I think there is a difference between mutism and alogia. I have had bad alogia when I was on my highest dose of abilify. now my alogia is not as bad.
Now I mainly get mutism which like I said, I don’t think is he same thing.
with alogia you just have no motivation to open your mouth with mutism, you are to anxious to open your mouth.

from my understanding anyhows

Yeah.

Online I’m rather talkative, but when it comes to real life my brain goes blank often and I usually just sit in a corner and stare at the wall.

I also suck at talking irl, I can talk online.
Abilify improved that but I had serious side effects.

I’ve struggled with this quite a bit, especially when I’m not doing well. The only thing that have helped is just practice talking.

I too have this, no problem with talking as i talk without much thinking and what comes to mind directly in talk its a bit of impulsive kind of talking.

Lack of thoughts create impulsive behaviour.

I believe the lack of thoughts or inability to think clearly or hold multiple thoughts in mind have something to do with sleep quality. Sleep deprivation can causes various side effects both immediately and in long run. Try to improve the sleep, if hard to get good sleep at night try taking some long nap like 1 hr nap before 4 pm.

Blunted affect can also be improved with quality sleep. Many medications and supplements can affect sleep for example omega 3, vitamin b12, liones mane mushroom etc try to avoid or reduce to improve sleep quality. Caffeine beverages can affect sleep if take later part of day.

I sleep 13/14 hours a day. Alogia is not a sleep problem, it is a core negative symptom.

I not meant alogia instead lack of thoughts, blank mind and blunted affect.

When I was talking to a friend of mine in Discord, I was having a problem trying to talk. It frustrates me when that happens.
