I’ve always had trouble with motivation my entire life, not sure if it’s a schizophrenia thing or “I’m a lazy ass” thing.
The problem is that sometimes I will have motivation and make all these plans, but then when the time comes the motivation is gone and I’m lazy again.
Any tips for helping with motivation/not enjoying things?
I know these are neg symptoms and not really medication responsive…but surely something helps.
Nothing helps, in my case. Negatives come in waves. They come and go. They go when I have positve symptoms. Or I am distracted by positives and I don’t notice negatives
I am pretty lazy too. Having a part time job helps me stay focused and motivated although there are times when my productivity is low.
Be around people at all times. I find that when I’m alone it gets harder to organize my activity.
I find that starting with small goals helps. It’s easier to motivate yourself to do something small than something huge. Maybe work up to bigger things as you go. I don’t know, just a thought.
What do you work?
