I don’t know. I think about it a lot. Everyday I think “is this a day I could have gone to work?” and sadly so many days are a no. I just don’t think I can right now. Maybe in a few mores years I can.

Probably not because in only seven more years I’ll be retirement age. I’m 58 now.

I guess I’m waiting for new meds as @far_cry0 would say. Can’t do anything now.

I’m trying to find a job but I have a feeling it will not happen… it’s my fate to be on social insecurity and on the poverty line.

I’m 47 and have held many jobs for short periods of time during my life. Now I’ve been on disability for the past 3 1/2 years and I show no signs of being able to return. My paranoia is just too powerful.

Like leaf, i sometimes ask myself if today was a day I could have gone to work. The answer is always no. I can’t get past my symptoms as it is, but to be expected to contribute and be productive - and accurate - with a work load is simply out of the question.

At 61-no. The nearest I got was way back when I was 22. It was proposed I go to an industrial assessment centre. My pdoc said “No” . That I wasn’t well enough. It required more help and support than I’ve ever got to have made working a possibility.

I’m cautiously optimistic. I don’t know about ever having a career but I think I could handle returning to retail. I really liked being a cashier before psychosis forced me out of that job.

Im lucky i can always be a part time janitor. They are always looking for janitors.

I know a old drunk 50 years old and he never worked a day in his life. And there’s nothing wrong with the guy. He’s just useless

I don’t think I could right now, but I’m hoping when the kid goes to school in 3-4 years I’ll be ready.

I’m not sure but Thursday is my first day so I’m going to find out lol. I’m so miserable staying home being broke I can’t take it anymore. If I fail I fail but I need to try.
