I've been in a long depressive episode and I'm still going through it. I struggle with my job and basically debate quitting with my therapist every week because I just don't feel like I can handle it, but I'm trying to stay there. I only started in February and even though it's really hard, having the structure of a job still helps me. 

Recently, my co-worker was promoted and is now my boss. She's a workaholic, around my age and experience level, and very focused on empowering women in the organization. Today was our first one-on-one meeting since her promotion and she wanted to know my career goals, how I see myself growing, and what I want to do next. I tried to say that right now I'm just happy to have a job, but she was clearly disappointed with that answer. She said, "I'm going to keep pushing you and make you uncomfortable, because this is important." 

In my earlier work experience, I would have loved having a boss like this - one interested in growing me and helping me reach my goals. But right now, it takes all that I have to focus on the job I have (and might hate too, not sure how much of that is the job and how much of that is depression) and staying alive - I have no interest or motivation to move on to the next stage of my career. I don't even want a career. I just want to get by while I struggle with illness and now I feel like there's something wrong with thag. 

Is there anything I can say to get her to get off my back about it? I do appreciate her trying, it's just not time for me.
