I feel for you man. I don’t know what it is like to have negative symptoms. I’ve kind of have similar situations, not from negative symptoms…but with being stuck. For example, I don’t have enough friends, and I try to get friends…and I still can’t get friends. So I get stuck with not socializing enough. Part of it is because I’m shy.
Yeah, there’s a lot of truth in what you say. I have to agree with it
And idk, I have gained weight, it just fluctuates a lot. The two selfies I have on here, I look thinner because I was working out a lot when those pictures were taken.
In fact, I’m trying to get back into habits of lifting and meditation to fix the weight I currently have. It’s a process though, and I guess I have to be patient

I feel shyness can only be overcome if you find yourself in positions out of comfort and become resilient to them. This is hard for anybody with sz though because working or voluntary work is usually quite difficult to cope with.
If you aren’t as badly affected by negative symptoms, perhaps working or volunteering is worth a shot?

I can’t’ handle volunteering, and I can’t handle working…because I am stressed out and depressed. I also don’t socialize enough, so that stresses me out. I also get episodes, so that is why I don’t work.
So I don’t feel alone,
Or the weight of the stone,
Now that I’ve found somewhere safe
To bury my bone.
And any fool knows a dog needs a home,
A shelter from pigs on the wing.

I don’t feel loneliness at all. My father comes here every couple days. And one worker of him returned back from poland to us. We live in the same house. Since january the 1. I have seen him just 4 times.
I can’t feel lonely. Maybe because there are always some people from time to time.

I hope everybody who does feel alone, gets through it quickly. It only hits me now and then, and when it does, it’s a horrible feeling and situation to be in. I’m a better now, but it does happen !
