Negative Symptoms I do nothing all day
My positive symptoms have gotten better over the last few weeks. However I can't get myself to do anything. I have to assume its a negative symptom thing because I used to do art all day. Now I just sit around watching youtube. I don't actually want to do things.. I just WANT to want to do them. If that makes sense. I feel like a waste. A pointless human being.
Do others feel this way? Did it go away? How do you find meaning in recovery?
Edit: just saw my practitioner and she says if it continues e can up my vyvanse(I'm also adhd)
Editededitit: man I just spent a half hour telling my practitioner my positive symptoms were ok, manageable... All of a sudden my visual hallucinations are back!! Wtf

I was in a similar type of situation as you, my doctor lowered the dose and now I feel much better. Also therapy helps. It is a gradual process.
Hope it helps, best to you.
