anyone else just in a state where you couldn't really give a crap about whats going on around you you just feel like seeing what comes next and observe it but not get involved cause that's kinda how i feel right now mixed in with a bit of lazybones kinda wondering if there is anyway to get myself more motivated to take part in the world

Do you do any exercises like walking or lighting weights? Our meds suppress dopamine and that is the rewards chemical in our brain. I recently started exercising and that natural lifts your dopamine receptors and its helping me be more positive and in a better mood all together. I would suggest making an effort to do it. It can't hurt.

500 situps! Jeez...pretty impressive. I used to jog 3 miles a day, but now I just lounge around. Just can't get motivated.

I hear what you are saying. It's not just about the exercise either, it's everything really.

What's the weather like in IN? Do you have any pets maybe going to a park and just walking around might do ya some good.. Thats the only 2 things I can think of unless you wanna talk to your pdoc about a med adjustment. I noticed in your profile you don't have any anti-depressents maybe you can talk to you pdoc about them to get you our of this rut.

That stuck situation is a hard one to get out of..
I think we just have to keep pushing ourselves.. One foot in front of the other...
Even getting out for a short walk is a beginning..
The cold winter weather can be the pits...It's been above zero here this week and I can feel the Spring coming.. I hope it will be for you to..x

    Due to my increased paranoia, anxiety, and a panic attack over the weekend, my psychiatrist has put me back in a full dose of Zyprexa until further notice. Every time I think I'm getting ahead something happens and it's back to square one. I knew he was gonna do this but I can't help feeling disappointed. It is what it is.
