    Hello @meymay93 It's lovely to see you about the community.

    I'm sorry you haven't been able to get in touch with the mental health team.  Did you leave a message for them to call you? 

    Also, @chiarieds advice about re-arranging the PIP assessment so your daughter can be with you is good.  Would you be comfortable doing that?  :)

    Hi @meymay93 - I am sorry your daughter will not be with you when you have your PIP assessment because she has a meeting. Will your friend be with you for support anyway? Even if she cannot say anything, it might be good to have someone with you.
    Try not to worry, they just ask questions about what you wrote in your PIP claim form. Take your time answering, and ask them to repeat any questions if you need to. If you struggle, they will understand it is because of your problems. If you need a break for a few minutes, let them know.
    We will be thinking about you, and the assessment will be all over and done with soon. You can do this. It will be OK. :)

    I'm glad your friend can be with you for support @meymay93 :) 

    Try and take some deep breaths. The assessment will be okay. We've all got our fingers crossed that you'll get the support you need. 

    Has your social worker been in touch about getting a support worker?

    @meymay93 we are here with you now.  Have you made yourself a sweet drink and had something to eat? 

    Remember, the worst part is over and you have done amazingly well.  It's time to relax  :)

    Hi @meymay93 - I am pleased to hear from you, as I have been having troubling getting on to Scope this afternoon.
    As Cher says, do try and relax now, as the assessment is over. You have got through it, so well done.
    Try not to think about it now, and distract yourself with some music or TV. :)

    Hi @meymay93 - I hope you are feeling a little better now, and have read Cher's email. I have been through a PIP assessment too, and it is not nice to realise the problems you have. But you have got through it, and the assessor will realise the problems you have, so do not worry. :)

    Have the care team said that the GP will get back to you at all @meymay93?

    Hmm, what was the number you tried to text? The SHOUT number is 85258.

    I'm sorry to hear that you're unable to sleep. Why do you think that might be?

    I'm not sure why it didn't work then @meymay93 :( Maybe they were having some problems on their end. Do you have the Samaritans number if you need it? 

    Hopefully your GP will call you soon! Please do keep us updated. Did the care team say how long that might take?

    It's understandable that you were upset after the assessment, especially as you were on your own. Is your friend able to come and visit you today? That might make you feel a bit better. 

    I hope that you get a better night's sleep tonight now that the assessment is over.

    Have you been able to eat anything now @meymay93? I'd start with small amounts of easy-to-eat food that you usually really like.
