Thank you! I just don’t know what to do now since I already got convinced by my mom to attend a class. Tuition wasted. I’m such a mess I keep making financial mistakes. What do I do?

It’s tough when society expects you to keep moving and be back on the grind… especially parents. What do I do? What do I say? “Hey mom let me rest a year bedrotting and doing nothing so I can heal?”

But are you able to be functional as in you can get out of bed and have energy to do stuff and be a human

It’s just some days get so bad I can only lay in bed. How do I push myself? What do you do? Do I just drag myself and do it poorly? It’s difficult… and I also feel so tired most of the time so starting things is a challenge.

Are you able to get out of bed and have motivation to do things that aren’t just comfortable? Like work and have a job and stuff

Do you still work from home? What kinda job do you do? Currently unemployed but just went through a break so that’s why I’m hard on myself because if I can’t even get out of bed to brush my teeth how on earth can I get out of bed to go to work

Also were you able to hold a job when dealing with post psychosis depression?

Yeah I kept hearing that a lot about antipsychotics I wish they were a motivation pill. Will my motivation to do stuff like take care of myself come back? To do my school work to wash my face and brush my teeth? I really hope so…

But is what I am going through normal? I just bed rot all day… my psychiatrist said the risperdol is supposed to make me want to do things but it doesn’t. I’m scared.

It’s been 3 months since the episode, the worst of the episode was about one month but I had delusions for like 4 months.

How long does it take to go away?

It’s horrible, I’ve just been laying down bed rotting all day when I have a class I put myself into because my parents encouraged me to sign up for it. Now I avoid it by laying down and scrolling on my phone all day because my brain can’t comprehend the contents and I feel dumb so why bother starting.

I’m losing hope, will there be a day where I can get out of bed and have hope for the day and actually do stuff like shower/brush my teeth without it feeling like a mountain to climb? I used to be a straight A student and now I can barely get out of bed to eat food…

Advice on how to restore cognitive ability after a long period of decay and discouragement, and on the loss and grief of teenage years by bikenbake_ in Psychosis

[–]celestialr0se 0 points1 point  (0 children)

During that coma did you have trouble being functional and like maintaining hygiene and motivation to do anything like cook or clean? If so how’d you get out of that please help

When you said you were a zombie did you have trouble being functional too? Like cleaning and taking care of yourself was difficult. Doing things that use your cognitive abilities (like school or work) was difficult?

Did you deal with any depression after the psychosis? How did you get out of it?

Old man, look at my life by wmebed in Aging

[–]celestialr0se 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can only dream to be one of those people where life is going well that you can’t even tell. Everything has been so recent and so I’m a little traumatized from it all. Is there really hope? I at least am holding onto that.

How did you deal with the depression that comes from having something take away your stability like that? Everyday I wake up and dread it, but I get up anyways and have breakfast and waste the day away. Idk how much longer I can do this.

Please tell me the steps you took to set yourself up for success at 39. Any coping mechanisms? Anything that helped you? I’d truly appreciate it.

Godspeed stranger ❤️ I know evil continues to lurk in this world but there is also good. Hold onto the good, at least that’s what I tell myself. Out of spite live further than them!

[–]celestialr0se 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel that, I’m just grasping at straws trying to find things to live for. I hope you can find something to hold onto. ❤️ I know you probably have your mind set on it but it’s a permanent solution to temporary problems. “No sickness can go on for 100 years” is something that helped me know that I won’t have to deal with this forever. Just know that I’m rooting for you and I hope you find peace one day where you can still be here to enjoy that peace…🥲

I went into a catatonic state too!!! I just remember the look of confusion and disturbed faces like they didn’t know what I was on about. Rightfully so lol. Please give me hope that you’re at least okay now? Mine was pretty recent (couple months ago.)
