I had strong disinterest in my work,is it because I dislike my job or because of schizophrenia?
I find schizophrenia is quite a bit of work in itself. no one wants to be a schizophrenic, no one wants our lives. we fall down a lot. but we keep getting up. and we will always try to find space we don’t hear ‘voices’ in, but that’s everywhere, because the schizophrenia is in our brains . of course it ‘tracks us’. no matter where you go, there you are!
Negative symptom can add to disinterest Which can lead to depression. Unfortunately we live in a society where just working for money is the norm. Rather than doing what makes us happy.
Find what you like to do work wise and it will help with your mental state in the long run. Nothing better then having a job that it’s a joy to wake in the morning and go to. Rather then dreading facing the day each day.
I have found jobs, myself that I’ve been happy with the people I work with and the job itself has made the difference with my mental health.
I could see it being a bit of both. If you never really liked your job… that could be a sign that it’s time to try something new.
Boredom with routine hits everyone… with an illness or not.
