these are 2 of myy worst symptoms right now, along with no motivation. I've also been seeing things and blinking and they are gone. im on a low dose of loxapine because i just started it but i was previously on 160mg latuda. i am paranoid about the police all the time and i think my parents are monitoring me. i just turned 19 and i just got a job today at a fast food place. im scared i wont be able to handle it, i had a job before but it was way different/

Hi chasms, I'm sorry you're dealing with those things. I think it's possible that working at your new job could be a good thing. I work in a restaurant as a line cook, so I think that it's similar to a fast food line. Although I don't know what you're job is, the thing that might help is that it's basically repetition, which will help you with your memory. Once you get the steps down, the doing of it will help the remembering. And since it's fairly fast paced there's no time to say, "I have no motivation to do this," you just do it because you have to. As for mixing up words, you'll find that a kitchen has its own language of sorts, and usually it's best to be the quiet one that listens. I find myself outside of work responding to people in kitchenese. When someone tells me something, I say, Heard! If you do mix up words, they possibly won't even notice. I hope the job works out for you.
