I have posted about this topic several times. I am still lost with not really any answers. Most of the time I find myself with a blank mind and not able to do the same things I did before my psychotic episode. I have not been able create spontaneous interesting conversation out of nothing like I use to be able to. I am learning to cope better with this problem, but it's been 7 months. I should be back to normal. In the sense of confidence and self esteem. This leads me to believe that I might have social anxiety. It seems to be the closest thing I have to my situation. I've read forums about people expression the blank mind with nothing to add to the conversation and one word responses. This is incredibly frustrating.

How am I suppose to be a broadcaster when I haven't been able to talk well? How will I make networking connections, new friends, establish romantic relationships, and enjoy myself in social life like I use to do? I am lost and my only place to turn is once again to psych central. Thanks for all the support already, but I want to know what my deal is? Why don't other people have this problem after psychosis? Does it get better?

The only thing I can do is watch sports, listen to music, play video games, exercise, play basketball, and cards. That's been my life. I just turned 23 still living with parents after I moved back home from college. I feel like my life is put on pause due to lack of communication. Everyone is going on with their lives and talking and meeting new people, new experiences, and new environments. I talk better online, but I don't feel as smart as I use to be. As creative, funny, and interesting to talk to. What's my deal? Can anyone help?
