I just seem to get paralysed when I have something important to do.
Mines bad but I think it’s acompanyed by depression

My Avolition is pretty severe - I have a feeling that depression is also involved, but might be a separate issue - I am not sure.
I have a doctors appointment and have to get my blood tested, and I do not feel l like budging.
It gets to be overwhelming also.
mines isn’t great but it it isn’t bad either, i managed to go to the swimming baths tonight with my friend and we had some fun, i just felt i had a lot of energy that i needed to burn off and i wanted to go out so i suggested the swimming and we went last week as well, this is unusual for me as i am usually don’t go to the gym and when i do go i usually don’t enjoy it, but these last two times it has been ok.
It’s at high tide with me right now.
I got a notice from the tax franchise board that I have to pay $866.
all because of a check my ex wrote me from his business account, and because I keep a current license
(cheaper to renew than to start over from scratch should I one day be well enough to work-but haven’t since 1998)
Sooo they accuse me of hiding income and assessed me at more than double my SSDI income-my only income.
I have no phone since Jan 6th this year, and I’m not a real happy person right now.

Terrible before Zoloft. Not all that bad now, thankfully. At a reasonable level.

Mine is terrible. I hate structure. I do very little with myself. There are things I should be doing, but I’m not doing them.
Mine used to be worse. I still have a little trouble in doing chores if not told to do them.
My major issue is not avolition but agitation and the lack of concentration. It’s hard to make my work under a constant effort and focus. can’t accumulate anything significant.
I would say quite bad. I spend most of my time on the internet.
My avolition is gruesome. I used to brush my teeth twice a day, take a bath daily, go to the swimming pool and run several times a week, play tennis occasionally, and of course, I used to have a normal life with full-time job and part-time romantic relationships. Now it’s ALL gone. Blame it on the weatherman…

How long ago was your episode?
@Minnii you talking to me? Well, it was in the summer of 2014. But I am diagnosed with deficit schizophrenia, which means my negative symptoms will never go away. Unlike other types of schizo, where they fade away in time…
Yeah, to you. Alright, that sucks man, I feel you.

Hello, @far_cry0 , you may try to build an online friendship group around your country. I built up a QQ group (Chinese Skype) with members who have SZ and are active on Chinese SZ forum. I only invite those who behaved well on the Chinese forum. Now we have 20 members and became closer to each other. In this way we are less isolated.

On a scale from zero to ten, where ten is worst: 9.
Unless you count posting on here or pretending to myself that I can solve problems that real scientists can’t. Then hmmm 5.
Edit: changed 10 to 9 because I did brush my teeth and shower this week without prompting.
Also, I am sorry if my humour upsets any of you. The affectivity of my avolition is intermittent … which is a blessing really.
I really can’t tell if I have avolition or just really crappy short term memory. I feel like I am just always forgetting to do all these little things. It just doesn’t occur to me.
Example: my mother instructed me to move the car to a different parking spot and wipe it down with a wet towel to clean it. It was physically painful getting out of bed to do that, and it also took about a half hour. I went right back to bed afterwards. That was yesterday.
Due to unemployment, my avolition has been getting worse. I shower, brush teeth, do make up, but anything like chores has fallen into the “nearly impossible action” category.
I tried to keep a memo log of my to-do’s, but avolition has gotten to me and now I quit logging my to-dos, since that too is affected by avolition.
Sarocosine has been holding my head above water, in my opinion.
This reminds me, I need to wash my blankets and clothes…
