Basically what the title says. I got my diagnosis on Friday, I'm a nearly 40 year old woman, and I have no clue what to do next. I already get PIP for longstanding anxiety and depression, go to counseling on a regular basis, and whilst I'm currently out of work, mostly due to my mental health, I'm already accessing schemes to help me get back into work and receive ESA. What else do I do?
i think you got everything covered tbh... there isnt much extra you can do that anyone can offer.
Yeah, it does feel like I've done most of everything that people have talked about already, in that I've done a lot of work with my counsellor on self awareness and acceptance, have already put what support I can in place and have a pretty well formed idea of what work will look like going forward.
I just wondered if there's anything else I'm missing. Before, the diagnosis felt like it's a big thing but now I'm not sure what I need to do.
