My face in the mirror

I look at my face in the mirror and I have a flat expressionless face with a frown and a look of bitterness and deep disappointment in life. I look sedated and my face looks paralyzed. I look like I want to cry. Basically my face will drive most people away. I look so much better when I form a smile. I wonder if I should care about how I look to others.
Some people I know consider how they appear to be of paramount importance. It certainly matters to me, and I wish there was something I could do.

I have a hard time caring about the way i look. I just have a demeanor of â– â– â– â–  it.

I feel the same. It’s my eyes and it’s like the ap’s Give me this mask-like expression. I ■■■■■■■ hate it… I looked it up and for some meds like latuda they list “mask-like expression” as a side effect no lie. Further research confirmed how some make one of ur eyes deviate from the normal gaze I forgot what the technical term is. I don’t recognize myself anymore… sorry I just made this about me but I’m trying to tell u I’m right there with u. Just blank, never able to show interest or convey a proper expression without looking like a zombie or clearly medicated.

You just described my face too. Psychosis has definitely marked me. People are always asking me if something is wrong.

This is just my opinion but I think it might be the meds. Psychosis I mean some people u can tell it in their eyes but idk when it’s not active for me atleast i looked fine. Then I got on invega and my face had a blank grimace with eyes that looked the way someone stares when they’re stuck in the dark. Almost like they’re focused on something directly in front of the face
