Hi @Peony . Yes, motivation can be a real challenge for some of us.
I’m not working now, but I went back to work for about 10 months until a short time ago.
For me, I think the key is to find something you really want to work towards. In my case, I was making a home purchase and needed the extra money for expenses related to that.
THis motivation kept me going for a long time, until we finally sold my wifes condomium and have been able to settle in a bit without me working.
I wouldve stayed working there longer but it was too hard on me physical. It was a mental and emotional drain as well, but if it wasnt for the physical, I wouldve stayed.
Anyway, point is : I would create some type of reward for working that you have to work towards. A purchase of some kind to motivate you to keep going.
Thats my advice. And welcome to the forum once again.

Hello, Admin? Or what does one call you?
Haha yeah thing is, my work is an unpaid internship for school so unfortunetly cant save up, but Ive been trying to work so that I at least reach a passable grade. Also like to reward myself by buying some nicer food instead once a month.
Glad it worked out for you and your wife, what did you work with if I may ask?

YOu can call me Admin or @SzSupportAdmin or Bowens, which was my username on the old foum or whatever you want. 
During my most recent 10 month stint I was working at Amazon as a picker.
Before schizophrenia I worked in the electrical field and did security work most recently.

Oke, thanks!
Those all sound like physically demanding jobs, amazing that you were able to work at amazon for so long despite the challanges.
I used to work part time at McDonalds in high school but I dont think Ill be able to do it again with such a phsyical and stressful environment. Security sounds even more stressful

I was sleeping and I barfed stomach acid into my mouth. That sh-it straight woke me up. Now I have a sore throat. I had to run to the toilette because I thought I was going to puke up food. The taste was awful.
I took meds for heartburn.
Freaking hell!

One thing I’ve noticed when I come off a med completely, or just taper down on a certain med, is that I feel emotions much more. Which has its pros and cons. Mostly positive though – I do get pretty irritable at times. Just something I’ve recognized with these meds
