Barely surviving

it is very difficult for me to get through the day.
There are people who are lucky and people who are really unlucky.
I am among the least lucky people on this planet.
With great difficulty I manage to survive, although it is really difficult.

I know the feeling. We’re in the same boat, even though our symptoms may differ.

I’m sorry you’re having these experiences.

Do you have any hobbies to distract you from this? Were you the one who likes chess a lot? Can you get into chess even more?

Maybe play online?
chess dot com has tournaments every day, would that interest you?

@HQuinn I play chess online but that doesn’t change what I wrote.

What about that 8ball mini clip game then

Pretty addictive

hi, why is your day difficult - negative symptoms like flattening of everything, positives like voices/hallucinations ?
may be easier to help with more information…

@mexxem I am very bad in that I have no physical energy.
I am physically very weak.
That, in addition to the usual cognitive symptoms.
The thing is that this illness has weakened me a great deal physically,despite that I exercise when I can, in addition to very severe
cognitive impairment.
Maybe I have something in addition now, like a virus.

It seems like you have been going through a tough time lately and have been dwelling on your illness, @Erez_Shmerling. I have no words other than you’ll get through this and someday soon you’ll feel a bit better than you are feeling today.

I don’t like to write about myself, it comes across bad, but since in I opened this topic being in an atrocious state
I would like to update: feel slightly better.

it’s good you’re feeling slightly better

I’m sorry you’re feeling so down right now @Erez_Shmerling. Do you have a therapist you can talk to? They could help you figure out ways to focus more on the positive and less on the negative. Take care.

yeah… maybe see a doc… could be sick, hope you feel better soon :slight_smile:

Modafinal could help you wake up. My drs were hesitant to prescribe but after some pursuasion I was able to get a script. Helps with energy and cognitive function. I don’t know why it’s not prescribed more

Have you had an ecg or ekg recently? Your blood pressure might be making you feel weak. It is common for AP to change blood pressure
