I can't give specifics on this forum. But a university has hired me to automate research. It is work I've done before and am eager to get back into... I've let the Dean know I'm schizophrenic and they have been lovely about it. Mostly I told them so they don't overwork me... I go psychotic at the drop of a hat.
I've been looking for work for 8 months. Couldn't even get a job as a janitor. Persistence pays off.
