My anxiety is sky high atm hoping these tablets start to kick in soon.

Had a text from the ESA they've received my documents and will get back to me in 14 days so fingers crossed

Had a tough day today only managed just over 2 hours

[Paula]

But you did manage 2 hours, you could have not gone in at all ....

Well done for sorting the ESA - did you get help with it?
Remind me, how long have you been on them?
Have you spoken to your Wife at all yet?

I managed to sort the ESA tbh that's probably what's sent me backwards as it's stressed me out so much,work gave me a letter explaining they'd messed up my wages for the past 4 mo this and it was being looked into, I then got my clocking in sheets printed off which show I've not gone over my hours and printed off my wage slips I just hope it gets corrected. It took many phone calls and hassling to get all that work have been useless.

I've been on them since Christmas Eve and started taking Buspirone since Monday but my anxiety is sky high at the moment.

My girlfriend knows I've told her I'm struggling to get out of bed in the morning as I don't see the point and that I'm forcing myself atm. It's hard trying to stay normal at work and trying to blend in, I've had a few people say I've. Not been myself the past few weeks and have told them I'm struggling.

I know but it's the constant worry with work & if they see it like that, it never goes away.

I've still got 5&half weeks hol to take before March but they won't let me book it as I'm on rehab hours, they want me to book 8-9 hour days but then it takes me over what I'm allowed to do for the ESA which Is currently being reviewed.

Are you waiting to hear about the ESA?
Unfortunately it takes around 4 -8 weeks for anti depressants to get into your system and then the same for each time you change dose etc. I know it's hard, but you need to be patient. If you are really struggling re the busiprozone then do go back and see your GP and talk to them about it and how you are feeling.

I got a text message last Friday saying they've received all the information they needed and a decision will be made within 14 days.

I know I'm struggling just trying to get through the day and waiting for these tabs to kick in.

Glad that they've got everything now.
Talk to your wife lovely....

Didn't get round the posting last night as been spending more time with partner round her parents house, I got a call from the dwp and they've reinstated my ESA so I should get it backdated hopefully so that's a relief.

I've moved my appointment forward with the job centre as my ESA was due to end so hopefully I can find out what happens next as I need to work out how to use my work holiday as well with the ESA.

Moods still low but no side effects from the tablets so that's another positive as I had side effects with everyother ones I've tried

[Paula]

I’m so glad you’re spending more time with your partner, and well done for resolving the ESA stuff

[Suzi]

That's all really positive..
