Wanting to attempt employment, if it doesn't work would ESA be hard to get back?

hello everyone
I am new here so a bit nervous
What I would like to know is that I am a mental health service user and I am on ESA in a support group. I have been on it for more than 12 years and today, I would like to find out about the option if I go into work. I am also getting DLA but I think work will help me to get out of my house and reduce isolation. but I am too scared to take that step, what if I didn't like the job and found it too stressful. if the work don't work for me and if I come off the benefits, it would really put me in terrible position. any advice?

Also, have you looked at the Scope's employment service? They may be able to advise a little more.
If you do need anything else then please do not hesitate to ask!
