Yeah im a big believer in forced habit. Doing even when you feel like there’s no way your going to do it.

Like I said on Abilify I was able to force myself but now on this 6mg Risperdal I can’t even force myself or try I feel mentally and physically disabled hard to explain.

When you get catatonia you can’t force yourself you’re just frozen.

45

You don’t have to explain. That’s why you’re here. We have it, too.

46

But you’re not catatonic. You’re on this forum every day.

I was off meds. Now I feel like half catatonic sometimes i freeze in my bed and stare at the ceiling for hours.

Well how do you play a video game or setup computer stuff?

I can’t play video games with controllers I have no motivation for it. I tried I couldn’t even play one level.

But I bet if I forced myself to play it I could get used to it. I may not feel like doing it but I could probably get used to it

I can only play videogames with friends for like 30-40min/day. I can’t play on my own. I turn on my pc then end up turning it off instead of playing. I gave up.

I’m not trying to be harsh or anything. I’m just trying to give you examples of areas you still have some motivation.

I truly want to see you get better man

Yea but they don’t translate to other areas.

52

Serious question, not to be mean or anything:

Do you want to get better?

53

Well that goes for anyone. I have areas of motivation that don’t translate. But I just force myself instead.
Like as humans we all look for the path of least resistance. So it’s natural for us to look to areas that seem easy for us to do. But anything outside of that is uncomfortable and might seem unattainable

Well I have been trying since I stopped the Abilify in 2019. Maybe Clozapine will help.

I had an acting coach who once used this phrase, and I love it:

“What do you want, and what are you willing to do for it?”
