Do you socialise well in this job?
I worked til 42. Hospitalized a lot through out my life, sometimes for months, some places accommodated me, others fired me. but I worked as long as I could.
I am never working again.

Ive had a fair few jobs. Not many lasted very long. Stress and anxiety is a big factor in stopping me from keeping a job. Social anxiety is the main factor in preventing me from starting new work.

Iāve made Ā£2.36 so far, its not a well paid job lol
I used to work full time on 80mg Latuda but had positive symptoms it was mental torture. Also had akathisia and nausea from the pill sometimes vomitted the pill. Now on 6mg risperidone my negative symptoms are worse so canāt work but no positive symptoms
Iām now a pensioner. Did a little bit of voluntary /unpaid work but never had a paid job . Biggest hurdles I was unable to jump over were severe social anxiety, and non bizarre paranoia stemming from bullying related trauma. Aside from that fell between two stools . Much more brain than brawn but not up to coping stress wise with a high pressure, white collar, job.
Totally lacked the manual & practical skills to be even an adequate skilled tradesman, or work well in a factory. Didnāt have the necessary qualifications to be a researcher. A job I wouldāve quite liked. I used to self stigmatise big time over not having a job. Could understand why threads like this are created, but they always had a negative effect on me.

I have schizoaffective disorder, and I work full-time.
Iām one of the very fortunate ones for whom positive symptoms are very well treated by APs, especially the years Iāve been on aripiprazole, be it tablets or injections.
I still deal with negatives, pills donāt do 
for those, but when it comes to working I usually can push myself through.
Iām a manager, at a cannabis dispensary of all places lol 
.
It wears on me hard, gets stressful af sometimes. Three times a year I take a one-week break from work, go on a trip to get away for a few days, even if itās just a little road trip.

Iāve had a few jobs since being on social security. I stocked shelves, cleaned hotel rooms, and washed dishes. The longest I lasted was a month. Iām good working for a few hours but eventually it becomes to much. I start hallucinating and canāt function. I cocked at my moms for two hours the other night and had to stop. When I washed dishes after a double shift I thought I was going to get pulled over how bad my functioning got. Now I mow and clean my dads office and help my family with odd jobs.

Do you struggle cognitives or are lucky enough to not be affected
I have difficulty with concentration, but thatās the main cognitive symptom Iām aware of. Iāll be honest, idk a lot about cognitive symptoms, what is or is not considered to be one. Iāve heard of poverty of thought, but thatās not an issue for me.

Stress. Live a low stressed lifestyle on disability and itās good. Did volunteer work for 18 years to keep me going so now Iām retired and living large.
I get stressed I get paranoid. I get paranoid I function poorly. I have moved sideways and live a great life. I do what I want for myself although things like dating and relationships with the opposite sex Iāve let go of years ago but that isnāt a deal breaker.
