    Hello, and welcome to the forums.

    I'm so sorry to hear about how your step-son has been mocking you and the strain it's put on you and your relationship. I'm concerned to hear you mention thoughts of suicide. Do you know you can email Samaritans as well as talk on the phone? jo@samaritans.org The  here may have things to add.

    I can see you have reasons for your worries, but they may be magnified because that's what happens when you're depressed, as the theory of CBT points out. Do you have any professional support? Have you been to your GP recently?

    We all have weaknesses. Not talking much is not necessarily a weakness, although it may make it harder for you to be assertive. You're a worthwhile person. You're also not wrong to claim PIP: hearing all the problems people here have claiming it, it's clear you wouldn't get it unless you need it. I hope you manage to find some moments of relaxation today.

    Do please feel free to look around and join in other conversations on the forum too.
