I told my father that I have used 13 aps, typical and atypical, new and old ones but nothing helps. He said that I don’t help myself.
I should change attitude, I should work, occupy my mind with projects, music, poetry, whatever.
Well,easier said than done.

even if the meds worked perfectly its not gonna make you automatically do everything people without sz do. you would still have to push yourself, its hard and sometimes things dont always work out even when you push through the symptoms but its not impossible. i think we tend to be more self conscious and focus on symptoms alot but sometimes you just gotta know what you want to do and do it even if you feel incapable

One of the things about life which I appreciate
is my ability to enjoy hobbies.
Prior to being introduced to paranoia I was suffering morbid depression which also triggered another problem making things which I enjoyed feel stale and would bring about anxiety if I tried to force engage myself in them.
I remember when my enjoyment of those hobbies finally returned I never let them go.
If everything is feeling stale for you right now that will pass eventually and naturally. There’s not much you can do to expedite that part of the illness. For me it took about eight months during which the only thing I found enjoyable were re-runs of Seinfeld and Frasier…one hour of enjoyment out of each day which was otherwise very dreary, dull, gray, bleak and heartbroken as if my parents had just died the day before it.

You scared me, I thought you were challenging me to a fight. Whew, I was paranoid there for a second.

I’d get a new mental health team if they cant see those goals are too high for you right now.
