I’m sick of my negative symptoms. I’m tired of Anhedonia. I’m sick of Avolition. I’m tired of being tired. I really don’t want to live the rest of my life like this. I wish there was a way to get past this. I wish I could go back to the way I was 10 years ago. Ok, rant over.

Yea I was pissed like hell about my sz negative symptoms 2 days ago, I made a violent thread about torturing sz if it was a person. I guess it was too violent as users said its too graphical, I got flagged and they locked my thread

I have this idea to treat negative symptoms by taking too much dopamine but I will probably get psychotic. Ldopa improved my negative symptoms but made me too irritable.

I feel for you guys who struggle with negatives. I typically don’t get them too bad but some days I just don’t feel like doing anything at all.
My meds can make me very lethargic too. I still love taking them though because they largely take away the demonic voice I used to hear a lot.

I thought that was pretty funny actually. I can relate. I won’t mention here what I would do to schizophrenia if it took sub-human form

With avolition I found it really helpful to be compassionate to myself. What is the deal if you miss a day etc. Try and be forgiving to yourself. I found it made me feel less guility and less frustrated which then led me to doing more things soon after.
Try and imagine: what would you say to a friend with avolition?

I suffer from awful negatives but I push myself a little bit at a time.
I had some motivation today for a short while and went for a short walk outside and emptied the dishwasher and put the dishes away.
Baby steps.
But I know how you feel @Bowens

I think I’ve only been self medicating with my coffee habit… and maybe I need to take more time identifying negatives i have and also some depression probably too.
(Just makes me feel good in the onset, and gives me more of an ‘alive feel’).
(Things may be changing for me… I really upset the apple cart today at home).
