Got diagnosed when I was 23 now I am thirty. After in and out of psych wards and rehabs for six times I finally understood that I need meds for my health in 2019 since then till now I am doing great health wise.
The main problem in my life is I am dependent on my parents, who are old. I don’t have a job. We are financially in a good place but my guilt of not being able to earn my own living remains.
I cannot put my concentration on anything for a long time.
To go to a job seems like a big thing to me… I feel too nervous and anxious about how I can handle such things.
No motivation at all as well. I leave a task mid way even simple ones.
So how to differentiate between laziness and negatives?
I think it’s lazy not to battle the negatives. This is a fight, and as with any fight you have to give it your all to win, or just stay on the floor and tap out
Leaving a task mid-way through seems like leaving the fight. Taking a short break and coming back is staying in the fight. Powering through and having negative consequences for days/weeks is fighting too hard.
Stay in the fight, my friend. I know it’s hard, but you gotta try.
Negative symptoms are much more disabling than lazyness. I was an A+ student in school before my sz and still got some A’s while on Abilify so I am definitively not lazy.
When I think of the word lazy I think of people who don’t attempt things that I attempt. But there are reasons why they don’t attempt those same things. I think the word lazy is a terrible word.
Negative symptoms has a spectrum of severity. Again there are reasons for it, one being the medication…
