I know nothin I say will probably help but I know how hard it is to think of things to say when people ask about work etc?
"So what are you up to at the moment?"
What do you say?? "Nothing" "I'm a mental health patient" "Errrrrm"
It reinforces the fact that you feel useless.
I guess I just want to say the term 'recovery' means different things to different people. I'm not sure 'recovery' is the word I mean but what I'm trying to say is that we're all different, and comparing yourself to people who are working and/or at college/uni etc. doesn't mean you are any less than them. You are just different, and will find your place in your own time.
Words are just words - I just want you to know you're not alone, you have us on here. How supportive are your family? Can you talk to someone about how you're feeling today? Or pop into your local MH clinic, just to be around people who understand.
