verging on a breakdown..

Today marks the 3 year anniversary of the death of a much loved friend, so I was already feeling quite emotional.

The postman drops a letter through my door, one look at the envelope sends me into complete and utter panic.

The reason being, this is yet another appointment date for yet another work capability assessment.

My initial thought after reading? I can't do this anymore. I am so sick of being forced to endure these soul destroying, humiliating, demeaning assessments.

I so wish I was well enough to work, physically and mentally, I really do.

Hope I find the strength/courage from somewhere to see me through..

Thanks, The Lawyers And Advocates don't Know Me that well, And My Own Dad presented more evidence against Me. I thought I may lay low, for 2 years, then go on hunger-strike, If they still don't think I'm "well".

Laying low sounds like a plan, just for now and to give yourself some time to heal. It's very hard to be well without good support, so use the forum and keep believing in yourself.
