At least you get it over early. xx (Ok I know, not much of a silver lining)
You are going to be ok. You are not a fraud. You are worthy of financial help.
Si is going with you isn't he??
Praying for you. Xx

[Strugglingmum]

Thinking of you. You can do this.
We are all with you in spirit.
You have Si.
You are not a fraud.
You deserve this help.
You are stronger than you believe you are right now.... yes you are!!
I believe you.
I believe in you.
Tears are not a sign of weakness.
Praying for peace that passes all understanding for you today. X

Sorry guys! I'm rubbish. Paula is out and is resting. She's OK, but exhausted.

Hi! Thank you so much for all your comments and SM, you made me cry . I’m definitely exhausted and have slept most of the day asleep. I’m still shaking like a leaf.

Anyway, it’s done. The assessor was actually ok - he wanted facts but didn’t challenge anything I said. Si was awesome and took over every time I lost focus and couldn’t answer. When the assessor said he was going to do a physical exam I was worried but all he did was ask me to show if I could do this, that or the other. He got told ‘nope’ quite a lot lol. I was emotional, too, especially when he was asking about any suicidal or self harming thoughts. It’s so hard having everything put to you in black and white.

I’ve got no plans tomorrow, as I knew I’d need the time to recover. Sorry, I haven’t got the energy to look through what you’ve all been up to today, so I’ll talk to you all tomorrow

Thank you all for caring xx
