I have a daily problem. I keep thinking I should be doing something, but no matter what ideas I get, I just don’t feel sure enough that I would actually want to do it, so I don’t do it. I don’t know what I want or like anymore. Anyone else had/have this problem? What did you do to solve it?

Its due to blunted affect or lack of strong emotions. The way to cope this is simply start doing the first thing or first step in the task and after finishing it do the next and so on. Force yourself to start and once its get started it will be easy to go along with it.
I’ve got the same problem. Last few weeks I’ve just been on social media all day. It really hasnt helped.
I guess my advice would be to try and exercise - might make you feel less flat. But its easier said than done. I just keep putting it off.
You get weird whims and passions to do things at the oddest times. It helps to write them down and make a to-do list. Keeps you on track.
The mind is a good slave but a terrible master. You can’t rely on it to structure your day.
Generally with something you wanted to do in the first place, there’s a bit of “activation energy” needed to follow through with it. It’s like a chemical reaction. Basically give it 5 minutes and you’ll keep going generally.
Its called negative symptoms of sz, no meds yet for these symptoms.

Hi, SeanMac. You expressed what I feel. I don’t know what to do that will make me feel good. I am a little down about this. The advice here is good and will help.
