I never went catatonic and ■■■■ my pants before I had SZ. Decided I didn’t like having full pants and an empty life so I pushed for change. Push hard enough for long enough and the miracle happens. 95% of people quit 5 minutes before the miracle and that’s sad.

@anon82948922 I want to tell you, that it is not a sudden miracle that happens, but you need slow
and steady progress, be tenacious, be resilient. And be ready for a constant struggle.

@anon67051439 I have tips for you to increase energy.
Among the tips: eat healthy. Exercise. Keep good hygiene. Go for walks every day.
Try to either control your sz symptoms without APs( like I try to do) or use APs that harm your energy
as little as possible.

Take the whole feeling of “I don’t want to do anything at all” and add serious back pain and the fatigue that accompanies being in atrial fibrillation 100% of the time now and then complain to me.
How I feel doesn’t matter. Moving matters. I separate what I have to do from how I feel or else I’d never get out of bed.

My motivation is far from perfect, but I find that if I’m not intrinsically motivated, it helps to seek out extrinsic motivation. MrSquirrel, for example, has a wife to help to motivate him. Many men can attest to how motivational a wife is. While I have not gone to that extreme, I use other methods of extrinsic motivation.

@Clint I wish you all the best.
For me my intrinsic motivation is very good, and I am grateful for that.

Sza has messed up and stolen a lot from me but I’m grateful for simple things in life, and I have my good days. And a husband who supports me so I’m content

It didn’t motivate me at all when I had a gf and sz. She ended up leaving me after 2-3 years of my sz diagnosis. She wanted me to work, hangout with friends, etc I couldn’t.
Now, imagine if you will, that your ‘gf’ had been a wife, and her leaving you involved a ‘no fault’ divorce in which half of the marital assets would go to each party, and she could accuse you of domestic abuse in front of a judge in an attempt to secure 100% of the marital assets.
The legal system in some states leads to a great deal of motivation for many men.
Whooooo!!! Here’s half the debt, hon. LOVE YA BABY!!!

I don’t understand you. My gf didn’t make a difference at all to my motivation. Its my motivation that makes me get a gf. If my motivation improves now, I can get a new gf in a few days like in a nightclub or a bar.
No big deal. Most men don’t understand marriage until they get married, I think. I’m sure I don’t understand it.
I attended a wedding on zoom last week. Someone asked if anyone had advice for the bride and groom. A retiring man who had been married twice said: “In courtship, a man dreams. In marriage, he awakens!”
