I am on 50mg Zoloft and will be increased in about two weeks depending on whether it helps or not. But I still feel frightened to go back… today I started looking for jobs again and applied for some even though I should be focusing on feeling better, instead I am looking for jobs so I don’t have to go back to the old job. Also as my company has decided to shut down I am hoping they kick me out…

I got back after a hospital and tried working full time. I got exhausted and couldnt do anything else than sleep or work. I have moved to work part time which is great

I’m terrified too.
Any job that has social interaction puts me into a panic attack and eventually psychosis 
I hate not working and feeling like a failure though

I would love to but don’t have skills to go self employed however I applied for a peer support role so I hope somrhing comes of that… maybe the place will feel more welcoming cos they practically want someone with an illness

good luck! I hope you find a new job that is better for you.
I am working full time now in a job that I don’t want to be in, and I haven’t had luck finding other jobs that I can do and that would allow me to sustain myself financially. I am still applying though. But Catch22 I completely get the feeling like a failure thing. Even though I’m doing my best to work and find a better job, I always compare myself to other people I went to school with who seem to be so successful. But I just try to remind myself they don’t have the same challenges.
