Hate being thought of as lazy

Im sure people here can understand. The illness makes me too paranoid and neurotic to be around people, let alone work, but I know people misunderstand and think I just wanna sit at home all day

It is my major worry also. I’m not motivated to do so many things, including fun things. I just can’t be bothered. I’m always apologising to my partner that he has to go do the shopping or cook a meal. I feel guilty because i don’t contribute that much.

Other than watching hockey or watching Netflix or YouTube with the kids I feel totally immobile. I always want to go to bed by 8:30pm. The kitchen is disastrous and i have paperwork to get done. I always say tomorrow this tomorrow that but no day is different.

I understand.I tend to move more,but couldn’t function like before.Best I can is prepare when I’m about meeting the people,so I don’t get too upset.

I totally understand.
I never was very social as a kid. I usually just preferred to stay to myself. Once I got through high school I started to finally be able to connect with people better. Then I started getting the psychosis and it went downhill from there. When I first started my meds I could barely get out of bed. Then later on I reduced doses and was still a zombie.
I am on much better meds now but it is still hard for me to be around people due to voices and paranoia. Also some days I have no motivation whatsoever:(

I sleep all day long cause I’m thinking about how to save the world all night long. :smiley:
