How much stress can you handle?

Not sure, it just builds up. When it reacts badly I assume it’s because of the damage done by other substances and certain unfortunate situations

Not much. I worry what i say and freedom of speech. Are we really free? Doubt it sometimes…

Im improving on latuda. Today i only slept 6 hours and woke up at 3am. Not a high qualitity sleeper either. I started slogging and lagging and being an airhead and slow. Im an idiot sometimes. I talk down about myself and i had negative intrusive thoughts. Sometimes im very inefficient, sensitive, and dumb with manly things. I feel lethargic today.

I realize i need to take better care of myself. My throat was hoarse and sore from smoking. Drank water lol. Dehydration.

Its a learning thing and curve.

Made me think im better at math and books than engineering and construction for sure.

You should really stop smoking for your health.

I can’t handle a lot of stress. I can deal with minor stress, but not for too long.

I can’t handle stress from my dad at all. I think I suffer from his ‘narcissism’. I told him right up he’s a narcissist and he said he’s the least narcissistic person. I chuckled. He is the most negative person I ever met. He’s still my dad though. Seems since my grandma died a year ago or so he has been very distant and depressed. He said he would eventually move on after I pass or something along that line.

I can’t handle much stress at all. I try not to stress over or worry about things too much in order to keep my stress levels low.

How do I handle stress? I’ll tell you.
Working at a small business when I was in my early-to mid twenties. The boss wanted me to wash towels on a Saturday afternoon at the laundromat so I loaded 4 huge duffle bags full of towels in the bosses wife’s car, drove over there and the place was pretty full. But I took up ten washers at once. Then it was stand and wait as people came up to complaining about taking so many washers. Talk about stress! No one could tell how stressed I was though. I stayed fairly calm on the outside. Then I took up 8 dryers and stood around as people complained. That was a great way to spend a Saturday afternoon!

I haven’t tested the waters yet. I am hoping I will be able to handle stress again with medication. I was under lots of stress when the positive symptoms started. Going to take some classes this fall.

It depends on the type of stress. In some ways I am very tough and durable, in other ways I am inept and hypersensitive.

I do well to a certain level. If it’s more than usual then I get stressed. I get too stressed I get paranoid. That usually goes pear shaped pretty quickly after that. So I’m pretty resilient but I don’t work full time or for money simply because of this…

I think that stress unbalances me quite a lot mentally. I always call it “scatterbrain” thinking. I lose all ability to organise myself, including the control I have over the mental voice in my mind.

I think that when this gets worse; that’s when the hallucinations start. But this is always in the form of normal intrusive thoughts at first. (Which I had always thought was actually very natural whilst growing up)

Having a SZ disorder while i was going from job to job stressed me out. Now i’ m completely burned out.
My social worker and my pdoc told me i have to seek disability. Can’t work anymore. It makes me sad, i love having a job and I hate the stigma that clings to disability.
