I am so frustrated @ how often mental health professionals act like problem is solved as soon as you manage to wrangle your mentally ill ass into any job even if it's only a 3 hour volunteer position that i struggle to get to on time.
Like, i still can't manage paid work, and i often return home manic/stuck in adrenaline and having a hard time winding down.
But the job is good. Need to manage stress. Most important for schizospec.
It's just annoying and being told you're "high-functioning" all the time even tho you spent majority of the appointment rambling, somewhat confused, fidgeting, staring out the window/no eye contact, (and muttering echolalia to self) so as to process what was being said. And my being painfully self aware of my symptoms etc does not make it any less real.. anosognosia is not fulltime!!
But as long as I'm not having hallucinations or suic*dal thoughts it's allg, right? /s
Like I'm grateful but they are trying to discharge eject- nay, yeet - me asap as possible like the hottest potato there ever was. (Ok that's not true they have offered some further support, but still it was an uphill battle and i am not doing my best today so i ended up with a headache) and once i am discharged that apparently stops my access to respite stays, which relieves tension at home.
I get that their hands are tied with the health system being in such dire crisis/shortage, and i appreciate what efforts they CAN spare, but it doesn't mean that it doesn't suck trying to get some support for your lifelong mental illness/chronic illness/disability/neurodivergence (yes all of the above)
