I’ve noticed that recently since I got sick about five years ago I’ve had a lot jobs. I’ve stayed at two jobs for a year, but I had a bunch of other jobs that I would at stay at for a week or two or a couple months. I also noticed that my boss in certain positions will stare at me. At least I think they are. I also feel like they try to make me leave or prove that I’m doing bad so they can let me go or I’ll leave. Does anyone else go through this?

Yes just one job after another
My last boss told me that he had talked to a couple other people and that my performance went down for the last 4 months
Even said to me that I act like a zombie when I come to work. I quit the very next day
I knew at that point I was in psychosis and
I applied for ssdi this month and have no idea what that will bringi

Yeah I can’t get hired for a job. Even the simple task seem to hard to do. I’m lucky I have to work for the government as a jet engine mechanic for 20 plus years and get s small disability check.

I get paranoid. I space out. I dissociate. And then I quit. Over and over. I’ve had lots of jobs. Now I’m on disability

I’ll be working and hear “hey kill yourself. Kill yourself. Kill yourself. Why don’t you kill yourself? You should kill yourself.” I don’t think I can work anymore. Not unless the voices go away.

I’ve never held a job longer than 3 and a half years and I usually get fired from jobs.

I usually get fired from jobs too. Or I’ll quit, because I get really paranoid thinking my manager doesn’t like me.
I kinda gave up on a job for years. I hated dishwashing and cooking. I had crappy jobs. It’s been 5 years since I worked. Before disability I had no choice but to work I hated it so much. In 10 years I had 2 jobs. 7 months working
I wish I had the power level to get through the crappy jobs to see daylight with an actual decent job, I just can’t stick to it long enough. It’s too hard.

I haven’t attempted to work paid for a good eight years
Early on I kept entering temp jobs where I’d get paranoid and end up running home
Now I’ve lost confidence and I have lots anxiety so no point in me trying to get paid work although I’m hopeful that one day I can manage a part time job

I’ve never had a problem keeping jobs. Getting them on the other hand…
And don’t get me started on how many educations I’ve had to quit halfway through

I have lucked out and got a job that has a fair amount of down time.
My biggest issue is getting to work on time. I have a hard time getting out of bed and today was 13 minutes late although I never see my boss coming in so I just work over that 13 extra minutes.
I try hard to get in on time but as long as I don’t get in trouble coming in late I have nothing else to worry about with my job.
The longest job I ever had was two whole years. That was when I was still in school. I was sick but didn’t realize it yet. I had been diagnosed with depression at that point, but I really needed lamotrigine for the mood swings. I felt aggressive. Anyhow, when I had a job, I consistently missed days. I am definitely not reliable. I would say I only showed up about 70% of the time.
