thats great news!

altho means all the worrying again in 6 months time, bad enough having it every year!

Thats what I thought when I read it was only 6 months. It's so stressful. They either thought that I wasnt that bad or they are just really trying to cut back.

I feel like Im having to justify my life here and convince complete strangers about my illness. Those that truly suffer would / should know each person suffers differently and how hard it is to be judged and called a fake. This thread which I orginally came to for help has caused nothing but distress to me which isnt what I need as those of you who suffer depression, anxiety and ocd should know.

I did wonder about you wanting to request a home visit emweaver as you couldn't go out, but then was able to go out on holiday.

Your explanations have given me some insight into the problems faced by those who suffer panic attacks, and yes, you are absolutely right, you do not have to justify yourself to anyone, but thankyou for sharing some of the difficulties you have.

Yes it's really informative to me too. I have a brother and he and his girlfriend are too sick to work. They will only go out when it is dark. They seem to go to TESCO or ASDA late at night.

They are getting into trouble at work. They don't seem to think that "smoking" is anything to do with it. No no nothing wrong with us! Funny how they can only manage out the door at night. after they have been smoking! Not drawing a conclusion. But similar?

I am still waiting to hear if i have to have a medical. I sent the IB50 back 2 weeks ago, they received it 2 days later and i have just sent in letter from my GP which they wanted explaining that i have to have a home medical. I keep having a panic attack everytime the post comes and phone rings thinking it is them. I wish they would put me out out my misery.

I am still waiting to hear if I passed or not. Ive had 2 payments since the medical but still havent heard anything. I dread getting up everyday to go see what the post is incase its the result. I wish they would let me know already! Im worried too incase they have sent it and its lost in the mail or something! I keep wondering if I should call.. not sure what to do really, I hate the waiting.
