Since this discussion about benefit cuts I can't eat, sleep or hardly breathe, I am having so many panic attacks. I feel sick. Since teenage years I've been on anti depressants, I have social phobia and severe anxiety and panic attacks. I left school at 14 for being bullied and beaten daily. I have PTSD. I never left the house my whole teenage years then age 21 I went to a party and met a man who was 39 and got pregnant the first time I ever had sex, he was abusive and frightened me To death, I had two kids with him, his left me with even more ptsd we've not seen him for years his disappeared and left me with two children. I was awarded LCWRA for social anxiety (never left the house without my mum, never beeb on public transport, always been on anti depressants etc) I think I have autism but never been diagnosed, i was awarded lcwra in 2021, and never been reassessed since and was awarded high rated motability pip, so I have a motability car, I am 31 now, and am able to raise my kids, one who has autism, I raise them with the money from PIP and LCWRA as I do not get money from there dad, I'm terrified labour will target us with mental health problems I dont know what I'll do if I lose my lcwra and pip, I think I'll end my life, I am so scared I Take my kids on holiday once a year to like Spain but with my mum as I do not leave the house with out her, I am scared they'll ring me and say if you have social anxiety how can you travel? I can't stop crying I feel like I am going to have a mental breakdown sorry just need to talk to someone

Hello OP, we are really sorry to hear you are feeling this way.
We hope you don't mind, but when these threads are flagged up to us we usually add a link to our Mental Health resources. You can also go to the Samaritans website or email them on [email protected]. Support from other Mumsnetters is great and we really hope you will be able to take some comfort from your fellow posters, but as other MNers will tell you, it's really a good idea to seek RL help and support as well.
We also like to remind everyone that, although we're awed daily by the astonishing support our members give each other through life's trickier twists and turns, we'd always caution anyone never to give more of themselves to another poster, emotionally or financially, than they can afford to spare.
We are going to move this thread to the Mental Health section shortly.🌺
