Not many role models
I'm not quite sure why I'm posting here but thought it might be good to vent a bit if nothing else.
I don't really know anyone personally who also has schizophrenia, and I don't have many role models or know of many stories of people who have this illness and have still been successful. Growing up I'd been told I was smart and that was the best thing about me, now I'm not quite sure I'll ever be able to hold down a full time job. I mean I'm studying full time so hopefully I'll be able to eventually, I think I just wanted to know if there are other people in a similar position or if there are people who have this illness but are able to work in a professional field and be financially independent? Keen to hear if that's possible and if others have done this before.
