My new personality

My psychotic break was in the summer of 2014.

Since then my personality has changed from vibrant and outgoing to dull and mute. It’s like I don’t have any thoughts anymore outside of ruminating about my circumstances. When I’m around other people I literally have no things to say. I just make stuff up, stuff that I’m not even thinking, if that makes any sense, otherwise I would just be silent. Even when I do have something to say, it doesn’t come out right. I miss all my many thoughts and ideas and being able to connect with people. Now my mind is a prison and life has left me behind.

Sorry I don’t have much to contribute to this forum. I’m just feeling really bad about life right now.

I think we all have pre-diagnosis/psychosis personalities that are different to the way we are now. So you’re not alone.

It’s still better than thinking you can fly and jumping off a building though.

Sometimes we only remember the good things about the way we were and forget about the really bad things.

I’m hoping that things get better over time, but it’s been a few years. I honestly don’t know what to do to change things. I go to therapy, I take meds, I try very hard at my job 5 days a week. It just doesn’t get better. :frowning:

You should go on an adventure, for the first step try to use and manipulate herbs and supplements, also try to learn a science which you like, science enriches the mind and help you to rebuild yourself,

I have the same problem with my most recent psychotic break. Although I am bipolar rather than sv I understand the feeling. I wish I was more like my old self too. Maybe one day we will be again :slight_smile:

I know the feeling all too well.
I used to talk so much, people would tell me to “shut up for like, 5 seconds”.
Nowadays, people find me hard to get to know because I don’t say much. I used to vocalize every thought I had, but now, I don’t really have much to say.
I try to force myself to open my mouth if an interesting thought pops into my head, but there’s only so much I can do if there’s really nothing there.
