    I think I will stay put as the stress of it and the process of it is actually just too much it's caulsing me panic attacks and I can't process the information I'm a coward not the person I was.

    Hi @Thomas1938 and welcome to the community. You mentioned that you're really struggling to process all this information and, to be honest, all the uncertainty seems to be causing you some distress. Can I ask if you've made your support worker aware of all this and if there's a way they might be able to help you with the steps you'll need to take, just to make the process a bit easier to handle?

    Hi yes it's the weekend so he's not available. 
    I got so bad last night I had chest pain and had to call an ambulance one minute I'm sure I'm going to move confidently the next I'm sure I wanna stay I feel like I'm being wrenched apart by two sides of myself .
    I was actually sick and thought I was having a heart attack.
    I just can't decide as I've had a support worker for 9 years and before that a cpn. 
    I can't process well and correlate information and it becomes a jumble in my mind like being cornered in a situation caulsed by this horrible heartless government. 
    I'm sorry to trouble you I know I sound crazy but feeling trapped and wanting it to stop. 
    This situation is going to happen sooner or later and we will be migrated on to UC anyway .I was in a state when I first started esa and when I was changed from disability to pip I was actually suicidal I just can't react to change I'm super sensitive of any change . And I'm scared I won't have the same support at the other end I. Just not able to do these things for myself I don't read things right and cant process which caulses me suicidal ideation and it gets very distressing as then I act out .
    I'm so sorry for people having to read this it's like I'm monopolising you're time

    Hello @Thomas1938,

    Firstly, please don't apologise. You're not monopolising our time - you're expressing how you're feeling and it's up to others whether they read what you say.

    You don't sound crazy, in fact it sounds like all of these different pieces of information and the general situation is making you feel really overwhelmed. One thing I want to ask you about is your mental health - you mention you're getting support, are in supported accommodation and had support from a CPN previously. Can I ask if you have spoken to your crisis team about how you're feeling?

    I'm sure you're aware of Samaritans, but if these thoughts of suicide continue, please don't hesitate to reach out and speak to them on 116 123.

    How are you physically feeling today? Did the ambulance come?

    I'm going to send you a quick email (nothing to worry about!) so please keep an eye out for that!

    I'm in sheltered housing not supported. 
    I haven't had a cpn for years I only have a support worker my disabilities are physical as well as mental health sorry if I you misunderstood. Yes the ambulance did attend as well they did an ecg that was fine I was tachycardic but I think that a lot to do with stress.
