Hello @livdot and welcome to the community, it's nice to see you join us.

 

This is a very supportive and welcoming site to be a part of so I’m hopeful that you’ll find it to be a positive outlet. Feel free to have a look around and get involved wherever you’d like 😊 I have included below a few of the pages I’d recommend having a look through to get used to things:

• The virtual coffee lounge which is one of our categories, in which we play games and talk about general subjects such as hobbies and interests
• The recent discussions page, which shows an overview of everything happening across the community
• The categories page, which shows a full list of discussion groups on the community

If you have any questions at all then don’t hesitate to ask.

Sorry to hear of what you have been through and that you are struggling at the moment. Are you in contact with a GP or medical team about your condition so they can support you to manage it? Also, do you receive any support to manage your mental health?

In terms of PIP, I wish you the very best with your claim. This page on the Turn2Us website has some information about filling out the form, including some guidance about the sorts of things you should consider when filling it out.
