Going back to Work (I hope)

School and Work
1

Well today I am thinking that this ■■■■ will never end, and I will have SZ plus ASD for the rest of my life

Never will I be 100%, and I have been off now for two months.

If I don’t do something about it now I think I will never go back

I have asked work if they’d let me back Monday.

Signed off by the doctor until 09/04/22, but if both parties agree I can come back.

Honestly I have had it with all the messing around with drugs etc.

I need to get back on my feet, otherwise I will continue to rot in bed as I have for the last 2 months.

Feel robbed, and I can’t take this lying down. Have to fight for betterment and treat the SZ and ASD with contempt and say no, you can get ■■■■■■. I am in charge. ■■■■ you psychosis

All the best!!!
I have done nothing in past 2 years,
I don’t think I will get a job.
The course I was enrolled got closed due to time I took to complete it.
Anyways its not the last chapter of my book.
Will look forward to hopefully work again.
Keep rocking @Joker you can.

Can you get support to help you keep this job?

Support here sucks big time.

I am going to try and do what I used to - just battle through each day, each week and eventually each year.

Just in the hope I don’t lose my mind completely.

Not doing too well on the medication front, or symptoms.

From now on work is primary to mental health in my calculations.

You really are a fighter. I admire that.

I’m volunteering and checking my phone when I can.

I hope you feel better @Joker. Are you suffering without working? Are you suffering with working?

Sounds good, keep working as long as you can, you are still young. I miss having a job after i had to accept disability. I am hoping i can get a sheltered job or volunteer this summer.

I hope your situation improves.

Sometimes, a medication just clicks. It takes time to find it.

Are there medications for ASD?

None. It’s not really something that meds can fix

Wow. what a difference 7 hours makes.

Today has been incredibly painful

Maybe this has overloaded me - I am not sure.

Sucks.

:grimacing: :smoking:

The refusal to quit will get you through it.

I am trying desperately to find the strength I used to have not to quit or give up, but maybe the illness has progressed to a point now where it just gets harder.

Super frustrated.

Just spent some time in bed as I was feeling so light headed and sick.

Still feel rotten now

So here is something I realized when I had a few years off.

Time will pass by whether you stay in bed all day or if you get up and do something. It will pass by just the same.

1 year , 10 years , 20 years. I don’t want 20 years to go by knowing all I was doing was laying in bed.

When I didn’t feel well I would sleep all day and night and I get nothing done.

I would do that for many many days just wasting the time away.

Eventually got so sick of doing that and decided ■■■■ it I’m just going to do stuff despite feeling like crap.

So that was my developing of a refusal to quit mindset.

Hope you can get back on your feet one day soon man.
