INTRODUCTION:
Many people who have at one time or the other suffered from mental breakdown have had to cope with loss of job, change of job [career].
This is a very difficult period in the lives of so many people who have to go through this stage.
Being employed in an occupation in the company of co-workers, associating and relating together is the best tripod to lean the disturbed mind on.
There abound not many opportunities for these people in getting the job they are used to.
THE PURPOSE OF THE DISCUSSION

Share amongst member of the public coping strategies employed by many who have passed through this stage.

Barest minimum of their physical, social and mental abilities.
Also it is hoped that affected member of the public will be able to arrive
At a point in their life, accommodating the reality of
Their situation, such that whatever job, they may find themselves doing; they will strive hard to make it
Worth doing, knowing fully well they are still very useful to humanity in general and see it also as a stepping stone to recovery too.

Less stressful jobs with shorter hours; hoping to get back one day
The financial implication is that of lesser pay than they are used to.

Might need to relocate to start afresh again [depending on home situation]
Set to improve self esteem and insight
Set realistic and achievable goals; noting that no worthwhile success comes easy this will require efforts.
