I have such a schedule at work and enjoy my job and the weekend. My job is some serious therapy for me. I kinda got depressed with being around the house all that time. Had some work projects to do. I think I’m going to work until I die. As I’d probably would loose my mind again in retirement.

It’s a hard thing for me. If I work I stress. I then get paranoid and it becomes unbearable. It’s good you can work though! It gives life some structure. Next holiday you have try some structure in that. Walk everyday. See a movie. It’ll keep you from sitting at home getting bummed out!

I used to be like that. I remember my first real time off work was when I was out for a month after getting my gall bladder removed and I thought I would lose it! But then psychosis hit and working causes me so much stress that my meds can’t keep up. I got used to it eventually.

I used to get stressed and paranoid at work. I got a new boss that’s much better. I work solo mostly and take care to do a good job and keep a moral work attitude so I don’t get paranoid. I’ve learned to confront co workers if I suspect something and head off my paranoia. As long as I’m staying busy at work I feel pretty normal. It’s staying around the house that gets me down.

Are you working now?
Nope. Haven’t had a job in more than 5 years.

Sorry, I just reread what I wrote and see it’s confusing. I meant I got used to being home and not working.

Not a bad cop. I’m uber social and get amongst it but it’s on my terms. Over the course of a work week it really drags me down now I’m older and on meds. I’m pretty sedated.
Keep on keeping on…do what you do…Your doing better than most and that should be applauded! Keeping busy is good with this disorder!
