Does anyone here work?

Working as an accountant doing the homework was so fun! I am beginning to feel well again. Before i got sick i wanted to be a financial advisor for fidelity or edward jones. I wanted to buy nanotechnologu stocks. At 26 i was learning russian and all kinds od stuff then the voices coincided and i felt broken and broke.

Now with this depakote i take, and taking the seroquel and perphenazine i feel great. I will try to be as clean as i used to be but its not always as easy but you know homework i could participate in pretty soon.

Definitely needed to organize my mind, get rid of the hallucinations, whatever they are, and focus and be on time to work, succeed and dress nice, shower and sleep at night and work during the day.

When i used to work i would set mh direct deposit to put aside 100 dollars, i would forget it was there and at one point i had a 710 credit score.

I actually feel this morning like i should fill out my fasfa again and do online business classes again.

Its a big self esteem hit though that i am sick and 34 i do get its not too bad but like i had read peoples biography like hillary clinton i wanted to find a boyfriend my age (im gay) while i was in college.

Well see, anyone do anything in business? Like business, accounting or marketing? In my state people can be a teacher with a bachelors degree too theres a lot of reasons to go back really.

When i would make the numbers match in my first accounting class i always felt like real good about myself.

I was a computer programmer before all this began, but I don’t feel capable of returning. Having said that, there are many people on this site who hold down a job, so it is do-able. I sincerely hope that you can return to something that you love.

Right now I’m just learning how to live with a crippling illness and get some joy and pleasure back. Also want to restore my creativity, inspiration, and self-confidence. I feel like I died.

I am a data analyst

Before that I worked in marketing too

Also, I have been a landscaper with my own business, but it got too much having to work 8-5pm then see customers 5-8pm then paperwork until 11-12pm most nights

There’s a lot of money to be made and interesting projects working self-employed, but you really do have to put in a lot of hours to make it happen

A lot to be said for having set hours that are reasonable

Less stress, less responsibility

Im in sales, more on the management side.
My motivation and cognitive function waxes and wanes so thats challenging. Being consistent is the hardest part.

Something that kinda stuck with me is someone that said 'I dont want to know how your work when your feeling 10/10 i want to know how you work when your at at 5 or 6".

So i try my best to get through the rough days, cuz when i am doing well I am quite productive.

I was also a programmer. No way I could work now, my meds barely contain my psychosis. Too many bad days.

The landscaping was very high profit. But these days with prices as they are, I don’t think the spending power is what it was just a year ago from consumers/customers.

Margins will be tighter

Yeah i agree. Disposable income is tighter.
I did all exterior cleaning for a long time which was also high profit. I just don’t want to do the labour anymore, or deal with that type of work
