Would it be possible for you to look into volunteering as a starting point, to get a feel for what might suit you?

For instnace, you could look into whether your local National Trust or English Heritage sites, or community gardens which might need volunteers to help with gardening, which might let you work out whether that might be a viable job for you to look for

It's a good idea, but there still needs to be a risk assessment. These places are generally open to the public, and giving OP access to sharp objects in such an environment may (or may not) be an issue. OP needs to be discussing this with his mental health team.

I still think I was born in the wrong age. If I was born in the Medevil age I would probably be a Viking Lord by now.

Although to be fair, the OP only mentioned strangling colleagues. Perhaps he gets on fine with 'the public'.

Possibly, but you might be a 6 foot under Viking Lord - not sure they were noted for their longevity.

Diagnosis by the media. Must be true then.

Yes it is well known how Gordon treated his colleagues to get his own way. There was no-one, and I mean no-one, who was going to stop him becoming prime minister.

Very true. Have you seriously ever considered going into politics? Gordon Brown is a well known psychopath and look how high up he made it. Absolutely no reason why this couldn't be your calling.

You are aware that psychopathy is a severe mental illness and not something for you to make fun of? Is there anybody else you'd like to diagnose while you're having your little joke?

Of course it's not a joke. I'm showing that it is possible to get employment with psychopathy. There are many thousands of people in jobs with mental illnesses, it's not a barrier to employment.

I can't believe you're viewing Gordon Brown's mental illness as a joke, it's very serious but didn't stop him from being employed.
