Working while having Schizophrenia can be tiresome and emotional at the best of times. I tend to ignore all the classic symptoms of paranoia and anxiety for the most part.... but something builds up and - boom- something terrible will happen. For me, it's I am confronted about something. I hate being confronted mostly, because I don't think I did anything wrong. The whole issue is blown out of proportion after that. Anyway I am writing about how to deal with work stress. In the past, I turned to cigarettes and alcohol. But now, I can change my life and move on. I don't get stuck on the issue or person. I don't expect anything from them. I have accepted the fact there are people who will do anything to make life difficult for me, and I will deal with that accordingly, but move on quickly. There is no point in trying to change others. even people close to us can hurt us in our lives. It is often the case. So... when I'm having troubles at work, I don't blame the co worker. because it is all part of a greater whole- be aware of the people in your life and how they affect you... I have been reading  some shareposts and I believe I have a lot to learn from the other members. Thankyou for reading my posts.
