PIP decision

Hi all, I've had my assessment for pip last week, it was a trainee so she said it would take longer and have to be checked by her boss. So I still haven't had the text to say dwp has received it which means I can't yet request a copy.
I'm so anxious about getting denied and having to go through tribunal etc
I suffer severe OCD and have done since childhood, as long as I can't remember. Never claimed anything for it as never thought I would qualify, also means I don't work. Last at universal credit suggested me claiming so I gave it a go, now I'm just so anxious and second guessing everything I said to them. The assessment itself was as awful as I expected, they last was nice but I just ended up in tears when describing how it affects me, and how long it's had a hold of my life. It really hit me that this is all I have ever known, and I haven't lived a normal life. I don't go out, socialize, work or even just walk down the street.
Has anybody else claimed pip for OCD? What was the outcome?
TIA
