Motivation coaster

It really frustrates me when 2 days ago I was motivated and more energetic and then 2 days later all the goodness just dissapears under a rock. I want to go to ju-jitsu tonight but right now its an effort just to sit in a chair. F U Neg Symptoms. That is all.

i get that too. i have lil bursts of activity then a slump of pure nothingness except basics like loading the dishwasher and washer and drier. the lawn needs mowing which i’ll do today if it doesn’t rain. i have written a list of things to do but first i’m going shower and get max ready for school, then sleep for a few hours i think. then it’s on with the housework! xxx

So I went to my first brazillian ju jitsu class tonight, and they said I was a natural! , so I’m hopeful this could be a good sport for me, it allows me to get my anger out as I tend to hold in my anger about my illness. So overall I feel better after.

@mortimermouse - I think I understand your egoism a bit after tonight, I just dominated this one guy as he was around the same level as me. He thought I had trained a bunch before in ju jitsu but I really havnt , I felt kinda bad lol . think i bruised his ego.

Good to hear. Martial arts kept me stable as a late teen.

My motivation has been horrible- zapped of all energy. Can’t figure it out, it has to be the depression or is it negative symptoms? The thing is I wasn’t very depressed today and I had the motivation of a drunk snail! I had to force myself just to be halfway productive

@Wave for me I think it is negative symptoms. It kinda goes like : all of a sudden 0 motivation to even move, cant speak with any emotion (flat) face is flat, then I get frustrated and stressed about the negatives and that is what leads to making me feel depressed (sad ,upset about it) . I’m generally not depressed. its more like someone put a lid on all my energy when I experience negative symptoms.
I also get really angry about it, and just try to listen to music or do physical exercise to take my mind off it
