Haha.

Yeah, exactly. For simplicity's sake I tell people I have schizophrenia, even though there's a little more explanation to that (the high-functioning part). "Anhedonia" confuses everyone and "chronic boredom" would just make everyone say, "Oh, so why don't you go out more or read a book or something." Sometimes people understand it better as "depression," too.

By the way, I was an avid gamer (Sim City, Civilization, Counter-Strike, various online games) up until my psychotic break. Doing those things now just feel really forced.

I don't take any antipsychotics on a long-term basis. I am technically supposed to, but since my psychosis isn't a chronic problem (it may not even happen again) I feel comfortable not taking any. I get put on risperdal whenever it does happen though. The amisulpride experiment was just to see if it might do anything for negative symptoms.
