    I'm so glad that you've got a diagnosis @Strawberry1. Hopefully you'll be able to get some good support. It'll be a confusing time emotionally for you but just let your feelings out. There's no right or wrong way.

    Let the tears flow @Strawberry1, there's nothing wrong with it. I cry all the time and sometimes in embarassing places! We're entitled to feel our feelings and you've just gone through a stressful assessment.

    I asked the assessor @Rachel_Scope about DWP stuff

    Been making calls but I dunno what to do

    Feeling so over whelmed at the moment

    Dont know if im strong enough to deal with them

    Theres some sensitive information on my medical records

    So im not sure whether to continue dealing with them

    Gonna take some time out @Rachel_Scope

    Things feel mind blowing at the moment

    Sending peace and harmony your way

    Maybe rest for today and tackle things tomorrow, or whenever you feel more up to it. There's no rush, you need to look after yourself.

    Taking some time out sounds like a good idea, it sounds like it's been a very full on and emotional day and a diagnosis can be overwhelming. Please be kind and gentle with yourself @Strawberry1

    It took me quite some time to process all my emotions when I got my diagnosis @Strawberry1, you'll be feeling so many different things all at once and that's okay!! We're here for you ❤️

    glad you got the answers you needed @Strawberry1 and you got told immediately.

    It's perfectly understandable and valid to cry.
