I´m in an employment program for people who are unemployed and have some kind of physical or mental disability. I´m diagnosed with depression and anxiety since some years ago.

I see a social worker within this program and there are also career coaches and several other people to help people find jobs and/or activities.

The problem is that those people don´t have the knowledge about mental health conditions more than the average person does and as I haven´t got the treatment I need, I react to things they perhaps see as odd or "unneccesary". That is, I sometimes get disappointed or feel they don´t understand me.

The whole situation makes me feel I´m perhaps overreacting and my social worker thinks like it´s just to "think differently" or "act differently". She doesn´t understand what my feelings and behavior come from and she gives me tips about how to think and questions why I react to certain things.

I can´t change social workers and the problem is the same whomever I see in this unemployment program as they´re not there for giving treatment but to search for jobs. But I have my mental health condition and it follows me everywhere, of course.

Does anyone have any support or thoughts on this?
