Hi!
Hopefully I could get some advice on my Universal Credit claim, more specifically my work coach.
I was diagnosed with Agoraphobia and Emetophobia around four years ago, and I’m currently getting a test for OCD, which I think has caused the two.
My work coach is adamant that I ‘push myself’ past my boundaries just so that I can get to work, not for my own benefit. I’ve told her countless times that Agoraphobia exposure therapy is a slow process, that every further step I make needs practice because if I go too far past my boundaries, I can fall back to the beginning and have to start it all over again. She ignores everything I say about my health, and she kept giving me the cold shoulder, as if she didn’t believe a word I was saying.
I’m honestly considering ending my claim because it’s making my depression way, way worse than it already is, because I feel that she’s judging me constantly and refusing to acknowledge how severe my Agoraphobia is. What do I do?
