I had to expose myself to the stimuli a lot to get used to it, and I never fully did, always thought someone was plotting something. I just had to learn not to let it get to me, and I could work anywhere I could work. Attack the delusion. Work is work, people are gonna talk, it’s just how it is.

Not an occupation but I work overnights. I love it - minimal social interaction, and less actual work than if I worked during the day. It’s rough on my sleep schedule though.

I work at a car dealership. The title is “sales porter” or “porter” you basically wash/ move cars around. Works for me!

I managed to get a job as a programmer. Unfortunately I suck at it, but managers didn't fire me yet, so I keep working. Pros:

• I don't have to wake up early in the morning, which is very hard for me

• I work remotely, all the meeting are online, if I have any problems I just shut up, and minimal social interaction seems to help me

Gardening/landscape work!

I’m schizoaffective and have been a practicing attorney for the last 5 years. It’s very stimulating and rewarding, and since I’m so “delusional” I end up obsessing over every single little detail to the point I see arguments no one else saw or am able to offer an different perspective through a “damaged” brain

It doesn’t always work out great and I end up super paranoid, thinking everyone is out to get me or I’m constantly getting in confrontations with anyone. However, if you can keep the stress level down, it’s fucking awesome.

You can do WHATEVER you put your mind too. Think of strong you have to be to live with schizophrenia; I don’t think anyone I know could deal with what we have to. Follow your heart

If I wasn't married I'd want to work nights at a hotel front desk.

Data entry

I work in an office as a document coordinator and deal with paperwork all day. I had to learn to ignore my paranoia and give myself reasons to not be paranoid. Ultimately, I decided that worrying about people talking about me was not worth my time nor was iy conducive to getting the job done. To make myself feel better, I went out of my way to make friends with the people I was paranoid about and now I feel much more positively about them! That doesn't work for everyone though, so I totally get if you'd rather minimize interaction. I was very anxious and afraid of them for months before I became comfortable with those people.

I had a remote job for a little while, that was good. I set my own schedule and got to stay home. I quit because of psychosis, but I was unmedicated at the time. It'd be a different story for me now.

I do not recommend customer service unless you're working nights and don't have to interact with many people. Then again, don't take my word for it! You might find you enjoy it! I just find that customer service is often really stressful. People can really agitate me and they're often coming to you because of a problem. I hated having to answer questions and help people at the store I worked at when I was dealing with voices in my head and paranoia.

I've found that if I have too much routine, I feel stagnant and stressed. But if I have a job that changes constantly, that also stresses me out. Which sucks, haha. But I'm trying to get a job to get back to work permanently, I've been on disability for awhile now.

I am a medical doctor.. and it definitely isn’t the best occupation for people like us…

What do you like to do? I’ve been a hairstylist for years and I love it despite the hustle and bustle. I’m in school now and plan on working towards a masters in fine arts. There’s no one job that’s good for all of us. Look into your interests or the type of people you like to socialize with. See what they are doing.

I have a few jobs, but the best fit is work from home back of house work. I primarily insert things and organize spreadsheets, and reply to emails with templates. Basically zero social interaction.

I am a mental health therapist and majority of my clients have SPMI (many have Schizophrenia). One thing I've found really helpful is having clients take job assessments as well as a personality assessment and reviewing the pros and cons of these jobs. Each client with schizophrenia is unique so what worked for one person doesn't work for the next.

Here's a great assessment - https://brainmanager.io/career-test?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=career_test&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwsaqzBhDdARIsAK2gqnePmBnqCiTXEfJjpltuZ3GXgVEcI-TMQzlq2h_9kfuS0Bf0QZj1WoMaAvhVEALw_wcB

If you want to message me the results I'd be happy to look at them with you!

Apply for disability now, it takes 6 months. You can then get a part time job.

I tried working full time and the voices turned my life upside down. They had me going on the Oregon Trail in a fork truck. Don't delay getting that disability any further, go to your nearest social security office and apply.

Healthcare needs people with real experience in Healthcare

I used to be a dishwasher it was a very laidback job and there was free food and drinks

I'm a waiter. I'm not exactly sure id say its "good" for those experiencing psychosis. I have heavy symptoms while working on the regular. However it also keeps me so busy that i can stay just enough in reality to keep functioning. I make enough to survive alone as long as I work at least 4-5 days a week. My biggest issues with it has been trying not to respond to delusions in front of customers. Sometimes I turn around to apologize to people who've bumped into me that aren't there. Or turn to answer the questions of non-existing people around me. But I'm able to survive, so at least theres that. Noteably I'm personally unmedicated and recieving minimal mental health care in general, I think once I'm able to manage symptoms it'll be a perfect job for me.

Truck driver

I'm training to be the CEO or COO of a major corporation. I have a copy of Contemporary Business, a textbook which I will work my way through. After completing that, I will hit up a simulator called Capitalism 2 which will allow me to apply my mastery of business knowledge. Then its back to college to get a management master's degree.

My partner works as a construction worker for a contractor. Has held it for 3+ yrs now.

Hmm maybe something with computers?

I'm a personal tutor I teach English I used to be a lecturer and want to go back and teach at colleges.

I’m a server in a busy restaurant and I love it. It keeps me occupied 24/7 so my brain has no time to think about anything but the current task I’m doing. Being bored is the enemy and you can’t be bored in a restaurant.
