Hi. I have been on disability and haven't worked for 6 yrs now. I start school to train for a part time career 2 days from now. I used to react with anger,(big time) resentments or depression when I came up against adversity in work and life. I am scared I will repeat negative behavior when I go back to work. Does anybody have any suggestions for what to do?

Now to kind of hear that I probably haven't used the correct type therapy for what until now has been catagorized as severe depression is a hard blow because I so want to be over this problem it's not real. I am scared but also hopeful that finally I might be able to make somne headway with my stuff.

How you deal with this might depend on what you mean by adversity.

I had a boss that treated me like my Mom did, always putting me down, belittling me in front of others. I don't know about criticism and things like that.

Anyone would feel very bad indeed if treated like that, especially if it stirred unpleasant memories. The next boss might be better, if not move on as soon as you can.

But surely the fault lies with the boss not with you. The best way of dealing with this is to say that while you welcome constructive criticism, you feel that his/her comments are not helping you, but that their guidance and advice would be welcome in private. Not an easy thing to do, but they would find it hard to say no. They may give helpful comments that you could discuss and accept in private, or they may just continue to be destructive. If the latter you would at least know to move on.
