That is the word I was looking for---avolition. It really sucks since this lack of motivation prevents us schizophrenics from accomplishing an entire task or two.
You made me feel better coz I was wondering y I got lazy too and lost interest. I feel like I can't finish school no more I don't feel smart and not motivated to go to school anymore. I just hate this illness i take respidal and Ima take seraquil again in the future to see if I change, I don't know if I will ☹️😤
Why is this life absolutely beautiful? It's easy (easier at least) to say when you're not one of the billions being abused and tormented. If anything this life is a meat thresher. I truly don't see evidence that it's beautiful...you're spewing delusion, cause even if that's your subjective opinion it's not backed by the reality of what goes down in this world.
My issue, due to my autism, is that I have a hard time getting started when I need to do things, things like cleaning, but also things that a like, like drawing, I haven't done it in ages, maybe around 2012 was the last time I attempted to draw something. I live in psychiatric group home so I get a lot of help when it comes to doing all that needs to be done, I do all the work they just push me but it helps, I would never clean otherwise.
could you do a video on your experience of finding out you had a mental illness, who first noticed you needed help, when you wanted or didnt want medical help...the process of getting diagnosed and trial and error with medications. also maybe a good video would be some of the best and worst side effects from different meds through the years. i find the process of this so interesting. my uncle has bi polar among SEVERAL other mental illnesses and the trial and error with meds has been an over 20yr process. its always interesting to hear others stories on this.
I can kind of relate to loss of interest. I used to be really into writing and once I went on antidepressants when I was 18 I lost all my creative drive and started sleeping 20 hours a day. Got kicked out of university because my grades were awful. I'm on different meds now but I've never attempted to write again.
im schizoaffective and im on aristada. i was diagnosed about 6 months ago. this video scares me because i was under the impression the laziness was coming from my meds. now everything makes sense. i isolate myself and play video games and i think that makes it worse. thanks for posting this.
A shaman is someone who swims in the same ocean as the schizophrenic, but the shaman has thousands and thousands of years of sanctioned technique and tradition to draw upon. In a traditional society, if you exhibited “schizophrenic” tendencies, you are immediately drawn out of the pack and put under the care and tutelage of master shamans. You are told: “You are special. Your abilities are very central to the health of our society. You will cure. You will prophesy. You will guide our society in its most fundamental decisions.” Contrast this with what a person exhibiting schizophrenic activity in our society is told. They’re told: “You don’t fit in. You are becoming a problem. You don’t pull your own weight. You are not of equal worth to the rest of us. You are sick. You have to go to the hospital. You have to be locked up.” - You are on a par with prisoners and lost dogs in our society. So that treatment of schizophrenia makes it incurable.
I have Schizophrenia. But I'm anything but lazy. I have found things that I love to do, or would like to do. But my issue is fatigue. When I have som energy I spend it cleaning my flat, fixing cars, doing some king of project, working outside on the house I live in. I am not satisfied with a day doing nothing but spending time on my computer. Not at all. I need some kind of activity to be pleased with the day. A balance between work/activity and doing something lazy is the key for me. But I'm doing quite OK at the moment. Living by myself and having good meds. Just sucks to have fatigue.

As someone with Major Depression, almost every single anxiety disorder, and has shown symptoms of schizophrenia for quite a while now, I have been hit hard with the symptom of no motivation and energy. I might be lying in bed in the morning, and I physically have to use the bathroom, but I don't mentally have the motivation to get up and do it - I suppose I think "what's the point?" and also just don't have the energy. I've quit doing things I love way too many times. On specific hobby I quit for 3 years and have just now started back - it is a challenge, very hard to fight my mental illnesses, but to me it is worth a try and I am tried of being under he tyranny of my own mind!
i just recently started watching your videos , and i would like to know how your parents handle and if you have any sibilings how did they handle the illness too, i have a brother with schizophrenia and i would like to try to help him on his bad days. thank you in advance i think you are so strong and such kind hearted person! also thanks for trying to help people witb the same illness i hope my brother watches your videos ☺
I do nothing everyday. I'm not sure if it is because of schizophrenia, but I'm perfectly happy sitting down or laying down and doing nothing. Can anyone relate to this or am I a lost cause?
I really like you, you have good vibes. if someone with your illness can be as happy as you are, even doe you wasnt always this happy, anybody can be this happy and look at life the way you do! keep em comin and ill watch, peace!
my life in two words is the tittle of this video hahahah. Glad to hear your dog is doing better! I would like to hear more about your music taste as well, I miss you singing!
It depends. My helper knows when I've been lazy or not. My eyes change, and I laugh a lot if I'm having problems. If I'm being lazy, I'll try to stay in bed or will drag my feet on my chores. Sometimes, if I'm having cognitive problems or somatic hallucinations I will walk around but not read or study and will drink 50 gallons of water and not put my cups up.
I have an idea ! so you said you lost interest in the things you used to like and enjoy. How about trying something new... e.g. you can read about different cultures ?... I personally enjoy learning about other cultures... their food, activities, celebrations... read about things you never thought you will be reading about... biographies... countries you never heard of... this world is huge and the exciting books or people are countless... All the best. waiting for a video where you will talk about a new & interesting culture you've read about. 🌟
Hi Jacob :) Just stopping by to say I hope you're feeling well, you seem a bit down in this video & your recent snap story. Looking forward to the next video!
i feel you bro Im in the same position as you i use to be in mental hospital for like 4 year straight, i got discharge 2013 i always watch your video very since, very inspire me to keep going. thank bro
I would like to see a video on sleep. Have you had any sleeping difficulties and if so what helps you? My son really struggles with his paranoia and sleep. Thanks
Loveyour videos,man. Thank you for giving us insight into your life. I have depression and social anxiety and it totaly affects my productivity and desire to do things and I miss out on a lot. Stay strong!
these videos have allowed me to learn to be happy through understanding the nature of my illness which is paranoia delusions and depression. this channel got me threw my diagnosis

You're so right, depression can cause laziness. Stay positive and you look great. Hope your dog will be ok ^_^
Thank you so much :)
Marina Joyce I love you ❤️
It's not laziness, it's avolition and fatigue. Those are actual symptoms of schizophrenia.
Maya Imani-Amani Maya!~
how do you deal with it... medication? social worker tells me its a battle i just need to fight through. but i have no desire or hope of change
That is the word I was looking for---avolition. It really sucks since this lack of motivation prevents us schizophrenics from accomplishing an entire task or two.
You motivate me so much to stay positive and to get along with my mental illnesses much better.. Thank you
Thank you :)
can you do a video about your favorite bands and favorite songs?
Yes, that might be the next video.
IhaveSchizophrenia yeah dude go deep into your music taste!
IhaveSchizophrenia heck yeah
Jacob, you don't have to talk about illness all the time, maybe do a q&a, there's tons of videos you could make. Stay cool, upload more.
Sorry about your dog Jacob. I hope he recovers from surgery quickly!
He's good now! Has to wear a cone on his head though for like a week.
lmao
drinking game: take a shot every time jacob says testicle 😂
hahaha , gotta get wasted ayy
I read this before he started saying testicles. Thanks, I needed a laugh.
can you make a video on how your parents have handled all of this?
Sidney Sheer that's an excellent question. I don't think Jacob has mentioned that before. I hope he can make a video soon on it.
I can relate this vid so much with my depression.

I am doing my best to fight my mental illness too but it is quite hard and I am not quitting.
you've helped me a lot within the past few months.. i'm so grateful, thank you
You're right, with depression comes laziness 🌹Stay positive 🌹
Southern Discomfort It's true. Laziness is the wrong word I guess 🌺
I hope everything works out fine for you and your dog :) ly
I wanted to make a video about laziness, but I just couldn't bother.
I loved what you said, literally about what motivates me. Keep up.
you are amazing
discuss your ideologies about life or your points of view or tips on how to operate properly with schizophrenia
i just recently started watching your videos , and i would like to know how your parents handle and if you have any sibilings how did they handle the illness too, i have a brother with schizophrenia and i would like to try to help him on his bad days. thank you in advance i think you are so strong and such kind hearted person! also thanks for trying to help people witb the same illness i hope my brother watches your videos ☺
JUST BECAUSE YOU HAVE A MENTAL ILLNESS DOES NOT MEAN YOU ARE LAZY!! I have some mental illnesses and I AM NOT LAZY!!
I know. This is directed to the ones that are.
But I find it difficult to differentiate between the two. What's due to mental illness and what's just laziness?
I do nothing everyday. I'm not sure if it is because of schizophrenia, but I'm perfectly happy sitting down or laying down and doing nothing. Can anyone relate to this or am I a lost cause?
I have Schizophrenia and has been somewhat productive. I have made some progress.
uhm hi
if you don't know what you can talk about, just ask your followers.
I'm pretty sure there are a lot of people who have ideas for new videos. :)
I really like you, you have good vibes. if someone with your illness can be as happy as you are, even doe you wasnt always this happy, anybody can be this happy and look at life the way you do! keep em comin and ill watch, peace!
A question and answer would be dope
my life in two words is the tittle of this video hahahah. Glad to hear your dog is doing better! I would like to hear more about your music taste as well, I miss you singing!
great video! I can relate so much because of my depression.
You're doing great 🌷
You should do a Q and A
pin this

I would like to see a video on sleep. Have you had any sleeping difficulties and if so what helps you? My son really struggles with his paranoia and sleep. Thanks
theres ssris if you've taken them long term that can induce a lack of ambition and make you abandon your previously enjoyed hobbies or interests
Good video. It´s amazing how you deal with the situation you´re in. You are great, keep it up, I am proud of you, we all are proud of you.
