overcoming avolition: how?

so i've got goals, and i sorta start accomplishing them, and get close, then blam. i haven't had a job since i became schizoaffective 6, 7 years ago. i haven't been able to finish a semester at college. i just sorta...stop going. right now i am hoping to become a personal trainer, bench press 300, and do an amateur mma fight...but the avolition is starting to take hold again and im finding myself sitting in bed in front of this computer all day again. doc started my on straterra for the avolition when i told him i took it 7 years ago and it increased my productivity 'til i stopped taking it a few days later. i think this might just be a placebo attempt though.

is there any treatment for avolition? drugs? attitudes? i'd really like to achieve some of my goals one of these days.

Hi, blackbird86! If these meds worked once, maybe they will again, give it a try. Also, you can try posting in the medication forum too, for more answers.

I can sympathise with your situation. I used to go to the gym 5 times a week and have done so for the past 13 years. A couple of months ago I just stopped going. No motivation at all. The very thought of it makes me feel sick with worry.
