I work 50%. 18 hours a week. I vary between feeling exhausted by it and loving it. Do think i learned a lot and it helped me. I work in peer support, but in a more coordinating position. I do all sorts of things there because it is a new position and theme in this organisation.

I am currently doing volunteer clerical work for a hospice office for eight to ten hours a week.

I am searching for full-time employment though. I have two applications to do accounts payable - one in a university medical center and the other through my mental health community services board. Then I have another application to be the executive assistant to my city’s fire chief. That one involves accounting as well as budgeting. I hope I get to interview for at least one of these!

Prior to now, I was on disability for 4 1/2 months due to my sza and paranoia. I went on Zyprexa in mid-March and now all my symptoms are under control, so I am ready to start full-time employment.

I don’t work. was thinking maybe I could handle 20 hours a week as a dishwasher, or mowing grass. something easy. I can’t work full-time and function in my home life but maybe I could handle 20 hours a week or 4 hours a day Monday through Friday, with the weekends off.

I clean a liquor store twice a week, it’s nothing fancy but the pace is good for now. I had a lot of random jobs before I got sick, mostly in food service. I was also in school for Social Work but I relapsed bad. I plan on eventually working in a textiles shop, or enrolling in a pharmacy assistant program when it comes out next year.

I work as an administrator for a local mental health organization. It’s boring desk work, but I feel like I’m making a difference. I’m going to be going on parental leave, once we get kids.

I don’t work. I survive on a pension and living with Dad. It’s a good life and I like my lot. I work I get stressed. I get stressed I get paranoid. It’s a viscious cycle and I avoid stress as much as I can. I do a couple of days volunteering for my cricket club in the city. Gets me out of the house and it’s important if your not working to have something to do!
