Maybe i am not all the time depressed, but today is a so bad day, that i took valium because i am so sad
It could be that i am shizoaffective, is depression not a problem for the most shizophreniac peaple?
I think that usually apathy ‘flatten’ your mood.

I have schizophrenia and I am never depressed. Some schizophrenics do get depressed, but depression is usually a trademark of schizoaffective disorder.
Have you tried some therapy? Like psychotherapy, CBT, occupational therapy etc.

A usual day: i am in the internet for eight hours a day, i eat to much (my weight is about 280 pounds/140 Kilogramms), i vape the most of the time Nikotinliquid with my E-zigarette and maybe im driving to the supermarket. A little bit of netflix, a little bit of amazon prime, that is my usual day.
I know, its horrible
