How's your concentration and motivation?

Overall, mine became much worse before pscyhosis,
now it’s not such as bad as pre-psyhcosis or during pscychosis, but it’s still SO hard to do ANYTHING sometimes.

Even now, this week I was spending several hours in a day to write my bachelors… and it’s so f**kin hard. My mind is somewhere else, I cannot help myself but I don’t want to read every example of bachelors given to my group (overall even now it’s hard to concentrate.)

The more I try to do my work, the harder it gets.
I believe I am reading way less for the same reason (my concentration, motivation and ofc depressive view to the whole world)

And sometimes I believe I am just lazy or smth… :confused: Because for me it’s literally hard to understand whether it’s my motivation or am I simply being lazy.

Both go up and down like a rollercoaster. I just have to keep on trying, works for me.

I was the same during my degree. I finished it last year, was tough. I ended up in hospital for the final semester in both second and third year.

I would listen to music and just force myself to do it with 10 minute breaks. Or a break after every paragraph.

Really really good advice :slight_smile: I actually need to take more breaks!

Overall I remind myself, that because I have such mental problems, my nr1 priority should be my mental health.

But sometimes my insight is actually bad, and I think that my brain works perfectly. Then I put too much effort and become tired

My motivation and concentration are terrible.

I can’t motivate myself to do anything and if I try to concentrate on something I just end up daydreaming!

It’s pretty bad it may be the meds or just the cognitive stuff that comes with this. Will I ever get at least a tiny bit of motivation some day? Or am I just a sedated turtle floating in zero gravity? Trying to get back on the floor of a lab but not even coming close to it.

My concentration and motivation have improved with a healthy lifestyle, I can leave the house to go to the gym. Recently I’ve been busy studying for a few hours and that’s why it’s been difficult to get into the forum. During the day while studying, I realize that I can’t retain reading, even reading several times repeatedly, but I drink plenty of water and it helps me. Some moments I still find myself lying down, but luckily I improved a little from this situation.

My concentration and motivation are both good, but the negative symptoms from scz are really interfering.
