Feel like I've been accused of fraud

I recently attended a pip assessment, I suffer from mental health issues, and have a problem with my hip. I've been awarded 0 points, the assessor appears to have ignored what was said in the f2f. My anxiety means I have difficulty reaching out to people even on a good day, so don't feel there's anyone I can go to for help. I'm dreading telling the friend who did the initial work in encouraging me to apply (phone calls etc) because I can't do them myself. Feel myself slipping back into that black hole.

I'm so sorry to hear about your PIP outcome, and the impact it's had on you. I can only imagine how frustrated you must be. If it's any consolation, many of our community members will be able to empathise, having had similar experiences themselves.
