I did some reflecting on my conversations with her. While I understand it’s her job to help me find work and motivate me to look, I don’t feel that it is her place to tell me to work full-time. She said I needed to change the way I think to do it. I told her I always think I can do it every time I feel like I want to apply for full-time work but realistically it hasn’t worked. Because I get overwhelmed and anxious and quit. If I tell my partner this he’s gonna tell me it’s not her it’s me because I misjudge people very quickly so I am talking to you guys. Maybe I am being paranoid.

My employment specialist listened to the doctors. Here you get referred by one and they give an indication of the possibilities and limitations.

I have the opposite situation.
My job specialist wants me to do part time but I want to do full time.

She can’t force me and I don’t even have to work with her, but I want to find something and I need all the help I can get.

My psychiatrist told me to do part-time if full time is not working, but she doesn’t know him so probably is half aware of my medical condition.

I was supposed to speak to her on Tuesday but I have come down with a cold, so she booked me in for Friday. I have a feeling she thinks I am telling a lie, maybe she’ll be able to tell from my voice.

Also “you should’t care what people think” doesn’t make me not care what people think.
I used to have Zoom calls with my employment specialist. You could ask if she can do that.
I do the same with my pdoc when I have a cold or covid.

I agree. Just stay firm in your decision to work part time and don’t let her bully you into something that’s not right for you
