Who here currently has a job? Yes and No replies

yes self employed.
take care

No. I’ve been on disability sicne around 2001. I wouldn’t mind doing something, but it’s hard when you have to risk your disability to try it out.

There are rules that allow you work a certain amount of hours and keep your SSDI.

Justt all the paperwork i would have to change or go through with disability, housing , food stamps seems daunting to me. Just to work fast food, which is all i could prolly get. It’s not even worth the try.

No…haven’t really worked since 09 I think.

Haven’t worked in about 4 years.

I haven’t worked since 2010.

I had a high stress job and worked for many years - I could no longer work, because of my different symptoms and my illness - I now do not work

I have a job now and I think you read my post on how I’m struggling with it, I had a previous one I lasted in for two weeks before I quit, because I had to stay most of the time alone, and it wasn’t good at all for my psychosis since it happens at times where I’m alone…Maybe you can figure out what is the most comfortable situation for you at work, and how would you prefer your work environment to be, if you had that choice then you wont have a problem in working like any normal person, that’s what I think, it worked for me when I had the choice, maybe it can work for you too…Good luck

No, Im not working…I haven’t worked since 1997.

Not working since 1999 but I do some caregiving for my elderly family members.

Just left a full time job after 7 days… too much to handle. Have been employed at least once every year since dz in 2001.

I haven’t worked since January 2010. I lost my job after developing symptoms, my father in law wants me to get a job and bring in more income other than my SSI. I’m afraid i can’t work, i still have so many problems on top of trying to recover from sza.

Why? You tracing us?

No I’m not working, I’m retired.

Working at a fast food joint seems harder than stocking shelves at a department store. Department stores are often hiring.
