On Limited Capability to Work but scared to get help with work search

Hi 😊

Last week I received a message from my local job centre about them helping me develop my skills and find work etc. I would like to work if I can manage it with my health but I don't trust them. I feel that if I tell them about all the things and hobbies I am interesting in they will use them against me.

Ideally I would like to be a freelance photographer because I am passionate about it and I think I could work it around my illness and make enough money to live on. (I currently sell stationery online but a good month is £20 profit.) Do you think this is something they would be able to help me with?

I just don't know what to expect from them and I am so weary after being denied PIP because of my hobbies. (I appealed and won.) I will be very grateful for anyone's experiences and advice.
