Re: Struggling with upcoming ESA re-assessment
The dreaded brown envelopes always turn my blood to stone, the thoughtless stress they cause with the questionable process doesn't do anything but create deeper mental mayhem, some have plenty to deal with getting through another week breathing and trying to stay afloat, I feel abysmal if I even attempt something positive over the course of a month, I feel like I should be shot by the government each time I stumble across a piece of happyness lol. We don't need the threats looming perpetually, it's awful, I don't know why somebody would choose to be at the mercy of these companies. You have my sympathies as I know what it's like. They barely listen to external opinion I have found, I hope they take notice of your therapist's words but you might have to go through the whole wringer until they try and understand it from your side.
