Hello everyone my name is Agnes and I'm posting on here as am at my wits end. Don't want to bore you with my whole story but basically I have been at home since February off work. It all started with depression then I began having panic attacks and gp diagnosed me with anxiety and now I think I have symptoms of agoraphobia as I am afraid to go out on my own and struggle even to go out with my husband. I am taking medication which I think has helped me with my depression and have started having counselling but am still extremely worried about everything. My main anxiety at the moment is the fact that my sick pay through work ends in 5 weeks and I have no idea what to do! My husbands pay won't be enough for us both to live on but as I am barely able to leave the house with him I won't be able to go back to work :( I'm terrified about what's going to happen and feel like a total failure that I'm still not better and am letting my husband down. I've looked into benefits but it seems that there is a medical examination involved and seeing as iI am unable to get anywhere I would be unable to do that. Sorry for the long rant I'm just looking to get my feelings out there and see if anyone can relate. Thanks for reading
