How or what can be a source of motivation. A source of motivation that actually works?
How can I stop doing nothing??
Maybe restricting my time on here. Every day.
Oh it is so difficult. To do more than nothing.
I need a source of motivation.
Thanks in advance if anyone has any ideas, however small or significant they may be
Maybe I’m pushing myself too hard.
I do go for walks now.
And I’m working on recovering from food addiction.
And I help out in the kitchen.
I’m also helping my sibling with finding a job…
When things aren’t working you need to change things up! In weightlifting they call this ‘tricking your muscles’.
One of my favorite words is ‘jog’. Maybe try to jog the memory of how you used to be…
That’s all I got; I think, haha
I’ve never really been a hard worker since my teenage years. But, I guess I can use your advice of tricking your muscles. Though I do not understand what you fully mean by that?
Well in exercise you reach plateaus and are just doing maintenance (it’s not as fun, at least for me), but if you change up the exercises or maybe the order you do them, you can still achieve gains.
It was meant though - as an analogy.
You said you get walking in, I try to get as much sunshine as I can, (I can drink my Icey water in the sun (I have polydipsia)) but the sun is healthy, and makes you happier.
I joke that I’ve turned into a plant!
Can you get 10 minutes of sunshine a day? Could you maybe start blogging so your family will understand you more?(I’m projecting). The blog is cool for me bc I think it’s something I will leave behind.
But lastly and most importantly is that Your WAY TOO hard on yourself.
Thankyou so much for your advice :)), I’m glad you found things that work for you and that you are turning into a plant hehe 
As I am reading things on the internet and thinking, I jot down a list of things to do. I can generate about 10 things this way for my weekends.
Only thing that worked for me is Abilify. Otherwise I just try to do things I like playing video games with friends daily, talking to friends daily, etc. There is a reason why psychosis is considered one of the most disabling diseases, from Wikipedia Schizophrenia: About 85% are unemployed.
