They want me to work so badly

I have schizophrenia, and thus, I'm not able to do wage labor. Yet everyone wants me to work. I live in a group home for the mentally ill, and I attend work therapy everyday. They want to make us fit for the job market, but I have zero motivation to work, or do an apprenticeship. I tried to work in the past and it made my mental health deteriorate severely. Most of the jobs are bullshit jobs anyways. The job centre wants me to work in a workshop for the disabled, which is even worse because those workshops are exploitative as hell. I want to become a field botanist, since botany is my hobby. That's honorary work, and I think it would satisfy me more than any desk job. Disability benefits are okish where I live.
