Guilty for not working, being lazy? Fed up with you?

[lefer]

Does anybody feel that you are guilty for not working? Like the doctors and someone else find you are lazy?

I have schizoaffective bipolar type, but never had hallucinations. Only disorganized thinking.

I have tremendous anxiety and sometimes depression.

Also, does anyone feel like everybody else is fed up with you. I find people don't listen to me.

I often  feel guilty for not working..

I'm on disability and feel like I should be contributing more financially to my mom..

I have so many expenses outside of household needs..and don't get much from disability..

They really don't care about people..I swear..

Also I feel worthless that I messed up so bad that I can't work because my mi took over..

I had a lot going for me..then just lost my mind..I couldn't hold on..no matter what meds I was on..

I feel guilty for not contributing to society..

I know I shouldn't feel like people are fed up with me but I think my brother is because he rarely talks to me..

I feel lazy because I can't accomplish much..my days are filled with mediocre tasks..then I still end up sleeping most of the day away..

I wish I could leave the house but can barely do that without my mom..

It's a daily struggle..

I understand where you are coming from..

I often feel very guilty for not working and start researching job openings only to think to myself, I can barely get out of bed most days so how am I supposed to maintain regular employment? Or if I do leave the house it’s never alone 90% of the time. I get too paranoid. And driving makes me very incredibly anxious. I can only drive to a handful of locations and only day time and only through town. 

Plus I don’t have any work experience but crappy retail store jobs. High stress, around people all day, counting out money/change (I’m bad at math), I wouldn’t last a day in that environment with the SZA bipolar disorder beast and bad anxiety I have which has gotten worse over the years. 

I too feel guilty for not contributing to society. And I miss my old co workers when I was able to work part time more than 10 years ago. I have never been able to work full time. I’m very sad about this.

Yes, I feel guilty for not working. I worry that people think I'm just lazy. I know that they know I'm unwell, though.
