Do any of you work? Im sick with affective schizophrenia Im on disability I have a hard time with coworkers I have tried to work my entire life but it always fails I will try to explain how it has failed in different ways if someone wants to talk about it and has their story etc…
I walk around head to the ground now, a defeated man people are really cruel and behave like ■■■■ a lot of the time even now when Im defeated. My workpsychologist said im ■■■■■■ when she heard me talking about the things im experiencing but i cant help feeling like ■■■■ cant i like i dont know maybe work 25% or 50% i do have some issues that is like im very active in my head and im stressed and have trouble with my life but like doing some maybe take a course in programming and just doing a website or something and voila i got some more money…
Feels like a lot of people are upset when they hear im not working atm i am seeing a shrink to work on my life talking about hearing voices and such we are really just starting im at the start of my life after the psychosis broke out and I feel liie people are such losers that wants to sit at home and collect disability I feel like ■■■■ you are born to this planet to get kids and get a job that you make some serious cash from become someone great and wise and the best in everything and people are like ■■■■ I wanna sit st home and wanna watch sitcoms all day. They are losers because sitting at home without anything not getting good food not traveling experiencing like ■■■■ why was I born.
But enough about the negative. I would like to know affective schizos are u working and do your employers know? Are u afraid of everyone outside? Etc. Tell me about your lives
I am diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia, not schizo affective. I work-full time and have for decades. Some days are better than others, but I pull though. I have ongoing positive symptoms, but I also have good insight and just ignore them as the noise they are.
I was working until two days ago I quit my job over pay. I have been rebuilding my former business since I completed my studies just over a year ago. However, since yesterday I am considering becoming a college lecturer and have made enquiries about doing teacher training. However, as I write in another post… I have been in the residual stage of schizophrenia for two years but as we speak have really bad negative symptoms. My concern is, if I get back into full time work or relaunch my business this year, will I get sick again as my work was what put me here in the first place. Work I have done thus far has been part time within the mental health services, therefore, when I have needed timeout, it was understood as my condition was known.
I have had several jobs. I am not affective though either.
Usually they end up aggravating my symptoms and I quit. All the ones I haven’t quit I got fired from.
I own my own business. I seem to do okay with that but don’t make enough money. I am looking for another job right now.
I just got my disability back in Dec 21 so I don’t think I have any trial work months. I think if I can make it six weeks without getting fired from a job I feel pretty safe at it.
I have to stop listening to people so much because I have serious problems and cant keep a job I just get so frustrated with people that have such a shitty attitude. Im almost too sick to go to the store and buy milk. Dont trust anyone i say
