But you hesitate and hesitate. Case in point I need to change my sheet.duvet cover and pillow cases but need to wash the other set first. Keep putting it off as though it’s too much of a task. I do eventually do it but it takes ages to get round to it.
Everything is a chore for me - I keep postponing things.
I have to call my family doctor and order meds, I keep avoiding it - too much work for me, everything is a big job - cannot deal with simple tasks.
Its getting to be too much for me to deal with it all - I quickly get overwhelmed!

I think that’s often the problem with me. I don’t know whether it’s a cognitive issue or not. Though a part of me suspects so.

Maybe adding another antipsychotic to my current Risperdal is a good idea, I dont know.
All I do know is that I feel overwhelmed a lot - simple small tasks are becoming mountains!
I think that my Anxiety is playing a role in all of this also
Have you tried ordering some Sarcosine. It seems to get me motivated like I haven’t been in a while . I have many things to attend to just around my aging house and repairs on my aging truck as well. I ran out about five days ago and so ordered some more. I will know for sure if it was responsible for the increased motivation I had when taking it for a couple months for I have been loosing my motivation again slowly since running out.
Do they have home deliveries for what you can order online?
I agree that anxiety doesn’t help.

I get bored easily once I wake up and manage to eat and take my meds and drink coffee. I have low negative symptoms but when they flare up its pretty bad. Driving in this city sucks. Sometimes just the drive to school or the gym or to go get food drives me nuts.
I self medicate with caffeine and nicotine. CNS stimulants.
Right now I have felt all of my meds kick in and I’m feeling agitated and restless. This is where the working out comes into play. After this damn two hour class in an hour and then lunch in going to the gym with a buddy.
I have anger issues. Exercise helps me stay sane. I have to drink a strong caffeinated drink to lift but I work the stuff off. I mean I push my body to its limit when I lift. My workouts are designed to be “hardcore”. Whatever body part I work is sore the next few days. I finish ten sets of ten reps with heavy weight within half an hour. People think I must workout like two hours a day, but I don’t, I workout like thirty minutes three to four times a week. The real hard work is eating so much protein and hydrating.
But yeah when I wake up I have negative symptoms, I take a while to get out of bed and dress myself then drink a double espresso then eat and take my meds. It’s basically a speedball, heavy downers and a lot caffeine. Makes for one high and functioning schizophrenic. Oh wait, I meant highly functioning. No Freudian slip there. Nope.

I was that way for decades. (Of course, I had PTSD with bipolar flip-flopping and GAD at minimum for decades, so… duh.)
Then I discovered DBT- and ACT-brand mindfulness-based cognitive psycotherapy! I swill the stuff down like Hershey’s dark chocolate. Works great! Tastes great, too!

Yeah I am all about the militant attitude when it comes to mental illness. “The only easy day was yesterday.” so on and so forth. I generally do feel like crap, I’m either half awake because I was wide awake the night before or I am agitated.
I have gotten into my physique and health again, I’m cutting weight. It’s time to chisel out my body, I’ve lost my killer abs and its more like a power keg than washboard abs. Ugh.
I drank a Monster Rehab, which are good for working out. Cardio today.
I was writhing on my bed for an hour, I had to get it out of my system before getting my ■■■■ together.
