Just a gen update and I need some advice guys.. I really don't know what to do

Ok so… its been a year since I had my episodes and although my pdoc tells me that I’ll never be off medication I don’t even believe at this point I have schizophrenia. I went from December to April without my shot and was completely fine. No issues… Nothing. But besides that… I’ve been dependent since 2017 and without a job and the thought of getting one gives me anxiety. I just don’t think I can handle it mentally. I don’t work well under pressure, I don’t handle stress well… and I really don’t want to deal with messy and dramatic coworkers and I don’t want to work with the general public. What should I do?

Remote work? Something online. If you are good with numbers you can be an online accountant, for starters.

I have plenty of time BC my mom doesn’t pressure me about work or anything and I’m only 21 so no rush but just for future purposes

You should rush. I wasted my parents good graces playing tons of video games in my 20s. I wish I were business minded instead!

Earned leisure is so much more enjoyable.

Well my mama knows I went through a lot and I’m very young so there’s no rush. If there was a rush she would tell me

I have a hard time believing im schizophrenic too. Keep in mind 30-50% of schizophrenics fail to realize they have an illness, be someone that your doctors and nurses can refer to as being one with insight.

Also i went off meds a couple times and was alright with positive symptoms, but my level of functioning was very poor. From what i gather medication (meaning the right AP for long enough) can help you with the problems your facing regarding stress.
