Do you find that you’re spending 70% or more of your thinking time on certain things? Is that healthy? Maybe it’s normal?
Im obsessed about this forum.

I don’t know. I tend to be single-minded especially when it comes to things that interest me. I think that’s normal. Othertimes I feel pulled in eight different directions.

Whether I’m in the matrix or not. I started to think about this again. I came to the conclusion it doesn’t matter. It looks and feels real to me. I mean it’s real enough. No need to question it. I have a great life now that I’m stable on Vraylar.

I think my obsessive patterns are breaking down since this last medication change.
I was obsessed about a guy for like a whole year and more. I still think about him but the intensity has decreased.
I have the negative obsessive thoughts like intrusive thoughts and yes that occupies my mind 70% of my free time.
Since I started L Theanine and Benzo and med change, it decreased a large amount. I am so grateful for that and looking forward until I completely find the mental strength to erase it out of my reality.

what are you obsessed about?
Rather not say,
But its a very large part of my life and takes up so much of my thoughts.
I’d like to be free,
But I also don’t know what I would do without it.

When are you seeing your psychiatrist? I really hope you start giving medications some chance.
Probably the occult

I go first week of November,
So, right around the corner.
I’m pretty motivated to make some changes,
And I’m not doing great,
We’ll see how it goes, I’ll keep you all posted…

That’s strange. It seems you are feeding it though watching all these videos and hearing the audiobooks. If it bothers you, you can try to find a replacement.

I’m obsessed about my financial and work situations. I suppose that’s obvious from my posts, though.

I’m pretty fascinated by the occult a lot too @everhopeful.
I listen to a lot of late night talk radio, and they often have guests who are well-versed in the subject.

i obsess over my life, how it has changed as a result of schizophrenia, and weird interest of mine is current news about sz an research and stuff. just seeing how close we are to better treatments or a cure gets me up every morning.
i used to watch alot of porn too but that has gone by the wayside. there are more important things at hand in the world right now, i just wish i was a bit more versed in current events not involving sz. unfortunately i am not.
the other thing i used to obsess over before sz was running workouts and i used to read but not participate in the letsrun forum, constantly searching for better workouts. i used to break into my old high school track illegally (7mi away) to sprint intervals. other than that i ran in the neighborhood and at the rarely used middle school dirt track half a mile from here. i was an addict. i still keep up with some important running news, nowhere near as intensely as two years ago before sz.
the other thing i obsessed over was big assgnments in college as i am or rather was a perfectionist. sometimes a paper was 1000words and i would write twice as much and have to delete paragraphs. that was the nature of my motivation and willpower before sz, put me on the spot and ill always give one hundred percent. i like to think i used to have a great deal of potential in the world.
i think it is the same for many of us, without sz we would all be able to get hard work done, either on a constant basis or whenever the need arose.
