Been mostly bed bound the last few years on 15mg aripiprazole, 5mg haloperidol and 10mg amitriptyline though I have cirrhosis and am frightened to be living alone
[neighbours/voices/autistic failure to habituate to stimuli [poor noise insulation - neighbours work [on the phone] from home]]ā¦ Bed feels āsafestā.
However Iām off the neuroleptics now and have the energy/drive a few hours most days to do stuff even if it angers the voices [they [or the neighbours?] donāt always like me singing!].
Often though I am not active until my support worker arrives [9hr/week]. Very thankful for them even though they are not specifically autism trained [despite assessing social worker recommendations].

Thanks Andrey!
Neighbours kindly used to put a stone each on an outside brick when they were out which I could see with a camera I had.
That helped me if I was struggling to know if I was hearing voices or them, but for some reason they stopped and they rarely go out anyway.
Couple years ago I tried a group home but that didnāt work out.
Fortunately the neighbours are leaving soon and a GP moving in and SHE [great because itās the manās voice on the phone that travels most, being deeper] will be out working at the local hospital and hopefully Iāll feel a lot more comfortable/less intimidated.
My negatives are markedly improving off the neuroleptics and I am eager to return to singing, playing instruments, composing and recording again [after [another] five years].
I have hope again which is greatā¦ now just need to stay out of psychosis.
I hope you are never bed bound with negatives again. Lifeās too short.

Thanks, itās not been bad today. Just a bit irritable and intense. Heard neighbour/voices very little.
I hope your fatigue/anxiety/breathing improve.
Piano music is cool. I have a digital piano I got in my early forties, half thought about dusting it off and getting on it today with headphones.
Not much good at it. I think you need to start really young to be a pro. And of course put in the hours.
I enjoyed listening to @skinnyme earlier.
Lying outside in the garden sounds good as well.

Sleeping is a form of escape. I think thatās why I nap.

I spend about 10 hours sleeping. And maybe 30 minutes on the couch with eyes closed. Other than that Iām up. Unless Iām sick with influenza or something, but even then I will get up in between to avoid getting āliedownā soreness.

Wow, i totally get why they would call it that but nobody likes to feel like they are rotting away, sometimes people just cant help it as they are just very tired a lot or exhausted, its not their fault, Iām not 100% but Iām sure if they had the choice theyād be doing something productive if they were able.
@Zoe good luck for the job,
I saw something yesterday but it stated Iād need a car and i had to give the car up now 
Thanks @Ivor_Scruluce for the kind words
