So I’ve been training at Staples for over a week now and its a very stressful and challenging job. I am trying to find a balance between life and professional activities so I don’t get bored at home. I am slowly settling into my new apartment by seeking out resources for free furniture and I’ve joined the YMCA so I could take up swimming. I’ve worked enough so that I may be able to afford the bankruptcy proposal which I am applying for so I’ll have consistent disability payments throughout the school year. I am just waiting on the sarcosine and saphris to kick in so that I’ll that feel better overall. I’m 26 now and I’ve come to terms with my recovery. Little things count and as long as I’ve tried my best I can at least say that I’ve tried. I still have some hope with the store because my boss allows me to work three 4 hour shifts per week but coupled with school even part-time I still think its a lot to handle. I’ll just put everything I can into my main goals now which is finishing up my last 3 semesters and trying to live independently.

I imagine your experience with mental illness would be valuable to you for that job. There are things you could understand that others might not.

It’s all about priorities! Like you said, little things count, and if you feel it’s too much coupling work with school right now don’t take it as a defeat
