I want to watch long form media again like I used to, Tv shows and films. I did manage to watch Dead Poets Society recently through netflix on my Mac but I kept finding myself checking the runtime constantly and losing concentration. Is this part of the illness, is it the meds? is it because of too much doomscrolling?

and is there a way to solve this?
My concentration is dangerously bad. I continually slip into day dreams. I certainly can’t drive as a result. I also can’t read books.
I assume it’s because of the disease.
I’ve got better at watching movies though for some reason. I’m also able to listen to audiobooks. So it’s not all bad.

This is why I think CBT is useless for me. It all boiled down to just do it but what is the point when this disease hinders your concentration so bad that you just can’t do it?

Like how the ■■■■ can I spend time on myself doing the things I love if my concentration is ■■■■■■? the things i like are literally gone from me now because of this ■■■■■■■ disease.
Sorry for the profanity, I’m just so frustrated and tired of it all

Same here. I can’t focus at all. I start daydreaming instead.
But it’s gotten better. I can watch 30 minute shows.
Honestly some of my friends who don’t have SZ (etc) struggle with this too. I think trying to stay off social media can help.
