Is my worrying about the future a symptom? Can the meds help on this?

I wasn’t ambitious before the diagnosis. I was the silent spectator of the others lives, but I was just there with my pain. After the diagnosis, I really got worried about my future now. And to say everything, now for some 5, 6 hours in the day I worry about my life a loot… But is it normal to just sit here and worry or its more a symptom? Cause I know from the Buddhists, that too high expectations are not normal either… Were you like this? Did the meds help you on this particular worry?
pls, be kind, I cant change much in those 6 hours. I cant be very active, cause I have also my body sensations like weakness and other in the body, who make me passive.

So is this also some kind of anxiety or its just a normal thing to worry like that?

I worry a lot about the future. I don’t think it’s a “symptom” but just that we have more to be worried about.

Ok, I see. sorry for that. Me too I am afraid, that its more natural for us, because we have bad prognosis… But what if it takes from us 6 hours of our lives? Its still normal? But as I said, I am stucked on the couch for those hours, cause I have bad negatives…
from what I understand, I should have been treated earlier, yeah… Not now, when I have 36 years…

Ever, did you gain more activity with the meds? You had negatives, is that right?

Maybe my problem is not this worry of the future. Maybe I suffer more from my negatives yeap… Cause its because of them, that I don’t live. Plus the paranoia and my fears of others. Idk, I know a guy who was just socially anxious and he was helped by the meds, but only just after an year.

Not really. But abilify has an antidepressant effect so it doesn’t get me down.

Yes… I know. I don’t count on meds a lot for my negatives anymore. But I cant do much either. I miss this :confused: … Me, I am different. My pdoc was saying, that even Zyprexa has some antidepressive properties. It got me out of the bed. But not out of my house, lol… I cant handle ablify, I am too paranoid in my head.
Do you work or have family ever? Don’t answer me If you don’t want. But me, I have nothing in life, really… Just having my mom is nothing, cause I am almost a burden in her life…

I don’t work and I have no wife or kids.

ok, just like me… sorry then…lots of people like us too…
do you succeed to feel happiness sometimes? me, not really. I lack the emotions too.

Yes I do. But it’s probably due to abilify. I got lucky with abilify.

Ok, i am glad for you then. Try to chase your negatives if you can go out. Me, i should get better on the paranoia one day with the help of the meds. That’s my last hope.
Who else was worrying about the future and got better, please?

Yeah, i have a nice combo… Paranoia with negatives… i am often tired by all this. It makes me look bad too :frowning: .

Action is better than worry. You can make a list of thinks you can do and then check them off. This way you’ll feel accomplished instead of worried :slight_smile:

Sometimes i cant even move by paranoia, moonwalker. In my case, its paralyzing. I know what you are saying, but i still have this paranoia, which makes me feel my brain in my head, its giving me this sensation of floating badly in my head and its not nice. I cant be like this around people, no way…

Do you mean anxiety or really paranoia?

I think i have both.

i somatize in a painful way. sometimes its really too painful to act…

You might want to try propananol (not sure about spelling, it’s a beta blocker). Paranoia is tough, I suffered from classic paranoid sz delusions and that was one of the toughest times in my life.

What meds are you on?

i am on Zyprexa 10 mg and Depakote. I also have thoughts without the impression of thinking, cause i feel my brain in my head. I guess its some kind of delusions. But i have paranoia yes. Its so hard to recover on it? I guess its hard to recover on thinking, no?

I am constantly worrying and it’s supposedly a symptom of generalized anxiety disorder.
I’m sorry that you go through this @Anna1.

I know it’s tough.
