I read it right here on the main page. The study that says certain people take doing nothing to be a positive move, and that doing something, even positive, counts as a negative.

I wish I could read the article again. Did it say how to change this "internal theory"? This truly describes me to a T. Taking Abilify has helped a lot with motivation--for instance, cleaning? I am now grossed out by a dirty house, and am now (for like the first time in my life) see cleaning as a positive action. It's embarrassing to admit that but my point is, what the article said really hit home for me. But even Abilify has it's limits, and it's physically draining me ( probably because I'm--gasp! MOVING MY BUTT lol).

So how do I move from recognizing that I see inaction as a positive to seeing action as a positive? Are people born this way? Is this a part of an introverted personality or am I just gun shy? Is this part if PTSD? Why why why....

If anyone has any ideas or "gets" this or has read the article, can you (please?) speak up and contribute to this thread? Inaction -- procrastination--depression-- has altered my life badly. I'm doing ok today, better I should say. But I want to learn how to take positive action, instead of seeing inaction as beneficial. There's nothing beneficial about being a couch potato, about being a bystander in my own life.

Thank you!!!
