Every day is the same. Do a few chores, play a few games. That’s it. Nothing more. I have no interests or interest in starting something new. I wish I were dead.
End of vent.

Can you go out? Maybe go to a social club.

Maybe try new things (i know it sounds clichee and probably doesnt help) ? Like walking in woods with a friend, searching for new music, learning a craft. I started to learn how to bake bread, it’s pretty cool and has a yummy result.

I feel like its easier for me to deal with as I still feel young, and I’ve been using my time some times to learn drawing and draw more with a goal in mind.
But outside of this? I feel like I’m just floating. Not pleasantly, just sort of absent almost. But not a void? It’s extremely… blah.
I don’t condone this, but I do psychic readings from a specific reader and its funny because it did hit the other day when he mentioned that all I’ve been doing is floating and doing my days like A to B. Eat. Fill the time. Sleep.
It’s … horrible. But not necessarily painful.

@PinCushion, try the crisis texting line in our crisis resources. I’ve used them, it’s helpful.
If you are feeling suicidal, please tell someone — a friend or family member, a teacher, a doctor or therapist or call 911 (if you’re in the U.S.) or the Emergency Medical Services phone number in your country.
You can also call a suicide prevention hotline—these are available in the U.S. and in many other countries.

I don’t know your situation, but it is a good chance it is your medicine that makes you depressed. Maybe you should consider changing something in that appartment in agreement with you doc. But first I would try supplementing for mood. Take vitamin D and choose a herb like damiana or muira puama to lift your mood. They should have minimal side effects if any.
Thank you, @anon4362788 I’m tough. I’ll get through this. Wishing I were dead is what I do periodically and have never had any conscious attempts to fulfill the wish in many years.
I am a bit afraid of trying new things but I think @Providencedream has a good idea there. I’m so used to being rejected that I don’t ask around for help. The computer won’t reject me but there are scams to it. Sometimes, I just get negative and anything I come up with gets a “NO” without further investigation.

@PinCushion, push yourself to try new activities. No one wants a really boring life. And life can and does get better. Don’t give up

Can you talk to your caregiver at home?
I understand. Be sure to get that crisis text line info, though. They are helpful.
I have a lot of this myself. Every day is the same old same old. I’m not suicidal. I just have no interest in anything and it’s just a bore one day after another. I think some of it is the meds blocking dopamine and some of it is the negative symptoms of Sz.

I feel the same often, talking to my parents help but you could talk to a psychologist if you don’t have anyone.
I do very little, as well. Darn APs.
I’m sorry you feel that way Chordy. I wish I could help but I’m pretty useless lol.

Like me, you need something new to look forward to. Try focusing on things that are new instead of old and same ol mindsets. You might surprise yourself. I just thought of this, maybe it can help.

Why dont you find a little job ( if your meds are cheap ).
Have new meeting, few friend, social life and maybe youll find a girlfriend ( average one ), go out cinema, you know ‘’ life’’. As me a schizophrenic, friends come and go they not family, so just make friends, tons of them, go out and chat. And uh… One thing left, dont yell out ‘‘schizophrenic’’ all the time, keep it.

The days won’t change things for you.
What you do with the days will change things for you.
Get uncomfortable. If you’re in this forum, you’re probably used to being uncomfortable, and I’m sorry for that. But you’re weaknesses can be strengths too.
Get uncomfortable. Get excited. Take action.
And give yourself the time you need.
