I’m thinking about getting a job. I’m not sure I’m ready because I still have lots of bad day when I can’t function. I need some money tho… and to get out of the house.

It is a good way to find out if you are capable of working without endangering your benefits. It is how I started out.

Same here but I have a 2 month long recovery for my defibrillator surgery then I’m job searching I have zero reason to be on disability in my most honest opinion
From what I remember you posting I thought you had problems with mood or something like that?
Yeah sort of my therapist thinks I can work so does my doctor I’m on disability and yeah I have been diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder bipolar type I think my most common symptom is psychosis and depression I haven’t been manic since 2020 and then I was put on haldol which saved me
