"Simple" schizophrenia

I live with this disorder. Nothing really interested me since childhood, I hated bathing and had very poor hygiene, didn’t watch movies or listen to music, hard to get into story. It’s like being subhuman, staying in bed 24/7 unless I have to go somewhere. Activities make me anxious, I am anxious when around people and feel inadequate. Anhedonia, avolition, apathy etc. This condition makes me suffer when I understand that I’m disabled and probably never normal. No medication helps. I also have cognitive and memory problems, no personality, spiritually dead.

Can we make some sort of group or chat with people like us? I feel like this simple type schizophrenia/deficit syndrome is very rare.

How are you? How do you feel?

Typically, we like to leave inactive threads alone and just start a new thread instead. This is different than how some forums are run, but we do it this way because it frequently upsets users to have old topics revived when they are no longer relevant. It can also be frustrating to the person who revived the thread when they don’t get a reply, because the original poster is no longer active or no longer finds the topic relevant. Feel free to start a new thread on this topic.

Thanks,
