I really want to go to college, get a real job and get off disability. But can a person who hears voices that are sometimes disruptive do all this? Is there jobs out there for people like me?

I'm trying to get work right now (part time job). Should I tell the employer I'm a skitzo?

What do I do if i get disruptive voices on the job?

Thanks

If you are coping, you probably could work...although it might be difficult. When I am manic and hearing voices, work becomes the last thing I want or can do. Now medicated, the mania has subsided a bit, but work is still difficult for me.

I happen to work with the mentally ill as a case manager, so that definitely makes it interesting. The reason I mention this is because there are jobs out there as a peer-support...you would be working with others like yourself. If you are stable and housed, this looks good on a resume for these types of jobs. Where to find them? At your local social service agencies that work with the mentally ill

Only one way to find out- go for it! Blessings to you, may you be peaceful

PS- my boss knows all about my diagnosis, too...I feel hiding it creates too many potential problems.
