Dear Fairmaiden64~
I hope by now your hassles with Centerlink have settled down and your regular GP is back, they really do ask the impossible with expectations thay are not willing to pay for. A heartless broken system.
If you don't mind me saying so I think your own expectations for yourself are too high. As you have mentioned you have Major Depression and Generalized Anxiety, OCD and other matters that are incridibly hard to cope with.
Yet despite all of these you are looking at tasks that a person free from these would find hard. You are doing in effect the same thing as that employment agent who berated you for not doing the impossible.
It is very hard ot set your sights at what is reasonable under the circumstances. Often just getting out of bed is a victory -it really is, something you can feel accomplishment about (I learned that the hard way:)
"Doing the best you can" is a very overlooked phrase, and you are doing exactly that, which is something to be pleased about. Please ignore those jobs and stick to essentials.
Please look for things you can do -no matter how small- and take satisfaction from that.
Remember sometimes it helps ot talk, even if only to vent, and our councilors are available 24/7
You know you are welcome here anytime.
Croix
