    Albus , I read that pip would be cut for us with autism . I am terrified. I have other health issues but I hadn't contacted dwp for pip with them because I know they can give you no points. My daughter also on pip for it .honestly this making me ill. I just want to give up. How am I going to pay bills. I'm 58, so who would employ me, if I could work. Surely it's against our human rights to be treated like this, can't scope contact them. I can't sleep, with worry. Will our pip be stopped straight away.

    Another night of not being able to sleep. I just really don't want to be alive anymore. I'm sick of everything right now. I'm this close to attempting again. I really hate this gov and this country...

    I am struggling, wake up with knots in my belly tummy churning feel sick bowels up the wall too. My pain is worse than it has been too, I wish they would understand how the months of speculation has made everything worse for us. I've suffered with pain and physical disability for over 30 years and yet still have reviews every 3 years, I'm not going to get better as my nerve damage is permanent, my other illnesses are lifelong and deteriorating I have terrible pain daily and need help with most things but I would choose those over the mental anguish of the PTSD I developed a couple of years ago after the traumatic death of my younger sibling that I witnessed and all the processes that followed. On top of that my review papers came through just weeks after death and before we could have any funeral, the review took almost a year as did the inquest and investigations my anxiety has been on high alert ever since, my PTSD has been worse the past few weeks with all these changes and speculation. I fight every day to not go over the edge into oblivion but how long can you fight for when you feel the whole world is against you.

    Good morning @Fuji I just came across your post and wanted to see how you are doing. Please let us know you are ok. Lack of sleep always makes everything feel worse doesn't it. @Holly_Scope posted some info about wellbeing which might help you get through this difficult time. Take care of yourself and don't give up x

    This is awful bringing trauma back from years ago I understand what your saying a 100 percent I really do trust me we are all full of some many scary intense emotions that are to overwhelming it does seem bleak not going to lie but we have to see what's said with one eye open and fingers in our ears we have to put our faith in charities activists was a meeting last night with ellen clifford and many activists making plans not all is lost hold on in there I'm going to email my mp and say I want him to a risk assessment on me as I am unable to work and I want the people who are forcing me to have a duty of care he won't respond but I am

    I understand what your saying I really do its all consuming what they done to us psychology through social media is horrific they have left us all in a constant state of terror when emotions are high and run by fear its easy to see no way out it'd torture I feel the same it comes over me like steam train the panic and worry we transport ourself into like a movie playing out of all the things that could happen that's our past coming into play you must keep close contact with your gp they must be getting hundreds of calls about this today is going to be hard for us psychology but let's hope it's better than we think you are not alone we have people fighting for us and alot of activists are on lwcra pip so they understand let me know how you feel later

    Thank you for your message, I feel alright now. I read the green paper and I feel calmer now because it looks like my pip is safe because of getting 4 points in an activity. Lack of sleep definitely makes things worse, haven't slept properly in weeks. Been meaning to contact my community mental health team and chase my follow up appt with my psychiatrist because I still haven't heard from them and they said it would be in 2 months but its been 3 months now and no contact.. And i really need to speak to them because I feel like I'm falling into crisis again. I literally only got discharged from mental health hospital in end of Nov and I'm not really getting any support. Just sick of being in and out of hospitals, just want to be normal.

    I am so glad you are feeling better, I was worried about you. I understand your frustration with mental health services. I got a text this morning saying I will have to wait at least 10 weeks for my referral to CMHS. There are always people on this platform who understand and are here to help, or just listen. You are never alone.

    Yeah I feel like its been emotional torture for weeks now. Im not contacting my gp after last time. Last year I was in crisis again, my psychiatrist cancelled my face to face appt because he was ill. I literally got the phone call from his secretary as I just got parked and was waiting to go in as I was 30 mins early. I then tried my gp at 9am asking for an urgent appt for my mental health, the receptionist said I rang too late and there were no appt and she didnt offer any help or anything. I then tried to jump off beachy head the next day and got admitted to hospital for a month again. I've been out of hospital since end of Nov and have had no support from my community mental health team except for an appt with a new psychiatrist as my usual one was busy. I was told I would have a 2 month follow up but its now been 3 months+ and still havent heard anything.. I know I really need to talk to my psychiatrist but I hate ringing up the reception because they don't answer the phone and last time it took me 4 days to get through.

    10 weeks? thats way too long. I've been with my community mental health team for years now since like 2017 and back then there was no long wait at all. I was referred within 2 days. Things have got really bad now in terms of waits etc. I'm sorry you are going through that long wait for your referral. I think the reason why mine was quick referral back then was because I was sectioned at University so I was admitted to hospital and then came home and had crisis team and then I was referred.
