Sorry you are having this trouble. I also have schizoaffective and I am not capable of handling a full time job right now. I also am not a candidate for disability because I'm able to work part time and they say you can't usually get disability if you're working at the time you apply. I've left work screaming and crying, been pulled over by the cops and had to have my husband come pick me up, etc.

One of my part time jobs is alone at night cleaning offices and it's not a paid-by-hour position so that helps a lot. I can just go as slowly as I need to and I don't have the added pressure of people around me. The other job I recently got, and it's a lot more stressful for me because it's working around people. But it's only a few hours per week so I am managing so far. I am a little concerned that it's not going to work out but I'm trying to stay positive.

I know how you feel, being around people stresses me out way more and the stress of it exacerbates my problems. I also got my degree online. When I'm in a busy environment I start to feel like everyone is out to get me, I hear secret messages in all of the conversation around me, and I panic. Wearing sunglasses helps me cope but I don't think I am able to do that in my current work environment.

Is disability an option for you? If you've had a lot of trouble keeping jobs in the past you might have success with your application.
