I'm really trying to understand my family's point of view I just wonder if there's a happy medium to my issue where I can do the job I want and still get the emotional help outside I need. I don't think I'm dismissing them I know that they're scared of how I'd feel if I accidentally caused harm. I just don't think me just ruling out every job that has a practical element is going to work for me because all jobs have a practical and physical element, just getting to the job it's self is a physical element. I think I just need to examine my life balance and readjust my routine obviously my body clock has gotten into a routine of waking up early, which I obviously hate as a night owl. I just don't think running away from studying is going to do me good because I really don't want that lifetime regret of never trying. Like that's what bothers what if I give up long before even examine my capabilities? Maybe I need to talk to careers counsellor or maybe I need more supportive and reassuring people around me. I don't think scaring me away from jobs is going to improve my concentration. I myself know I concentrate the worst in particular when I'm sad and inflexible.

I recommend working with career counseling or other vocational services to help you find the right fit. I am not sure which jobs you are referring to and why they says you’d cause harm. Are you talking like being a bus driver if you have a delayed reaction kind of thing? Like doing jobs you aren’t suited for this causing harm?
That’s why it’s important to work with some type vocational services. You said you are in school, what do you study? I recall awhile ago you studied to be a florist. It sounds like a great career and can’t really harm anyone in that job. What happened to that? I am not sure I understand what your family is trying to do? |

Umm, they just want me to have a realistic career choice I guess. I did floristry but at the time I was on Seroquel so I had to leave the course because I was always dropping buckets it ended up being an OH&S issue. I felt bad because one of the lecturers at the time was pregnant and she could of slipped. So yeah it sucked I had to leave and that's when I did general adult education cert 2 and then cert 3 in general adult education. Thank god I'm not on Seroquel or I'd still be dropping things on a daily basis and injuring myself. Also it used to make me kick myself when I was sleeping it sucked tbh.
