fact that i cant get interested in anything i try. I had to stop skateboarding, i only make like 1 to 3 beats a week, tv is boring for the most part, interest in video games is completely gone, and i dont even find weed to be fun anymore. I read somewhere on here that being on invega at first is hell then you just get use to being in hell after awhile. And thats exactly how it is which is why i try not to speak on it negatively. Ive been told whatever i got going on is real mild. Idk what happened but ever since i moved and started taking invega my interest in alot of things and in life in general has just litterally became a dull fest after bordom carnival. If your bored with life what do you think your problem is? If you cant work how come?

why do you feel taking Invega is like hell?

Hell to me was NOT taking it.

Well not necessarily like being torchered in hell bad but literally a complete lost of interest type of hell which i didnt know existed. Dont get wrong it was a major pain hearing voices all the time i dont want to get that twisted but invega and the psychosis turned me into dullsville. Its like either way i would have been unsatisfied and it makes me wondet if i have sz or just a drug induced psychosis. at first it was hell though cause i was hearing voices and i was depressed and felt suicidal

I was wondering if maybe you can get a hobby.

do you like working with your hands?

Phil does model kits sometimes, but they can get pricey.

Nah its not the same making beats is sort of my hobby everything else i try is pretty much just unsatisfying. It didnt start till i started on APs. Hopefully this feeling will pass or i wont need invega in 1 to 3 years.

I’m 49, and still on it.

I’ve heard that you outgrow sz, but to me it seems like a myth.

Just remember, Life IS boring,
except when it’s not,

like finding cheap entertainment.
