    I honestly wish I never went for the assessments,I went because of severeve anxiety and struggle to keep a job. I feel the nhs was quickly to diagnose me but support getting to understand audhd amd training to work in a quite environment doesnt seem to exist. mental health team where I live dont have any understanding  of my symptoms and keep asking me questions i cant answer,all I know is hhminds said im in a complete austisic burnout i need time and assistance overcoming my situation. 

    esa was a complete nightmare because I was so confused I felt he wasnt listening to me ,he kept leaving the telephone for advice and trying to get me to cancel,asking me question like how many times have I tried killing myself in the past months and how many times I go out on my own.
