Applied for PIP

[Dan Wales]

Hi received my PIP letter today my anxiety and panic has hit the roof, have suffered with a physical disability since childhood and anxiety and depression since my teens, I am in my mid 30s now. Have anyone got any advice on how to cope with this anxiety and stress while all this is going on. Many thanks

Hi Dan,

Sorry to hear that your experiencing problems.

You should go see your GP in my opinion and explain to him/her what your struggles are and what things you are finding difficult to cope with. I don't know if you take any medication for your mental health problems but if not, maybe your GP can prescribe you some that may help you feel less stressed and more relaxed.

What I would advise is not to focus too much on you're whole situation with ESA etc... Try and find things that help you relax and that you enjoy and I'm sure all will be well.
