How are your Negative symptoms

Mine are so debilitating but amisulpride does help to lighten them - but only a little. But without amisulpride my negatives are more severe so that I’d be unable to do anything but lie in bed or on the floor.

My motivation continues to be a problem . My house is a obstacle to clean. But at least I did clean toilets today. I have to wait for the house to be shocking before I do anything.

My brain is foggy. I feel so like I’m walking in muddy water and my feet are being sucked back down each time I try to lift them.

Forget positives. The negatives are far worse.

How are your negatives? Mild? Disabling? How do you cope with them?

My negative symptoms are moderate. I’m not “disabled” by them per se, but it’s like trying to run in a swimming pool all the time.

I don’t know exactly since my parents do everything in the house. But alone, maybe my negatives could be disabling.

My negative symptoms are mild I can clean up a house I can go do things HOWEVER if I stop taking my meds it’s serious and often incredibly severe

I fight daily but lately I’m winning.

Routine helps. Do things regularly and force yourself to do it. Whether it’s lists and ticking off tasks or just doing it it helps.

I have success living a structured life and routine really helps fight the negs.

Much better than, say, 5 years ago.
Still an issue though. I can’t bring myself to leave the house everyday, as I should. I tend to slack off on weekends too. Luckily, on weekdays my job keeps me active.

My negatives are still severe and it’s bothering me a lot, but I’m still managing to lift weights 3x a week and study a little, but I get stopped and do nothing sometimes
