I'm new here and looking for some support! I have schizoaffective disorder and I don't just don't have the energy to do anything. I can't muster the energy to clean much less take a shower!! Does anyone else have this problem???

Hello and Welcome. I have been where you are. One of the things that helped me was being active on this site and connecting with people who understand. It is all about taking baby steps. You are not alone.

I also struggle to do anything. I have no energy for the simplest tasks. I feel like anxiety and depression are eating my body and it aches so much just to exist.

Hi Emily, I completely understand not having enough energy to do anything. I live with depression and anxiety and it zaps much of my energy. I literally could sleep all day and night. My motivation is in the pits. Weekends are especially hard for me because I don't have the work routine that I normally do during the week. Today has been especially bad for me. Very little motivation or interest in doing anything ☹️
