Please don't bash me for being on benefits, feel bad enough about it. I have to go to a health assessment tomorrow and I'm a mess. Anxiety is sky high stuck on the loo in tears. part of my problem is agoraphobia my support worker is taking me and I have diazepam from the doctor to help but I'm so scared. Has anyone got anything positive to tell me. Not sure why posting guess I need to get it out. Don't want to lean on my son as I don't want him worrying. If I'm not panicking about the appointment I'm worrying about having money stopped

Sorry i dont have any advice but just wanted to wish you luck.
I can understand your anxiety about the assessment as we hear so many stories of genuine cases being forced off sickness benefits and back into work.
I work and suffer terrible anxiety and depression along with the occasional panic attack, in a customer facing job this is sometimes an absolute nightmare for me.
I have to smile and laugh and force conversations with strangers all day long when all i really want to do i go home and curl up on the sofa and sleep away my days. I hope they dont take you off the sick or stop your money, i hope they understand the enormity of your mental health.
