Staring at the ceiling

Staring at the ceiling for several hours each day and I wonder…what happened to my life? I use to have a good life when I was younger.

I’ve been playing game after game of solitaire lately. There are constructive things I do that make me feel good, though, like reading, writing, watching documentaries on Youtube.

i try not to stare a long time at something, so i write in a journal to waste my time. If there’s something i want to discuss with my therapist and i forgot i just have to look back at the journal and i remember. sometimes.

How long each day do you spend. Staring at the ceiling?
I hope that you will get better one day and find yourself better things to do
You will If you try and are determined

I try to do something positive each day. Watch a movie or a visit to a friend but everyday I waste so many hours on my bed. I could never play solitaire because I just don’t have the concentration to do so. I guess I should try and spend more time online.

I’m doing better than a couple of years ago. Every morning I’d stare at the ceiling until I get enough courage to take a shower. Then I’ll try and do something until about lunch time. Then I’ll spend my afternoon in bed again. I’m doing ok with all the rest I get in but I’d really like to be more active. I wish I could plan my day and spend it productive.

Congratulations on doing better then the past… it sounds like you keep trying.

Be patient with yourself… and if your feeling like your having a hard time… let someone know…

For me it was deep negative symptoms… I needed meds to help get me up and moving.

Good luck and I’m rooting for you…

it’s a little by little process.

Thanks @SurprisedJ . I’ve read a lot of your posts and have great admiration for you from where you came from and what you have achieved. The other day I fixed a water tap at a friend’s house and I felt so good afterwards. To be able to do stuff gives value and meaning to life… I hope to be able to work again someday even if it is just volunteering.

I have a feeling you will…

Just keep the recovery little by little… you’ll get there.

Getting up showering… helping others… you sound like your starting to get better.
