I feel like killing myself, this stuff never ends. everytime i get a new job, start therapy and try to do better,
i end up psychotic, quitting therapy and the idea of becoming better. Im sad and really dissapoited in myself

Maybe it is too soon for you to get back to work. It’s also not healthy to keep relapsing. Maybe you need some stability and an add on AD?

Some thoughts. Do you already have a game plan for the (near) future?

I don’t know the policies in your country, but in my opinion you definitely qualify. You’ve tried your hardest and can’t work. I got disability after my 2nd relapse.

Good luck with the disability process!

i try more then 10 jobs, i should qualify.

Thank you

When you have a choice go on disability. I worked on disability for awhile, but these days i can’t work anymore. I got limits.

Sounds like a good idea man. I refused disability for a long time but it is a really nice help to have. Money isn’t everything but it can make life a little easier.

I finally got it after 15 years with the disease. I think I tried too hard to keep working as normal after the disease, but it just didn’t work out. I’m too slow in the morning because of AP, and also have trouble sleeping sometimes, also because of AP. I got partial disability though. I think I’m able to work at about 30-50% capacity.

I quit my last job in the midst of psychosis too. I dont regret it , as it was causing me a lot of stress. I have tried 20 jobs … at some point I might have to quit but that’s not now.

I hope things improve for you @littlecrocodal.

:hugs:

Yes @littlecrocodal, going on disability might be the answer for you

Best of luck to you

Sorry you’re feeling this way, don’t be too hard on yourself. I hope you will be able to get disability. I think you should try to stick with therapy too.

Hope things work out for you.

I hope you can get disability. It has saved me. Ive been fired or had to quit 5 different jobs now. Luckily they were dummy jobs that anyone can qualify for. Disability allows me to pay my bills.
