I work full time, but it’s for myself, if I worked for someone I would probably get fired.

Were not all born equal and there is a wide range of how mental illness effects each one of us.

why is hong kong a harsh place to live? I work full time but I have FMLA to protect my job if I have episodes and need to leave work or doctor appointments.

We don’t have protection like that. Our government protects the big business man but not the employee. Over the years we have many move that cut employee benefits. Our terms of employment are very mean. @johnny5

I can’t work. Every time I try to work a job, I get fired. I even get fired from volunteer jobs most of the time. I just can’t hold down a paid job anymore. Even when I was much younger, it was very difficult. I got fired from many jobs.

Now, I’m old enough that I just consider myself retired. And I now work an extremely easy volunteer job where all I have to do is go around and visit people, at my leisure, in the assisted living facility where I live. And I report on these visits to my volunteer coordinator. I’ve been doing this for the last year.

I do data entry basically it’s setting up email accounts and giving access to drives. It’s not that hard and it’s quite repetitive.
