I’ve done it for 3 1/2 years, and it feels stressful. I can’t even think properly recently. I’ve thought 1000 times about quitting, and I think it’s about time. It’s a wonder how most people can go along with a job full time. It might be a bad idea to stay at home every day, but that’s exactly what I want to do. Then I’ll get some exercise.
I’ve been schizophrenia for 17 years, and I have to remind myself that working was what triggered the illness. Some people are OK with working, while others struggle. Maybe it’s just work ethic. I don’t have any work ethic, maybe. I feel painful commuting to the office and sitting in the office. The noise in my office makes it difficult to concentrate, making my brain feel very cluttered.
I’m now only concerned about where I would gain money to keep on living. Of course, you can’t get money without working. It would be ideal to do work at home, even if that means less money. I’m thinking about finding and attending a session about remote work for the handicapped if there is one. I’m thinking of moving forward.
3 1/2 years is really good for someone with schiz. I’d say keep it until you find a work from home job.
I’m going through the same problem, I don’t know if I want to work with schizophrenia because it’s unbearable.
Commuting to work is miserable, I’m glad I don’t have to do that and I live pretty nearby, 25 minutes walk.
Yeah working having schizophrenia is a tough one… hearing voices makes it feel like it’s impossible. But hang in there bud… I wished I did. I wished I didn’t flake out on jobs and kept at it.
Do you have benefits or welfare in your country? It’s an option many schizophrenics take.
Thank you. Yeah, I think I’ll think about the remote job seriously…
It seems unbearable to people without schizophrenia, and for people with schizophrenia, I think it’s worse. Though there are people around me with schizophrenia who are working. But for me, it’s realy difficult.
It’s hard to have a positive symptom and keep on working. I think I’ll regret it if I quit, definitely. It’s really hard to make a choice.
Yes, we receive welfare in Japan. It’s enough if I can keep on living with my parents forever, but it’s not enough to live alone. It’s really making me wonder what I should do after I leave this house.
I couldn’t keep a job. And second before last psych ward they released me to go work again but they send me to the work doctor to get me checked out first and he said i couldn’t go work anymore, needed to see pdoc first. So I started seeing pdoc then and i noticed how much problems i had that i didn’t want to aknowledge before. Eventually I got fired from the job and get put on disability.
