I always pushed and forced myself to work… my worth depended on it personally… now I am without a job and I won’t take any job anymore because I need to think of my health… My partner says I judge myself to harshly and its best to wait for the right job than get into stressful situations again causing a flair up

Allow some time to heal @anon25873142
You just suffered a psychotic break.

Relax a bit, take a vacation, smell the roses.

Then think about working.

I get a little insecure about not being able to contribute but I focus on my health for now.

I agree with this. Your health is very important. Take care of yourself.

I hear you Ish, i do what i can but it is no help if we do too much, we all have limitations, you need to be 100% that you can do something before you do it, sometimes it is good to cut back and do less, having time to breathe after a period of illness should help as well.

I am loooking for work… but I am just looking for the right opportunity rather than accepting anything for the sake of it or just because I am fed up of not finding anything.

look after yourself first before getting a job again… It’s hard dealing with MI and a job at the same time i think.
