One way to tell the difference between schizophrenia and being lazy is that, with schizophrenia you will not want to do things that you have previously enjoyed doing as much.

exactly… I don’t enjoy anything anymore.

other types of sz also have negative symptoms…

I have the absense of will. I can work when I’m ok but barely any cooking cleaning

I’ve never know too many people that actually like to clean, most like it clean, but not many “want” to clean.
Cooking for some is fun, the rest have to do it because no one else does.
I wouldn’t cook or clean if I didn’t have to…as long it got done (by someone else.)

It has to do with Ambition too and sometimes medication side effect.

Last weekend, my friends went to a dog café and I could not go because I was so lazy.
I am meeting them tonight

yeah I do things because no one else will do.
If I don’t make my bed, change the sheets, it’ll stay that way for years.

I need to cook and at least do basic cleaning when my kids are here But it is very difficult. When the kids are at their dad’s place I’m basically comatose. I do nothing that requires energy other than go to 7-11 and most of the time when I go there I’m in pjs
