Not sure if this is a good definition of functioning but based on it, low. I hardly see anyone and many fortnights I only go out to have my depot.
When I move my stepdaughter has said she and/or my granddaughters will see me every day or every other day . However it would be them seeing me rather than my going to see them so I’m not sure how that affects the low-medium-high functioning thing .
I put high because I work 4 days a week and see people at work. However, I don’t really have a social life anymore since I quit drinking and doing drugs. I’m still recovering from that so I am comfortable with not being social at this time.
Mm, I put low…
Despite never being social or having many friends throughout my life, I used to be pretty intelligent. I maintained a 4.0 all throughout high school. School seemed like a joke to me. Now I’m lucky if I can remember how to work the freaking washing machine.
The last psychotic episode I had rendered me entirely incapacitated and I had no choice but to resign from my part-time job. It was only a matter of time, I think… I lasted over a year there so I’m kind of proud of that. I’m pretty much unable to work though.
I work most days, on my own, so alone 99% of the time, other than some chat on computer I don’t talk to anyone.
I have good times and bad times, some days I wonder why I bother at all, other days planning a future, it is a endless battle that I’m losing, some how I keep going though
I am married and have 3 kids. I don’t leave the house very much and i only have online friends. I cant handle the anxiety and paranoia i get when i go out so going out alone is near impossible. I wish i could do more but my schizophrenia just makes it impossible.
My functioning is low-medium. I don’t leave my house much, besides work, and that’s only because I have to. My job is very slow and I still can’t handle being at work most days, even when I’m just sitting here doing nothing and ignoring my job duties.
