I am struggling today too.Went to job provider as my year long medical exemption ran out and I thought I would give it a go.A assessor from centreline told me last year I would be classed as a disability where I would look for less jobs requirements.That wasn't past onto the job provider.I shouldn't had went because I knew I wasn't in the mindset and my attitude is not a positive one.After nearly 5 years unemployed I have no faith them.My anxiety is at a all time high,when I went in I felt no control over my life,and have the threat in my mind that someone is holding a g** to my head.No good to anyone.The medical exemption ran out last week on the computer it states I have 6 days left to look for 20 jobs.There isn't 20 jobs here to apply for did 1 last week,and I no longer can put myself through that and no longer see the point.I have been distressed all afternoon.I sold the family farm,moved away to get a job sat on my tablet applying for job after job ,no job,severe depression due to sacrifices made for nothing.The women at job provider chastised me like a child because I walked out on the stupid video about what they do including disability provider,then when I mentioned what the assessor said stated "they aren't really a disability provider.They have the freakin sticker on the window!That's why I have no faith in it.I am really struggling,all I did today was humiliate myself,plus I was constantly looking out the window there worried someone would see me.I have to go to my psychologist this week and see a doctor about a medical certificate to keep myself safe because at the moment I don't feel safe.I have being classed a disability because of mental health there are others who need it more than me,but I just handle life.

Thanks Flower
I am trying to put on a face but I know I'm not in a good place....At all.I am really worried about myself and the position I'm in.Waiting for a appointment with the psychologist on the cancellation list.Keep getting distressed and feeling a lot of hopelessness.Not going back to that job provider nothing but humilating.I have been on medical certificates for 12 months, applying for jobs,hoped I would get one.Hope you are hanging in there mental illness is a ******.
