Question about a therpaist's diagnosis

Posted by alan7065 on October 27, 2009, at 17:13:32

I'm worried. I had been laid off at a professional job because of the economy. However, my supervisor had told someone he wished he had seen more from me. Anyways, I had gone to my therapist and told him I might then lose my unemployment because I hadn't searched for jobs and UI had called me in to check. He said I should go on disability because he saw a pattern of not meeting standards. I had lost a job prior to this after two years for making lots of errors during the busy holiday season. I mean, I held the job for two years, making 50,000. I know i have problems with anxiety and depression. He said because of childhood abuse and trauma, I alternate between panic and learned helpless, neither being very effective at dealing with my responsibilities. I am so sad and discouraged. I start a new job this week and his saying this to me makes me feel doomed. Is it possible he said this because I was jobless and he thought I would lose my unemployment? Was he just being practical or does he really think I should give up? And does one therapists comment mean he is right? I understand you all don't know me and you are not doctors but any positive comments would be appreciated. I am diagnosed with depression and anxiety by the way and am on Pristiq.
