Because iām dying right now, slow and painful.
I was cast into a supernatural torture fest for eighteen years, complete with forced drugging and abuses of all kinds, and many physical sicknesses as well coming from these many things.
My mind began to bleed over into the overlapping dimension in front of us all of the time as well, that ā ā ā ā was ā ā ā ā ā ā ā scary because of what you see there.
Every chakra is just ash now, burnt and gone, my central nervous system is eroded from the terrors and agony.
But one thing i can be very thankful for is i donāt have a woman.

Because I am going to school and because my delusion is so overpowering. I really struggle to concentrate. It is just the nature of my illness. My meds have kept me form having a psychotic break but I still struggle with energy, motivation and focus. I am hoping by the time I finish school, I will be prepared to get a FT job and be able to work with energy, motivation and focus.

I want to delete what I just said.
I get symptomatic under the stress of a job, and I have poor judgement due to my sza illness that gets me fired from jobs every time. I also suffer from frequent migraines, over 15 headaches per month, that precludes me from working.

Your job is to look for job. 
I am not from the US, but in the past few years, jobs with flexible hours are opening for application in my country.
Speaking from my personal experience, I met at least two employers who do not need my resume and interview right away. You know, resume with employment gaps is hardly presentable.

I am not able to work as software developer anymore. The requirement is so high. They expect you to code in both Android and iOS as well as backend PHP. And yet, the salary is so low.
I am more than happy to work as either dispatch boy or office clerk.

I spent 10 years in the workforce trying to make it. My illness kept preventing from holding jobs. I would rather work but I kept getting fired. I wasnāt getting enough sleep and I was putting peoples lives at risk on the road. I would wake up late and be in a rush while extremely groggy from the meds. I kept getting accused by my employers of being on street drugs. The stress of trying to lead a normal life was causing my illness to flare up. I hid my illness from my employers the best I could. My employers would say why canāt you do this or that? I was fired for telling one of my employers I had schizophrenia. They literally freaked out and thought I was some kind of serial killer or something. I worker there for 3 years without incident but once they found out I had schizophrenia I was fired within two weeks. At another job I was so stressed out I started hearing voices and walked off the job. I didnāt want to apply for disability it took 6 months after I quit working to finally do it. Also getting my medication in between jobs was difficult. My doctor was giving me free samples but since my medication went generic he canāt do that anymore. If I go back to work and I canāt get my medication Iām going to end up in the hospital again and right back where I started. I would jump off a bridge before I go through another psychosis. My medication is my no 1 priority in life. Itās more important then money to me.

I work part-time in a library. I donāt want to work any more than I already do. I can barely manage 30 hours a week. But Iām grateful my job is quiet and not too demanding.

Vocational Rehabilitation so I guess this is what you need to Google from what I understand they are a State funded organization, I called them once and they asked if I was disabled I told them no but explained how I was fighting the stigma and had to explain why I wasnāt working . They suggested I come in but I never did.
Why am I not dancing rock n roll anymore n why did I stopā¦
Why avoid going out and meeting people etcā¦
I feel attacked by people and my brain functioning is not what it was.
I have symptoms and am afraid of psychosis.
I isolate but can be with my bf but canāt be with his friends n parents really but endure it n draw away to crewchetting.
I am proud I do dishes, clean, care for us n our home n dogs etc
My speech n vocabulary seems more poor than it once was and I have difficulties with different things and memory and go mute and have symptoms etc
I believe I work with my eons n spirit n have made beyond billions even n done good n great things but they donāt appreciate me these people that seem to be nazi like extremists only seeing visible work that the body n person does.
They are aweful to me n so disrespectful n thereās so many of them.
They hate people who donāt work.
Things are not as they seem.
Whoās eons is a worker wearing and yada yadaā¦

Thereās so much to who one is.
Iām nice n peaceful n my whole life turned other cheek but get disrespected for it n feel it may be time I stand up for myself n say there behaviour is not acceptable.
I have not had many jobs and my record is one year and that was only few hours s week.
I have certificate in aged care but canāt work with it cause my social difficulties etc

I guess Iām in this group? I can sort of fit in, but I feel like a square peg being hammered into a round hole.

Thatās a good way to phrase it. I can totally relate.
Some people tend to say ābut youāre so normalā when I tell them Iām sickā¦ Iām anything but normal, Iām just trying real hard to hide my symptoms most of the time.
btw I donāt work, because I donāt have any education nor work experience that would allow me to get a job, I donāt have an education because I keep failing at keeping up with homework and/or getting sick from the stress.

Thereās things you could do , Iāve worked just picking up trash thereās better things out there but, I didnāt mind got some excesize a little small talk with the residents listened to my headset enjoyed the weather most days. They used to pay someone to set at our club house and just make sure everyone signs in. My son mows lawns heās 16. If you donāt have to work thereās volunteer work thatās more fulfilling. Walmart pays greeters but that might not be a sz job.
I think some get off meds and probably donāt consider themselves sz anymore so probably wonāt post here.
Im one of those who feel ive recovered, but I still take meds.
But I think 34 percent working is good itās amazing they even came up with meds that work for this madness.
it happens
