This is never easy. Understand this very much. Please can I ask have you spoke to Welfare Rights or CAB regarding your situation.
I had and still please can I say this . Reassessed. So many times myself.
Know that certain organisations can advise as I have said. Have you contacted them.
Please can I also ask if you have a mental condition. Try contacting a mental health charity for support and guidance.
I know I had to do this myself.
Useful to fight for you and give support in so many ways.
I hope that is helpful.

I really hope things start moving forwards as soon as possible, but in the meantime there are ways to get extra help. Turn2Us' page on emergency assistance is a good starting point, with lots of links to organisations who may be able to help- have a look, and please do let us know how you get on.
But yes, definitely not alone. We're all over the web, in newspapers, on blogs... There are up to 200,000 of us who have been failed by the assessment-decision-MR process. And we're helping each other.
