I am losing interest in life

I find that I have no interests anymore;
I am content just to survive and nothing else.

I thought you liked to play chess? That and talk to zealots!

Perhaps you would consider learning something new or doing something physical like some sort of sport?

@JH85 I used to exercise but recently I feel too weak to exercise.
I am afraid at a certain stage I’ll just quit the internet and lie on a bed all day.

Oh no, @Chess24, don’t quit the internet; this forum loves you dearly. Pls feel better soon.

Perhaps you could do something like yoga, that’s good for your mental health and you get to meet people?

I’m thinking about joining a meditation group, but it clashes with my other commitments :frowning:

That’s where I am. I just do what needs to be done and then sleep the rest of the time. I have no interest in my old hobbies and in social activities.

Ditto. I barely look at my phone. Sleep n tv

Phone is pretty much my only leisure activity nowadays.

I think my negative symptoms are getting worse over time and I don’t know what to do about it. APs make negative symptoms worse. Really hoping min-101 makes it out in a timely fashion and is effective.

What is min-101( if you don’t mind me asking)?

I feel exactly the same way.

It’s a new drug in development currently that was solely made for the purpose of improving negative symptoms.

I’m 58, and I’m starting to wonder what my life was about. I do get into the simple pleasures, though. Like seeing the autumn foliage. Or drinking a chocolate shake. Or watching a good documentary. I haven’t done that much with my life, but the race is not over yet.
