I don't feel right

Despite having no positive symptoms, I never seem to feel quite right in my mind. I am always anxious, always thinking negatively, always overthinking things, spending lots on new hobbies and then dropping the hobbies because I cannot stick to one thing…,… it really bugs me.

So probably you don’t enjoy hobbies becouse of the job you don’t have. Maybe focus on building some skills for possible job

Follow through is really hard for me to. Today I’m just not working. Literally, I should be working, I’m just not. I’m on slack for my job but I’m not getting any work done. I don’t know. I’m tired, even though I slept 12 hours, and I’m just staring at things think, well nothing about them.

I feel like this too. Tired. All the friggin time. Wonder if it is depression even though I am not suicidal.

So maybe you need different job. Take some time to think about what kind of job you would want. Take some notes. Have vision. What kind of job you would want if their no mental limitations. Research what skills you need for that job. Make plan strategy and go towards your goal. It takes time to build skills a year or more but you will be proud of yourself taking effort courage taking steps. And don’t quit until you succeed

I would love to do the same job, the job has almost never been the problem. But interacting with people makes any job hard… Even if I have to interact socially most the time…

Yeah I am thinking it may be part of the reason… But the psychologist wanted to do an autism test on me but I haven’t heard anything… however I feel this is not likely and probably a waste of time.

I read that sz negative symptoms and autism share some symptoms like lack of social skills, etc

So find introvert kind of job . Where you don’t need to interact with mass. There are plenty. Some require more skills some less. Make it your goal. I couldn’t enjoy hobbies too until I found that there is more fulfilling ways of life. Hobbies are just fun activities that you do when you are happy with your life. That’s how I think
