One of the main reasons I want to find a job is to give me something to do. I get so bored here at home and I think it adds to my depression negatively. Anyone feel the same?

Good for you @TomCat what job do you have?
I work for the government. I collect taxes. It is kind of complicated but I am learning. Lots of paperwork.

The pay is ok. If I make it through the first year I get a nice little raise. Looking forward to it actually.

Absolutely. A job gives you purpose which according to the schizophrenia society is one of four things required for recovery.

I wish I could work or volunteer. The agoraphobia and my inconsistency keeps me from it. I hope you can do this! It would be so rewarding.

I was off work for about six years. I recently got a job about a month ago that a really like. It’s only two days a week so I can stay on disability. But it’s something to do.

My volunteer job does wonders for making me less bored. I go for four hour shifts twice a week and I look forward to it. I’m hoping to find a full-time job soon. I have WAY too much time on my hands now that I am not sleeping for 14-16 hours a day on a mega-dose of Haldol! Now I read up to 12-14 hours a day!
