Just curious, does anyone else with a mental illness have difficulty keeping a job?. Sometimes I can’t tell if I’m just lazy or too depressed. There’s been times I’ve gotten overwhelmed at work or a co worker or customer would yell at me and I’d cry on the spot and leave early that day. Eventually I’ll end up quitting that job and it becomes a cycle. I’ve tried applying for disability benefits because of how sensitive and overwhelmed I am even with medication but it could just be a motivation issue as well.
