I wouldn't call my family my "caretakers." I've authorized two of my siblings to make decisions if I am ever psychotic again, or suicidal enough to try to act, because during those periods clearly I am not making good executive decisions.
I don't work. My tdoc finally talked me into applying for disability, and I was accepted. I wouldn't say I'm high functioning; I quit work because I was having severe anxiety and had a psychotic break. I do handle my own affairs day to day for the most part, however.
