I have all my basic needs met. I’m grateful for that. I’m stable. I’m grateful for that too.
But my life is meaningless, and I don’t know what to do about it.
I rack my brain every night trying to figure out what I want, and I can’t think of anything that I want.
I don’t know if this actually has anything to do with schizophrenia.
I’m missing something but don’t know what.
Can someone please tell me what I want ?! 
I can’t tell you what you want, but I can tell you what I want. Like what I have said on another post I was contented with my life but I wanted a little progress every week such as reading a new book and hopefully writing after having done enough reading. I move forward like a snail but this little productiveness makes me feel good about myself.
It is not for us to decide what you want. It is up to you to decide to do what you want. You need to identify what you enjoy and then do it.
I know you like photography for example, so get up early and photograph a sunrise. Spend time finding a place to go to take that photo. Walk and shoot.
Edit your photos. Learn photoshop. Set up an instagram account and post your photos to get some feedback.
Think and set about going to places that you can take photography anywhere in the country.
If you can’t get out of the house due to anxiety, then take steps that you can. That means doing a CBT course, or speaking to a therapist to overcome this anxiety.
This is an example about doing something that you love and going after it. It could be anything else.
Doing something you love provides meaning to your life! So do it, if you can’t then make sure that you can eventually. 
From the library I recently got the book, “How to Listen to Jazz”.
I soaked in chapter 1 so far… a lot of people like Jazz, I like it because it’s improvisational, and (you really like music…), I think I’m(for one) getting into jazz, because my talking (across a lot of situations) leads to more talking? It just feels a little like improv…
It’s a beautiful subject, and the book is formatted to read easily!!
I do not know what you want. Bicycle riding makes me happy and it is also good for us sz people. I would take more photos but my camera phone is broken. I have an Instagram account but I just like to look at other people’s photos. Maybe a good book could be nice. Maybe a good movie could be nice too.
I, too, have my all my basic needs at my hand, and I still am uncapable of finding out what is the right thing to do with my life. Every now and then I get a burst of an idea, after some while I think of every possible situation with this, and so I am never starting it. I think everything out to the point where I start seeing the bad things about it.
Same here.but something hold me to live.damn survival insticts.i m wasted by society.i feel like this.
