Symptoms symptoms
Hey everyone. So I’ve been unemployed for about 5yrs due to schizophrenia but I got an easy job last October that I only do on weekends. Last night I got some feedback from my supervisor about how I’m interacting with my colleagues and then I started having thoughts about my colleagues that connected to me to other thoughts from different frequencies if that makes any sense, and I ended up just going home and said it was for my mental health. I’m probably going to a take a couple of weeks off now and I’ll get a fit note next week which will inevitably let my employer know my mental health condition. I haven’t told them about it yet. There’s a staff party coming up too and I feel like I’m going to skip that because I’m scared of my colleagues now. Just last night a regular customer was saying I was very a conscientious person so this feedback about crossing colleagues boundaries has really made me spiral because I’m literally just polite, don’t say much, and get on with the job. Any encouragement or affirmation or advice would be appreciated. Thank you.
