Apparently it’s too cold out for riding motorcycles today. We have a Harley dealer in town and I live right off of the strip and they come from all over tearing ass up and down the street with their loud pipes.
Should be nice and quiet for until spring 2021.
I’m having some overwhelming negative urges today. Nothing life-threatening, but harmful enough that it worries me.
It kills me that even after 10 years of not acting on those urges, they get so bad some days I can barely function.
Just dipped a tortilla chip in pasta salad…
…That’s how my day’s going.
My x lives on the pension but he has a perfect home and perfect dogs and great looks and personality.
I have had other x that had no job and no proper home etc
Ones that were bad men too.
My last x is a bad man but I love him anyway.
The x before that is the best man I ever met and know.
Maybe it’s easier to get a boyfriend/girlfriend if you have a job or lots of wealth but you can still get one with out that.
I am on the pension and I’m on a dating site.
I have had interests but majority live too far away and are not compatible.
I will be patient.see how I go.
Sometimes when I’m in need of a laugh I think about the time someone asked me if my tagline was “some sort of gay-lesbian lingo”
Woke up .around 3 am.
Feeling so awake I decided to have a cup of tea and browse the forum.
I had vegan hazelnut and chocolate cake yesterday.was nice.my sister bought it for me.
I’m so happy she is pregnant now.
Look forward to being a auntie and holding the little one.
I’m scared they won’t let me baby sit because of schizophrenia and stigma.
I don’t think they will let me.
Praying it will be happy healthy n well n birth go well.
I hope to meet someone I can go on Bush walks with.
I’m to scared to go by myself.
Scared of getting lost or injured or raped or something.
Finished watching Orange is the new black.
That is definitely one of my top favourites if not the favourite series I’ve ever seen.omg I love it.
Hey everyone, I hope y’all are well. I’m a bit bored, nothing to do. The Lions play later, but until then I have nothing going on.
Good ole Christian Bale!! I’ve heard he’s not a nice person but don’t believe everything you hear.
Hey good afternoon guys.
Hope you are all having a good day…
Sunny Sunday
Tbh I plan on still talking to women in the apartment building I’ll go to but filling them in on my plans to work freelance.
Assuming the internet gets better here and I can continue with my training that should go fine.
It will help if I get my stimulus money on time to get a new computer for my work.
I have to go check the animals’ water. Which means I have to get out of bed. Which means I’m gonna hurt my back. Poor me. I’m such baby today. I have to say to myself “Suck it up princess!”
Are you in the US? I don’t know if we will get anymore stimulus money. At least not anytime soon.
@Truemist8 I think I really believe you are accepting like that but most aren’t.
Women-would you date a guy that doesn't work?
I don’t think responders were trying to be mean.
I’m also not sure if they got that volunteer work isn’t always easy to come by. Tried applying that way in the past without so much as a “thanks but no thanks.”
But I believe I found a way around the b.s. discrimination.
What people like or don’t like I guess doesn’t need to or perhaps couldn’t be sensitive to anyone’s personal feelings, past or present.
For their part, mostly they were just being honest.
Can’t stand “Why don’t you have a job, everyone knows schizos get a fair shot?”
That’s a game.
A lot of normal people don’t know how bad it is.
85% unemployment= obvious discrimination.
NAAMI agrees.
Psychiatric hospitilisation
"You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to an attorney. If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be provided for you. Do you understand the rights I have just read to you? With these rights in mind, do you wish to speak to me?”*
I woudn’t call it discrimination.
If you have psychotic symptoms, you’re a liability and potentially more likely to have sick days.
Lots of people with schizophrenia have poor hygiene and/or lack interpersonal skills, which isn’t really an attractive feat to an employer.
I would date a person who didn’t have a job, if the reason they didn’t have a job was that they couldn’t get one that fit their level of ability to work without stressing them too much.
If their reason was “negatives make me stay in bed for 22hrs a day” I would most likely brand them as lazy and not recovery-oriented.
If the person I’d be dating didn’t have a job, I’d expect them to contribute in other ways. If we shared a dwelling, I’d want them to do the majority of the housework. And I’d expect them to do what they could to get social welfare at least, so they’d have an income of sorts and I wouldn’t have to support us both.
@Miika
How do they know who is or isn’t a liability though?
I’m good about my hygiene to the point of not just showering/ brushing teeth normally, but I keep well groomed facial hair.
That’s what makes it discrimination.
Your response is more accepting than many.
I think most employers think ‘liability’ as soon as they hear mention of mental illness tbh.
I never disclose my sz unless I’m forced to.
I can only say, “That’s true.” As well as “That’s smart”
I feel the first thing is unfair on their part and harmful to society.
