Hey all, anxiety going nuts atm, can you help turn it down a bit? hopefully.
2 days, 5 missed calls, private number, 3 yesterday, 2 today, all-around 12 -1pm, not a single message, i have PPD, so struggle with private numbers, but truth is, i was asleep until 5pm the whole week. I dont know what to do tho, i had BI polar episode with my career she's gone for now, i don't know who to ring, they won't even leave me a message, surly PIP or DWP would leave a message seeing the disorders i have and, i dunno try a different approach. suppose what im asking, was it pip or DWP, as 1 week ago they said they now have my claim. could even be my doctor, not many have mty number either, basically, ONLY professions i met past year, its a new num,ber and i have ZERO ppl in my life, so no numbers at all.
Sorry for the spelling, i really lost all will to live typing that i really have to stop now.

Hi @MrCook1234. When I missed a call to remind me about my assessment, the first time was a mobile number, they then sent me a text directly after. Was it a withheld number?

Hopefully whoever it was will ring again tomorrow, and you’ll be able to take the call. I understand that it’s difficult though.

Could you try turning your phone onto maximum volume so that it wakes you up if they ring again tomorrow @MrCook1234?
I'm sorry things have been difficult recently. Are you receiving any support for your bipolar disorder or anxiety at the moment?i had BI polar episode with my career she's gone for nowAre you referring to your carer here? Have you found or been provided with a replacement carer? -

Possibly its them. i missed a withheld number last week around the time of day you mention,then two days ago i had two strange mobile numbers call unsure of who so never picked up,i sent MR just over a month ago so may be it was them... @Leigh14 you mention a mobile number did they call your mobile or home phone from a mobile? just wondering.

That’s great news @MrCook1234

@MrCook1234 Brilliant news so happy for you!

That's good news, well done @MrCook1234
Regarding your mental health, it doesn't seem good at all that they'd diagnose you over the phone and then leave you without any real support. I suppose you're past that 12-16 week mark now too. I appreciate that speaking on the phone might be a barrier, but are you, or a loved one, able to contact your doctor to arrange an appointment or ask for an update? I think it could be worth chasing them up to ensure that you are on the road to getting some support, whether that be through medication or therapy.
Are you interested in trying any talking therapy? If you live in England, you can actually refer yourself for talking therapy through the NHS' IAPT programme.
