How do you deal with negative symptoms?
I woke up super early today, got out of bed like normal, but then spent most of the day in bed doing nothing. I just wasn’t enjoying what I normally enjoy (gaming) and it felt pointless trying to pursue it.
Like wise I’ve wanted to go for a walk the last two days, but something stops me from actually doing it.
I try to not think about my negative symptoms. I think its best thing to do.
But what do you do?
Do you get on with stuff? How?
Or do you just embrace not wanting to do stuff for a while?
I don’t like wasting the whole day. But when my body says “I’m not having fun doing this” especially when its stuff I normally enjoy, I just feel like I’m wasting my energy.
I play video games almost everyday but sometimes I cant. I just feel like doing nothing. Caffeine helps a bit. I take caffeine pills and drink coffee.
It gets better on its own too.
This supplement combo helped me
Yeah I drink a lot of coffee on all days tbh. Two big double strength mugs everyday.
I spent a lot of last year doing nothing at all, and I just ended up spiralling into depression. The last few months I was having music therapy and negatives symptoms things were better. But today and yesterday were awful tbh.
Yes. I may try seeing if I can get some B12 / Folate. If it does nothing after a couple of months I guess I can stop taking it.
Get folate not folic acid and don’t go over 400mcg dfe. The one I’ve linked to in that forum post does the trick.
But only when combined with the other ingredients!
Yeah I find that niacin helps too. It doesn’t get the feeling of pointless ness per se, but assists by letting me not care much about it, if it makes sense
I could Google but wanted to ask on here. If Google’s better that’s fine in understand. What’s difference positive/negative symptoms?
I get aggitated bed time blanket,pillow everything bothers me. I also get hot 
and sometimes have strip down bra and underwear in room or have fan on high constantly. I smother I’m car and out in public. I think it’s anxiety
I can start new thread if need . What’s those called or what could help? Sorry if not approiate
i got a routine that i stick to… i just do the things i do every day and that way it comes naturally.
Those are neither negative nor positive symptoms. I have schizophrenia and I’ve never experienced such things. Could be akathisia. That’s due to meds.
Positive symptoms are added things : Like Hallucinations or delusions
Negative symptoms are subtracted things : Like lack of motivation, Lack of emotions, Apathy, Lack of interest in social situations etc
