Hey everyone. I’m thinking about returning long to work. I have some apprehension though. When I checked up on a store last week I got kind of uppity minority psychotic. I wonder however if my schizophrenia would manifest itself as soulless ness as I have that idea in my head. I otherwise don’t want to get in to any fights at work or other behavioral problems. Otherwise disability has been a real blessing so I may just continue that.
I’m considering going back to work too, at least part time (12-20 hours a week). I’m also in disability but it would be nice to have a little financial security.
I’m worried that the added stress could trigger symptoms, but it can’t be any more stressful than the stress of constantly worrying about bills
I like to keep good hours. Awake in the day and asleep at night. I work at my art. Playing guitar and mandolin and writing. Keeps my demons from trying to kill me. I also cook simple meals and clean some and go to the supermarket and take walks. Sounds nice, but I suffer a lot because of the amount of time I’m not working. I hope to start writing more.
I’ve worked as a janitor at the same location for the past ten years. I’ve worked by myself the majority of the time the past 5 years so I don’t have to deal with a lot of people. I am also allowed to work at my own pace as long as I get the main tasks done before I leave. I get paid good and have paid vacation and paid sick leave. I also get to take my lunch alone in my car listening to the radio.
