Yes, that says it all. Will you be able to get a good recommendation
from this job? Is there a temp agency in your area that might give
you something for a while?

I think I'll be able to get a written and verbal reference from this job,
which will be a help.

I'm looking on the job sites at the moment to see if there's anything
advertised in this area and there are a couple of possiblities. One site
does mention temp jobs in the exact town I live in, but I really don't know
if I'm cut out for temp work. I'm such an anxious person that it takes me a
long time to settle down and relax in a role...if I was temping I'd never be
able to relax because I'd never be in a job long enough. I might call when
my time is up with this job and I'm free to start temp assignments.

I think I'll update my resume and contact the agency I got my current job
through. They do a lot of recruitment for my current employers and a good
reference from them might carry some weight.

I kinda want to stick my head in the sand and sulk for a while, but I know
that's not going to help me in the longer term.

Nice idea. Lots of times what a therapist says just
has no connection to Life As It Is, though.

Yup. I know about expectations (of success and failure)
and the relief of not working and the downside. It's not
good. Stability is better. Hoping you find it.

Sounds like grounds for a lawsuit under the ADA. Tell the story to your
psychologist and then contact a lawyer. ADA cases are handled on a
contingency basis, so it won't cost you a dime.

I'm in Australia where the government has recently brought in legislation
giving workers a lot fewer rights in relation to unfair dismissal, and
making any legal action very expensive so that most people can't afford it.

I know a little bit about employment law, and since my position has
officially been made redundant I really don't think there is anything I can
do legally. If I was able to take action and was successful all I would
gain would be either reinstatement in my position (which no longer exists)
or a payout of my average weekly wage x the number of weeks left in my
contract (which is only another couple of months). The amount of money it
would cost to do that far outweighs the best possible return.

x-no-archive: yes

Kylie, you live in Australia right? What about making several
appointments with psychiatrists and picking one to be your therapist?
That way you can get some rebate from Medicare and it won't cost you
an arm and a leg each time you go. Your current psychologist can write
the referral for you, or your G.P. will do it too.

I see a psych for therapy and he also does my medication. If you ask
around, you may get some good feed-back on a doc in your area. That
way you need not go without therapy when you need it the most. What do
you think?

Yep I'm about an hour to an hour and a half east of Melbourne.

I have a great psychiatrist in the inner suburbs who I still drive in to see
every couple of months (on average) who is a great listener. The time I
spend talking to him is usually a great deal more helpful than some of the
therapy sessions I've had. But he's so far away and doesn't have the time
to see me often enough (ie every couple of weeks) for therapy sessions.
He's the one encouraged me to find a psychologist or counsellor in my area
because he thinks therapy will help me more than a med increase or change at
the moment.

My current therapist does have an agreement with Medicare that if I can get
a GP to sign a form agreeing that I need therapy I get 5 sessions at half
price ($50 instead of the usual $100) and Medicare pays the rest. I haven't
used that option yet, I was saving it for just this situation. That and my
savings will hopefully keep me in therapy for a while longer. Assuming my
relationship with my current therapist remains ok (I've been critical of his
technique and he's trying to change his approach with me) and I can continue
to see him.
