Ive worked five jobs and quit all of them due to stress and anxiety. You’d think that’s plenty of valid proof that I can’t work but my parents still think I should. What say ye?

Schizophrenia processes stress differently. It’s normal to breakdown even when things don’t seem all that stressful. It’s a mystery but only those affected by it understand imo - your parents aren’t understanding enough of the illness sadly

If you’re considered disabled, you can tell them there’s a paper that prove your inability to work so they can’t say anything
You can even ask your therapist to talk to them

I’m in the universal credit limited capability for work group. Sometimes I look at the job adverts but don’t generally bother with it.

tell your parents you have trouble with concentration and sz is a good reason to have disability granted on the first attempt so why isn’t it good enough of an answer to them?

It’s worth applying cus you can get paid it in work. Their making it harder for people with MH problems to qualify though. Yes I claim PIP.

Everyone at work puts on a phoney guise under the pretenses of professionalism thus being a liar telling lies to outgroups. Putting on a fake persona to survive telling partial truths as a company blind obedience officer. Adopting company culture as ones religion to instill survival. Who wouldn’t tell a lie to survive? Better yet, recruit someone too stupid to know they regurgitate half truths to the unknowledgeable public. Everyone exploits everyone for survival while giving themselves a pat on the back like they’re a good old boy. A system of rewards that wires the brain to gain pleasure from the misfortune of others seeking your services thus rendering you a paycheck. A lot of pride in work.

How will your life be if you can’t work? What in life do you have to benefit from work? It can work out both ways. It’s reasonable for you to have dignity regardless. Only you know what you are dealing with.
What kind of jobs have you worked? Is there anything out there that you think you could handle? Working with schizophrenia is tricky but it can be done, you just have to find the right kind of work. For me personally the work has to be somewhat solitary, i have social anxiety so being around people slowly gets me closer and closer to my stress threshold. Also, and this is kind of hard to find in the kind of stuff your going to see on indeed, but work that rewards you incrementally like delivery where your seeing tips every 30 minutes. It’s definitely a bit of a boost to see the fruits of your labor pretty much immediately.
