My negative symptoms cause me to not want to do housework, cause me to not want to take showers or brush my teeth or change my clothes. They cause me to sleep in my clothes. They cause me to abandon my music composition career completely. They cause me to withdraw from socialization and leisure activities with other people. They cause me to never want to leave my apartment except for dinner and a once a week volunteer meeting.

I would say that they are those symptoms that make me lazy and lethargic. That I have no motivation for the smallest thing. That I don’t find pleasure in life anymore. That I don’t feel emotions.

I don’t want to wake up in the morning, feeling depressed, thinking intrusive thoughts, don’t want to go out.
