I need to think about it, Latuda had many side effects for me, nausea, akathisia, some positive symptoms like paranoia and some catatonia when I was alone.
I donāt hate my janitor job. I donāt love it but I could write a list of ten positive things about it easilyā¦ Iāve been doing it 7 years and I donāt dread going. Sometimes, the night before I have to work, I look forward to it. Once I get there, time flies and the day goes by quickly and then the whole week goes by quickly. I work in an office building and I used to work among 50 or so people. I got along with most everybody, I didnāt really have conflicts with people. Now almost all of them work from home and I have almost whole wings to myself. I hate to say it but I like working there better now, with just a few people.
Iāve hated jobs before but stayed at them anyways. Unloading trucks at Sears for four years was no picnic. I hated it sometimes, never looked forward to going. It could get pretty grueling lifting heavy things for 7 hours.
I donāt think I hated Kohlās but I didnāt enjoy it. I didnāt like a lot of the stuff I had to do but I needed a job and money and I got semi-comfortable there and I ābit the bulletā and stayed there three years.

I canāt motivate myself to even fill out the forms and apply for a job. I was dxād with sz 11 years ago and have been on APs for most of the last 11 years. I believe that one can be happy as a Buddhist monk, which is not really working, but monks do chores, gardening, etc. I wouldnāt consider myself as happy as most people who work.

Thatās a really good advice, you are really blessed to have somebody tell you thatā¦ and I thank you for those wordsā¦
I donāt really āloveā my job, but I can say Iāve somewhat adjusted to the working society here a bit more since I started living in this countryā¦ though I miss the life in the statesā¦ it is a different country, so of coarse itāll be a different experienceā¦ I need to get used to it.
Although life could be better, but canāt complain, it could be much worseā¦

Your right weāre lucky to be even be employed in the first placeā¦
I love my volunteer job. Itās great. I could turn it into some money and earn some good dollars but I do it part time and Iām on a disability pension. Gives me some street cred but I do what I can and it gets me out of the house and working without most of the stressā¦
I think itās all about that stress management with working. I was pushed back to work after psychosis all those years ago and it failed miserably for me. I should have taken the time off to get well and on the meds but no one I knew had a handle on this stuffā¦
Anyways. If you can control the stress you can do ok and thereās many here who do it wellā¦!

Before my mental breakdown I found myself constantly dreading my job.
I would constantly think of drastic things like injuring or killing myself just to not go.
Granted there were outside factors to that.
Now I find myself scared to work cause of covid

I was originally told that Iād never be working again and here I am. Iām not doing what I had originally trained to do (chef) or what I trained to do next after breaking my back (I.T. professional), but lifeās like that. You just have to keep buggering on until you find something that sticks. Never did I think Iād wind up working in the insurance industry or turn out to be competent at it. Iāve always personally hated needing to purchase insurance as Iām the careful sort who always pays and never collects. That rankles over time.
