I’m still feeling anxious but I’m not letting another day slip by. I’m going to go workout today. I still haven’t built that nightstand either so maybe I will do that. We’ll see. I have lot’s of little things I can do, it’s just my wanna seems to be broken. I guess it’s that lack of motivation effecting me, oh bother. What about you? How’s your motivation? What are you doing today?

Hey @Leaf! Hope you have a good day! I’m on day two of Lexapro, I have a meeting for some legal stuff at one thirty, might do taco Tuesday with a friend who likes to chill, he does a good blog! I might try to paint a little bit too. For now though? Coffee! It’s snowing here.

You sound good. Do you notice anything with the Lexapro yet? Enjoy your tacos, yum. Stay warm, man I’m glad I’m out of snow country, It’s beautiful but boy did it spike my anxiety to have to drive in it. Anyway I hope you have a wonderful day and let us know how that Lexapro is going.

Will do, I feel good in the mornings so far but that could be ze coffee still. I was sleepy and unmotivated last night as usual. But maybe it’ll change over time. I’m still on a very low dose as we are tapering up. Four days of five mg, then to ten.

Is ten going to be your final dose for now until you report back to your pdoc then?
My motivation issue seems worse than low motivation, but I’ll call it that. Today it would be good to go on my treadmill for 10 minutes, wash a bunch of laundry, couple of mom things, and enjoy my clean home. The cleaner was here yesterday.
Reasonable goals may be to get dressed before noon. Then this afternoon to touch the treadmill and see what happens (cbt), do a load of laundry and fold it, and one mom thing when my hubby gets home to help this eve. All after taking my morning to zone out until the afternoon, I feel very stuck til then (afternoon) but that’s fine.
I don’t remember if you’re sz or sza but I believe that either require plenty of down time to rejuvenate. Rest is serious business and without if we won’t ever get anything done, we’ll just be spinning our wheels forever. Enjoy your “zone out” time. I hope you have a wonderful day.
Hi leaf. I appreciate that. That makes sense for me, the needing rest to rejuvenate. I don’t feel so stupid about it. I don’t have sz or sza but I am schizotypal.
I have BP1 w/ psychosis, schizotypal, and GAD. I suffer really bad deadening affects from my meds but I need them to live life better than I was. Either that or the MI has just totally changed and limited me. According to my nurse people change after mental illness so I have to accept myself. Accepting the down time to rejuvenate is nice to hear. That’s why I’m here nobody else understands what it’s like. Thanks. Hope you have a good day.

I was at first diagnosed Borderline, then Bipolar, then Major Depressive with Psychotic Features then finally sza. These things change over time as they see more symptoms and your history unfolds.

Yeah I’m not ruling anything out. My diagnoses fit for the most part. But my brain and self must be damaged. I’m likely not sz or sza because I have way to much insight and can use and come up with a lot of problem solving abilities, etc. And I can think more organized now most of the time. And I do think they are hiding something but I don’t know what. She says sza twice but later said it was an accidental. I asked my nurse if they were hiding dementia / alz from me she says no. I don’t really care anymore about it because no one understands in the medical profession but they are the best around. I don’t think there’s anything anyone can do. But I have a good husband and kids etc to be grateful for.
