I’m not sure what I am going to do with myself now that I can no longer work- work was such a big part of my identity and a social outlet too. I hope I can stay with my partner and contribute in other ways. I’d like to have a happy simple life.

I plan to stay in my room and mess around on my computer and watch tv. Also, I’m hoping to read some Shakespeare and do some writing.

It depends on how things evolve. Maybe I’m able to work in a couple of years or maybe not. We’ll see.

Going to take the middle path down the road and not been to anxious and full of myself. Spend it getting closer to the things that are important to me, and doing less of the things that are not.
Going to try within my means to live each day without much regret and try to be happy. And if it works out…spoil grandkids.

I’m trying to figure it out. I would like to work, but I’m not as capable as I was before psychosis. I’m also incredibly attached to my dogs, and bc my voices always threaten to steal or kill them, I never want to leave them for long periods of time. I’d have to get a menial job, getting paid a fourth of what I was making before, which isn’t appealing at all.

I think even if I get some menial job, I’ll eventually be put in a ward, and have to get on disability regardless. I’m considering skipping ahead and just going on disability sooner than later. I don’t know, though.

I hope I get to camp and hike more, regardless, and can find someone to share life with.

yes, this is how i worked before illness onset. At this point I’m unwilling to take the chance in working as there is nobody to bail me out of shitty positions anymore. My parents are too old and my sister wouldn’t know WTF to do with me in such a state.

I just got on the ‘instacart’ waitlist for my area this morning. It’s kind of a break even job, but you only work when you want to work & I need something to do.

Yes, that’s another aspect I’m considering. I’m currently unemployed, living with my aunt, and things are rough financially. Even though I do chores and things, I know it’s not enough.

Also, I do not want or need my father’s involvement. If I don’t do all of this myself, I think there’s a greater chance he would eventually become involved, and that would make me destructive.

I’m going to! Life long dream and I’ll never give up on it! Slowly been learning Russian for a few years. I’ll be in Siberia talking to the locals, thinking in my head wow, even with SZ I’m living this dream. I’ll be posting about it some day in the near future :slight_smile:

I am going to live alone in my apartment enjoying my solitude until I die.

I don’t enjoy being alone. I need friends if I’m going to survive. I ordered a book the other day I’m super excited about, not a book of words, but about designs for drawing. I’m tired of reading, I can’t do it even just for the hell of it. My goal in life was to become a scholar and from what I learned it is not fulfilling. Today I want to shower and get into some clean clothes and go to the organic market to look for ginsing. My pdoc says I have to get volunteer work. Oh, and if course my :guitar:.
