I am very indifferent to most things.
I don’t care whether my apartment is clean or not, I don’t care whether the foods I eat are healthy or not, heck, half the time when someone asks me what I want to eat, the answer is “I don’t care” or “I don’t know” because I really couldn’t give a crap as long as it’s tasty food.
I do a lot of things I shouldn’t because I don’t really care about the consequences, and there are a lot of things I avoid doing because I don’t care about the consequences of not doing them.
I know that ambivalence or indifference is a symptom of SZ, but is there a way to break out of it without flying off to the other side of the spectrum and going OCD?
What I’m asking, is… Is there a healthy way to care more about things without becoming a worry-wart?
To break out of the schizophrenia-induced ambivalence?
I was just kidding, sometimes I care about many things, other times I’m indifferent, I think is normal for having both sometimes. Idk how to explain, but too much indifference is bad or too much caring. TBH idk
I’m the same way except there’s a lot of things I don’t do because I am afraid something bad might happen. I don’t know how to care either. Maybe someone can tell us how.
Do you take antidepressants? When I took lexapro I got super apathetic and because of it and Seroquel I gained some weight and didn’t care because of the meds. Now I take pristiq and it has helped me stop worrying so much.
I want to not look like a hobo, but I’ve been told I could put in a lot more efforts regarding my looks. I never do anything with my hair, and I don’t wear makeup
