I am not able to concentrate on things, i wish i could read some books. Also improve my communication and thought process. But my mind refuses to indulge in any particular activity. I have devised some plan to make sure i am up to date and able to work and lead a social life. However, it is proving to be extremely difficult to indulge in the plan. Any thoughts or suggestions? I feel i lost my decision making, judgmental and insight capability.
i think APs can help, if taken correctly,
what you mention are the symptoms of schizo

I am taking an AP. It seems to be improving my condition but very slowly. I am sure it is a symptom of schizo. But my doctor does not even want me to talk about the diagnosis. Instead he is concerned to change my perspective, which is very hard to do unless i am diagnosed correctly. Maybe a change of doctor also would help.

Add exercise. A lot is the meds and tuning up those dosages but exercise can help. I have gone from little concentration to reading. Not the same as before meds but I’m improving. Practice and some exercise work better for me.

What kind of exercise? I am doing walk for 10000 steps everyday (if not able to achieve i give it a try at least). Does it suffice?

Please recommend some exercises. I find difficulty even to walk sometimes. Since walking is the easiest of all i do that. Any other suggestions?
i think meds r the solution , talk to ur pdoc , maybe AD / stronger AP
Medication is making me look fat and dull. I am not able to stop my craving for food. On top of it my wife is creating lot of stress and making me look like a fool in front of her. I am not able to make her understand about my illness.
I struggle with concentration, too. I can’t read books anymore and can hardly watch an episode of a TV show. Watching movies is a huge challenge for me. An AP has helped me keep a job up to this point, though. I was doing an online school class, but it’s paused at the moment.
I’m sorry, I don’t have advice. But I wanted you to know that you’re not alone. Take care. 
You’re not alone. I feel the same way
What meds are you on? Just curious

Thanks for relating to me. I feel sometimes to just run away from everything. But something holding me back.

yeah, don’t run away. that’s the illness talking. we have good and bad days. embrace the good days, sometimes its like our minds shut down, but we aren’t hopeless. Theres a lot of energy that can be unleashed. Just take the time to do stuff for yourself, and things will get easier. Don’t set high expectations because you’ll just disappoint yourself. It’s when we don’t set any expectations is when we achieve the most
