For a year now ive had problems leaving the home and it has gradually got worse.
I have had talking therapies over the phone that came to a stand still when it came to travelling for
further 1 to 1 sessions in person. My problem is I was on income support as I have a
young child and because I couldn't attend my appointments they suggested I should be on
employment support allowance as my problem would stop me from working anyway. So I applied
for this and it has been granted but I need a medical certificate/letter. So I rang my doctors, ive rang 1 doctor before who
said she'd come out but had terminally ill patients to see so id have to wait and she'd get back to me and never
did. So anxietyUK and mind ive been enquiring with since. So when I rang about this medical certificate all my
doctor was saying is unless you come in I can't do anything, which I explained how I have a panic attack and turn round
at the end of my street (because my panic attacks were triggered in a hospital its the worse thing that triggers them)
and how I struggle to walk further than 10mins from the home sometimes not even that. & all he replied was "well you'll
have to get on with it", spoke to another doctor who said "we don't come out for things like that" yet one doctor (above) from the same
surgery offered too and never did. So feels like they all talking rubbish to me. so now I'm getting no money either. which obviously isn't ideal when I have a young child to look after.
So I'm stuck in a rut, I have no idea when I'll be ready to go there or get there and im worrying i'll have no money by then.
Anyone had this problem before????
