I’ve become really flat in every way. Emotionally and cognitively especially.
I’m taking L-theanine and broccoli sprout extract which seem to make matters worse but really help my anxiety.
I’m half considering going back on coffee

I know those feelings, feeling like the crease in my brain have been ironed flat, numb mood.
When that happens I have a bad habit of ending up doing something stupid and extreme to feel alive again, it can be dangerous.
I normally try to change up my routine. Add or remove an item on the schedule. Be it saving time for researching a potential new hobby, or dropping a hobby like my games in favor of more books.
It can be hard, I wish only the best for you EH.
Stay safe

Maybe try having one cup of regular coffee a day and see how that goes.

Abilify used to make me feel flat.
It could be the meds @everhopeful
Or it could be one of the supplements you are taking.

I’m having trouble at home again… and I’d like to give up the coffee but don’t think I can.
Something flat in me and characteristic of me is I’ll just tell you I am nauseous about Porn.(it’s ok I don’t need a thread.)
It IS a form of flatness though; and maybe it’s me getting older like I have no more ‘led in my the ‘ole pencil’.
That’s where I’m at today anyway lol

In the morning I often pump myself with one big cup of coffee and put on loud music to wakeup. My hearts pumps fast and breathing becomes fast. It works to wakeup.

I pump myself with caffeine and nicotine. Seems to work somewhat to bring about a balance.
Feel I need to do this to bring about a big enough kick up the ass to be active.
Totally get the flatness. I hate that I am blunted like I am, but I cannot change the way things turned out, just have to make the best of things where you can I guess

I have very little energy, for me it could be that the majority of the time I’m experiencing a low mood.

My 10 mg of Haldol gives me energy but it’s anxious energy. I hope you get relief from the flat affect soon

Sometimes the alternative is feeling all shook up.

Then I would say go and get the coffee if it helps you.
Yes I’ve started coffee again. 2 cups a day. It takes the edge off things. Thanks.
