i like the idea of 4 to 5 hours a day monday through friday with the weekends off. so 20-25 hours a week. i think that would actually be healthier for me, because i would have less free time everyday.

i think i would hate my life working full time. that is too much for me. i will only work full time if i have to.

20 to 25 hours is my sweet spot.

depends what the job is, i did 4 hrs a week cleaning and i hated it,

if i get the peer support job then i’ll be doing 10 hrs a week

It all depends on the job and the workload.
My current job is 40 hours a week, and I manage fine.

here’s a little breakdown
1 hour commute
4 hours work
2 hours eating
1 hour home chores
2 hours exercise
1 hour shower and shave
5 hours free

i would still have 5 hours of free time if i worked 4 hours a day, which i think is pretty good time to chill online, or listen to music whatever.

what kind of positive and negative symptoms do you have? doesn’t work make it worse?

I thought it would, because school makes my symptoms really bad, but surprisingly no.

I hear voices, I sometimes get intrusive thoughts or paranoia, and I have some negative symptoms like lack of initiative and fatigue.

I think it has really helped me to have a daily routine. I know where I have to be and when, and what I have to do and when.
My job is challenging enough that I don’t get bored, but not so challenging I become stressed.

At the moment I’m working from home due to Covid-19, and I actually miss the routine of going to work.

I cannot work at all because I get paranoid around people, my sza gives me very poor judgement, I don’t own a car and I cannot drive, I suffer from severe, frequent insomnia, and severe daily migraines, and I have degenerative osteoarthritis all over my body.

I work about 5 hours a week. Right now that’s about 1 hour a day from home, exceptions didn’t last week and am working 10 hours at the library this week. I’m do e in10 min.

I was cleaning about 10 hours a week, on top of a bit of studying. I’m not sure I could handle full-time, it would depend on the nature of the job and it would have to be done from home.

i work 16 hours a week. working more would make me symptomatic, and miserable
