Part time though
I can not work being so paranoid sensitive and fearful of people.plus my ocd would make me way too inefficient with my time…
It would most likely have to be a job that is on my own pace…
I play wit the animals. Does that count?
Do you get paid to do that?
Haha
Sounds laid back
No, I volunteer on a farm that helps rehabilitate troubled youth
Well that counts
I think that’s really cool
Where do you work and why couldn’t you work more?
Are all your symptoms managed with medication?
What medications do you take?
I work at Starbucks. Abilify was managing my symptoms but I’m not on it right now. Long story. But yeah it worked well.
If I work more than 20 hours or so my mental health gets real bad. Had this happen recently
I could not work when I was on Haldol. Now I can work and I’m on Geodon
Worked in human services kind of field in high level occupation. I am able to use occupational therapy kinds of techniques on myself to work to recovery.
Can’t even volunteer. So different now.
I can’t answer because I don’t know yet. I’m looking for work now and once I find a job we’ll see if I can do it or not.
I answered I couldn’t , because I’ve never had a job . To be fair though other factors may be far more relevant re that than any effect of an antipsychotic . Such as severe social anxiety ,lack of initiative, executive functioning difficulties , dyspraxia, Asperger’s , etc etc .
I cannot work for many, many reasons. Both psychological and physical.
It ain’t easy but I do it
I can and do work, but it’s not easy at all.
I make myself sick a lot from the stress. It’s worth it though because I value what i am doing and enjoy the actual work.
My problem is dealing with other people
My issues are depression and anxiety — happens frequently but is yet un predictable … I just can’t do it some days, and even doing my absolute best there is still days in my bed all day
I’m hoping PSR will change this…
Million times easier than without
I don’t find work easy with just had to not vote against
can’t work with akathisia. i dont see how anyone can.
