Anybody just… not think about anything? I feel like a blank slate/zombie. Like other people I feel like have constant thoughts and things going on in their had. But there’s just nothing up there lol

Usually I’m the same way, nothing in my head but today my head was filled with rapid thoughts and images.
Some of my thoughts were weird.
Like I was seeing images in my head of a couple of horses painting the walls of a church! … strange!
Maybe that’s because I didn’t sleep well last night.
Having blank thoughts could be the result of being on Antipsychotics.

Always have a chat to your psydoc. Poverty of thought is a symptom. I was a bit like that on risperdal when first diagnosed. I’d be in a conversation and I’d know I should say something back and it just wasn’t there…I was just blank and couldn’t respond. It sounds a similar thing.

I’m on abilify and Buspirone for anxiety. I wonder if it could be the anti-anxiety meds cause I noticed it more since I started taking them. I’ll tell my pysdoc/prescriber next time I speak to them

Yeah worth a follow up. It is like a symptom and you could get it from the meds too I suppose. It’s a complicated thing but if it’s happening a lot then it’s worth investigating.

Same. My mind is totally empty most of the day. And then when I try to think, mid thought I forget what it was that I was thinking about. Also hard to picture things, like if I were to try to mentally picture a pyramid, it would just not appear in my mind. It’s as if everyday I’m on autopilot.

Same. My sister said it’s like I’m meditating all the time. Not thinking about anything, thought in, thought out, nothing. Just nothing.

It’s frustrating but it’s also almost calming/relaxing

I don’t have much creative thought like I used to and I am not led by thoughts of “I think I should do this” . I have to really try hard and force myself to do things.
I wouldn’t say zero thought but I would say I have a huge disconnect between thoughts being translated to something that is normal behavior or ideation. I am very aware of this but can’t seem to change it.

Yes lack of thought and also flat affect. If think of something and if some other thought or distraction come then previous thought instantly fades from mind.

Kind of hard not to think about anything when an angry voice is constantly insulting you like the kid from the exorcist.
I feel for you.
Lack of thoughts was my first symptom. It lasted for two years and was the worst i ever felt… or not felt… I was nothing. Had no no thoughts. No feelings. Pure hell.
My mother died during that period and there was nothing inside of me. No sorrow.
But it ended, and now i have a lot of thoughts and feeling . It will end for you as well, i guess, and hope.
