Lately and I don’t know if due to side effects of rivotril.
In addition to the cognitive symptoms of schizophrenia.
It happens to me that I do not enjoy reading a book for example, after buying it.
I do not know what career to start or what to study.
I have no desire or initiative to start.
Are there any of you who identify with what I say?

I don’t read for fun but I’ve been fine at reading any textbook or any other reading assignment in any of my classes.

2009-2013 I was in college and University.
It was super hard to finish, as I had a breakdown, but I have no regrets …
No one can take an achievement like this away from you once you earn it!
If you’re thinking of doing a course, try it - you have not much to lose and all to gain

Yes me, There is always an initiation but no continuity.
What I would do is hook or by crook I make sure its completed.
As I overthink on any decision I make.
I try to stop questioning self (Talking to self) For what purpose?
And I stopped doubting self.
I have chosen a career I failed miserably.
Because only if I know what is wrong I could make it right.

I can’t focus long enough to read anymore. I can’t even focus on a TV show most of the time. So no I do not enjoy reading the same paragraph over and over trying to absorb it.
I am in art classes so yes I have been doing fine with it.

I managed to take a medical coding course and get my certification. Although now it’s time to get a job and I feel too afraid to apply for them. I think I’m just worried that I will lose my mind working and have to start at square one again.
I did three degrees and courses back in Germany. That was in my 20s. When I am well again I might do an online degree in IT. I am in my 50s these days and got diagnosed sz with 19 years old.

The anhedonia and lack of interest, as well as the barrage of positive symptoms like hallucinations, is what almost got me to quit college. I was institutionalized twice during my sophomore and junior years.
I finished my BSN degree in 2018. I took the NCLEX exam six months after and passed. I’m now a registered RN.
I still struggle daily with work and life. But it got easier to manage as I got older and more distant from my time in the hospital and my diagnosis.
I definitely identify with this. I’m a senior in college right now. I’ve had full-blown psychosis/sza since I was 16 and I’ve really struggled to get to where I am, but since my dad died a few months ago it’s been next to impossible to find the motivation to finish my degree. I’ve had to reduce my course load by 6 credits this semester and delay my graduation and even still I’m struggling to finish out the term with a decent GPA. Part of me wants to just drop out but I know I should stay with it and finish my degree. I hope all of us in school right now can figure out a way to stick with it and do well. Best of luck!
