Do you have a daily routine?

I do just about the same thing everyday. Wake up, drink coffee, walk the dog, then plop on the couch and watch TV the rest of the day. I’ve read some schizophrenics do not have a daily routine – every day is different and disorganized. What about you?

I do something similar. My case manager started asking me a lot of questions if I laid in bed all day. She had an issue with that. Nothing wrong with what I normally do though.

daily = wake-up, eat, exercise, surf the web, watch sports on TV & sleep.
weekly = grocery shopping, laundry, shower

I don’t have a routine because I never know what mood I’m going to be in. Sza has this whole mood component that makes it hard to commit to plans. I try to accomplish as much as I can in any given day but honestly I think I have let laziness creep in a little too. Maybe it would be good for me to set up a little routine, something simple that I would be likely to follow through on even on my bad days. What are some ideas for a simple routine?

My therapist wanted me to try out several activities but when I tried it just made me more depressed. I just keep it simple.

I use to have an amazing one until sz or my disorder now I can’t manage to do anything

I didn’t used to, but toddlers do better with strict routines, so now my day is pretty much the same every day.

5-6 get up
6 breakfast and cartoons
7 read books and play
9 snack time
10 naptime
12 lunchtime
4 go for a walk
6 dinner
7 brush teeth, get pajamas on, Star Trek
8 bedtime

now that you have a strict routine because of the toddler do you feel it helps you personally?

Not really? It helps me do more than lay in bed all day, but I don’t think it’s really improved anything else. And I still kind of wish I could just lay in bed all day.

I depend on daily routines
Get up
Walk thirty minutes
Go shop for groceries
Go to volunteer
Come home
Eat and drink
Flunk out on armchair
The snow has rudely taken all this away from me

I get up, drink coffee, take the dogs for a walk, drink coffee, eat lunch, watch tv, drink chamomile, eat dinner, sleep. I do the same things every day.

I do certain things the same. Feed and give my cat his water, make certain meals for me and my friend, etc.
Some days I have extra stuff to do or errands to run.
Sometimes I don’t do much and my friend makes dinner.
So it’s not really the same everyday.
