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?
Congrats on your diagnosis, I don't have any specific advice but maybe have a good think about the type of work you feel you could do and would enjoy. Do you have any hobbies or interests that you could possibly turn in to self employed work?
I'm thinking about writing or maybe something related, proofreading or editing maybe. I can do that on my own terms from home which is definitely something I'm looking for.
