A lot of people are really uneducated when it comes to schizophrenia. Its a debilitating illness. Most of us can’t work

I can only handle very part time work. I’m not working now but will need to if we want to eat. Our disability isn’t enough but it’s over the limit for food benefits. I am trying to get healthy enough to keep a job before going back to work

The problem with working for me is schedule, sleep, and daily fluctuations of symptoms. Some days I could work but others not. But I don’t know if I could work like every shift required which is the problem. You can’t know if you’ll feel okay or not to work when they schedule you. I don’t handle stress well either so I’d have to have an easy job. I liked my old job but was way sicker and just stopped showing up sometimes.

I’m the same. There are days where I want to/feel up to working, and then the next day I’m exhausted and can’t work. My mom suggested a gig job, but I’m not sure. DoorDashing would suck, IMO

Having a job your passionate about can make the trade offs worth it
