So i turned slow and lazy and passive years ago… I was desperate for long, i was refusing to move… Now i try, but i guess ive lost the habit. Theres also the fact, that i remain anhedonic in the most of the activities, while i find, that all tasks should be done with all your head on…
Is it possible to get back my activities if i try more? Did you got better on this too? I wonder if the zyprexa slows me down too in fact?..
i find it hard to start doing a lot too… i’m not sure you can get active again. It didn’t get better for me tbh…
I see, gosh… I was inactive and like an autist even since a child… I even never learned to talk without difficulties… But i see… I hope we can change on this though one day, maybe… I dont expect this from the meds much anymore, they do the opposite i think…

I have barely or not at all a drive to do things. Sometimes I read a few pages in a book. And every couple weeks I play some games for couple of minutes.
But other than that I’m just passive consuming media on the internet, and if it is a day like today, then I will sleep from mornings till afternoon.
I have no reason, which I can think of to stay focused on something. 'cause the voices talk everything bad to me. I tend to overthink and have not learned to stop it.
I bought a new book on programming, one and a half months ago, but can not get myself up to do some learning. I’m wasting my time and life to just smoke and watch YouTube or Television. And without the forum I wouldn’t have somebody to talk to about my illness or how I feel, until I would see my psychologist.

I made a decision to become more active over a year ago. I am continuing to enjoy improved health and energy from it. It is hard some days, but I have all kinds of motivational prompts programmed into my phone and smart watch to help keep me going. I give myself small rewards for hitting goals. I recently hit a km goal for the year and we are enjoying the spa-sized bath towels I purchased as that reward.
Re: Zyprexa. If your doctor says you need it then you need it, but it’s a med that leaves most really tired and really REALLY fat and unhealthy. My feelings about it should be fairly well-known at this point.

So you dont like zyprexa precisely cause it takes away the energy? Only this med works a bit on my paranoia though, I’ve tried 11 other aps, which was way too many in fact…
Do you still think, that I can become more active even on zyprexa? I work to chase my despair and my anhedonia, but I wonder if this med can be an obstacle? Some are active despite very sedative meds too?
I have a lot of energy but I need a lot of do nothing time becuase I hear voices and like smoking cigs and listening to my voices

I did gain but only 10% of what I had before sz. Right after being on meds I was sleeping 24/7. Now its better I can play video games.
I have no hope for this for myself right now. Every time I try something gets in the way and I get symptoms and i find it hard to restart. Rapid cycling
