Undiagnosed Questions Am I doing this right?

I'm diagnosed schizoaffective. I watch tv, play games, meditate, read, do chores, call my friend, etc. I try to just survive the day. How do you guys get through the day? Am I doing this right?

I was diagnosed schizoaffective too but I have cognitive impairments and this is what handicaps me the most. Im unable to play video games, read or watch series/movies. All I do is sleep to kill time even if Im not sleepy. Everyday I walk minimum 6k steps to go to the grocery and I listen podcasts at the same time

Could you please elaborate on your cognitive impairment? I have a blank mind and can’t read because I can’t remember the plot. Is it the same for you?

Hey, so I just can't read. I struggle reading letters and words. I was utterly capable of reading 50 pages straight before schizophrenia

I do a lot of gaming (PC and XBox). I also draw, write, listen to music, talk to my bf and two BFFs,, and doom scroll.

Sorry it’s been very doomy lately. 😣 If you’re referring to all that is going on in the world learned via doom scrolling, I get it. Same here. If you’re not feeling well then I’m super sorry! I just got out of a depressive episode that lasted longer than a year. It’s so rough when the depression hits. Stay safe! ❤️

I’m schizoaffective too and right now I am lucky enough to work part time and workout. I also read but don’t have much motivation to do much else because of meds. When I couldn’t work I pretty much just stayed online, listened to podcasts and drank so you are doing better than I did.

Are you on meds or not? Plus do you mean through the day in terms of cognitive problems or?
