I find so many excuses to "paralyze" myself

I am always finding reasons not to do what I set out to do.

no wonder nothing gets done.

I am sure this is part of sz.

would you believe it is also a guilt trip by me – don’t do this and that in my mind because i’m not “allowed” to by some stupid rule in my head…

anybody?

Yeah I get what your saying. This happens to me a lot.

that’s the way you gotta do it

just get’r’dun

Hi Judy, it sounds like a negative symptom of schizophrenia. Not sure quite how much you suffer from this but when you have a mild feeling of apathy usually I find just getting on with things shakes off the feeling. Its the sort of emotion people who are ignorant confuse with lazy but don’t let them get you down. Sometimes an adjunct can help which is stimulating like abilify but that is one for the pdoc.

I can “excuse” myself into total inaction… it’s so easy for me to talk myself out of things…

It’s frustrating when my own head keeps trying to defeat me.

thanks for your replies. I got myself doing something outside of the work arena (at home) today. I am proud of myself.

getting ready for the Sabbath here and it is downright fun to do.

will have a Sabbath party tonite with my Mom and a friend/caregiver.

keep the peace, judy

i find excuses all the time but am trying to focus more and get stuff done
