Thanks, @susan48 My GP called back a little while ago and i am seeing him first thing in the morning.I'm not worried about it, my mood is fairly low right now and so i feel nothing. I think she had to legally tell my GP also so that might have been why.

@feir glad your seeing your doctor tomorrow.
You moods low and having a review of PIP , sorry if it’s not a review, will make your mood worse.
At least the assessor did something right then and hopefully the same assessor will award you what you deserve x

I won't hold my breath for the PIP award but at least she was good at doing the assessment and didn't make me feel like i had to do anything. But yes the assessment itself did make me feel low also. Don't think it was a review because i've never been awarded anything yet. Think i will go to sleep when my son comes home, sleep is good.Thanks again @susan48 hopefully my GP helps and i can be back to coping again.

Hope it goes well for you first time though - sounds like you had a good assessor.

susan48 said:@feir, how did your doctors appointment go ?I didn't want to go so i put a status up on facebook asking if anyone would come with me and my friend replied so she came with me.Been referred to mental health services out of my town and got to be there tomorrow morning and i think my boyfriend can take me (my tax credits got stopped a few weeks ago so i've no money, that's been sorted today but i've got to wait a couple more weeks to be paid yet). And was given some sertaline, which helps depression, panic attacks, sleeplessness, and PTSD apparently so hopeful they will help.I still feel low but not expecting instant results obviously. I'm probably going to get therapy also because there's a lot more stuff i need to sort out than just coping with being disabled,Thanks for asking.

@feir, at least you’v got a good caring friend to support you.
I hope your MH appointment went ok. It’s difficult but I’m sure it will all help.
Yes the medication will take a little time to work but hopefully not to long.
You take care -
