Ive been out of work for 2 months now since my diagnosis and I honestly am so scared to go back. Im a Sales Consultant for a Dealership and the changes ive had these past 2 months and with being on medications Im not the same person I was before. Im just having a hard time accepting my new reality and im scared that I am not going to be able to handle doing Sales anymore. Ive worked my a** off to become successful and i feel it slipping away. any advice or kind words would be appreciated.

I was a consumer electronics sales person, for me it didn’t work out. Once I was onto the depot I could no longer get to work on time and stay awake for work. Sales is quite energy draining and these meds are too. Which medication are you on?
Thats what im worried about because they are very strict about hours and I have to always be up and moving cars around and handling customer information as well as having to communicate with customers so ive just been overthinking too much about what could go wrong but I guess I wont really know until I actually go back. I just got switched to Bupropion, Clonidine, Risperidone, and Olanzapine and its been hard

Do you know somebody who is become helth after years of treatment and do not take meds anymore, how much years that person has schisophrenia until stopping the treatment.
Im doing inside sales account management for a service company. I mostly do renewal contracts and some new ones as they pop up. Very little prospecting. Its for a small business, the workload isnt too much and im not watched so i just get my work done.
Id love to do a higher level job but this one allows me to work on my good and my bad days.
So dont give up, maybe you find another area of sales that works for you.
