Non psychotic schizophrenia things (because all the schizophrenia posts focus on the psychotic aspects of the illness)

• The things that used to bring you joy doesn’t bring you joy anymore. Your favorite tv show is boring. Drawing isn’t fun anymore. You listen to your favorite album and feel nothing.
• Everything feels like a chore, even the things you used to do for fun.
• Not being able to find the energy to shower for a week.
• Feeling empty and grey and being emotionally disconnected from everything and everyone.
• Not being able to find the motivation to do anything.
• Not being able to concentrate and focus and having to give up on homework, on reading, on simply watching a movie.
• Being unable to figure out how to go about cleaning your room or preparing a meal or doing your laundry.
• Not feeling passionate about anything anymore.
• Isolating yourself from friends and family.
• Lying in bed all day because you can’t find the energy to even move.
• Forgetting all kinds of things, both minor and really important stuff.
• Not being able to structure and perform even simple tasks like making a sandwich or brushing your teeth.
• Not speaking much or at all.
• Losing interest in everything – your hobbies, your relationships, your studies.
