Hi Luan. Are you new to Risperidone? My mum takes that. She has issues with it, but then drugs effect everyone differently. Going to the gym is a good start. Stick with it. If you don't feel like going today, go tomorrow. Same with talking to people, etc. Tomorrow is another day, and if you can't do it today, see how it is tomorrow. Taking things day by day is one of my main coping strategies. You say you are supposed to be trying to get better by yourself. Who has set this goal - you, your doctor or someone else? Maybe you could consider that it is okay to talk to other people if they can help you feel better? Would you like to? Do you have sympathetic friends? I don't like talking to many people, but there are one or two who make me feel better, even if we don't talk about my issues. Just talking to them about other stuff can be comforting. Hang in there. Tomorrow will be a new day.
