Sakuragi86 SG

Hi,

I am having trouble finding a suitable job.cause i down with a illness(anxiety and early psychosis) which requires me to go for weekly blood test at the hospital for 18weeks.but even after 18wks still need to go monthly or 6weeks.

anyone can suggest what should i do or what sort of job should i be doing that allows me time to go for my medical appointments?

thanks for any advice.

how about a part time receptionist......

Anything as long as the employer is willing to work out something with you?

I used to have to go off for appointments regularly too, albeit not as frequently as you need to. My boss allowed me to go for them without having to take leave, because the location was near my workplace (hence going there and back did not take much time), as long as I continued working during lunch hour for that day.

Though... the dinosaurs in my department weren't pleased with it at all even though I stuck within the time I was given.

financial, insurance, property, direct selling agents are your next best few bets for flexible working hours based on your own time. should you want to get considerable sum of income from commission basis.

from the search result of this early psychosis, it is helpful for you since it is still in control..

while you're recieiving treatment, its best that you keep your minds busy with only healthy thoughts so as not to let illness worsen any further.

just go to any company and ask for part time positions if your doctor says you are fit for employment.

Early psychosis is schiziophrenic?

Anxiety is GAD or social anxiety?

Why don't you ask your psychiatrist to recommend you a job?

I know IMH got some jobs for mentally ill patients.

search results means the information that return/give to me on search engine (google in my case) that gives me information about the term "early psychosis" when i do a simple search on google.

I was recommended to the job club.But then i had to change medicine which requires me to take blood tests every week.so the person in charge say the manager of the company can't give me a permanent day off for 18 weeks straight.

And also i was not very sure whether i want to work or give tutiton i made a mess of things that my case manager and job club counsellor were all confuse of what i want.they ask me to think through over what i really want and dont waste their time and effort.

they mentioned about 1month for the medicince to take effect and stablise so i guess i got to ask them again whether there is job in 1 month's time.

why bother to repeat your situation/problem again when you already written it in your very first post of this thread?

so the problem now is that you have no problem finding work, just that you don't know if you want to work or not right?

than perhaps you can ask the doctor based on your condition, what kind of jobs are suitable for you..since they know about it..they can probably show/tell you in which direction you are suited for..

Where do you live?Maybe you can ask your doctor to write a letter to the day centre nearest to your home to work there.

Haunted Changi SG

I can gaurantee the pay you get from the day centre every month can buy you a handphone so it is a lot already.
