Hey, still fairly new… before my illness I used to be a bit of a popular outcast… now I’m just outcast… don’t know where I fit in, in all of this… do you guys have a say in this, have you been in a similar situation.
I’ve worked 15 years up to now and am thinking of becoming a support worker cause the same issues reside with me in my current trade…
Feeling quite lost… do you just go back to the person you were, for me it’s not working!
It’s about meds and function. If your not the same that is understandable and psychosis really is serious. Sz really is serious but we tend to hit the higher end of function around here.
It’s hard. I struggled with shitty jobs all through my life because I was on the path to szness. I ended up on disability and that was a good option for me because I went into volunteering and live with family. That isn’t always the option but getting rid of the pressures and stress of working really helps. Honestly. If you can do it you can always go back to work and just pass off the time off. It’s worthwhile exploriing.
I live a good, realised life and stress really is the big thing for sz and it’s likes. Stress makes symptoms worse. Symptoms make function worse. Work becomes worse…Mind you there’s those who survive but it’s worth a look.
Yeah to each their own, right?
It’s hard work. It really is.
I was always aggressive with med changes in my treatment. Worked great and worth the effort sometimes but so bad and terrible in others. Wasted years but it’s part of the process.
It’s all about minimising that stress in my world. I get stressed I get paranoid. I get paranoid I go south rather quickly and I do better than most.
It’s a journey. It really is.
