Expected problems if you tried moving into work, with support from a work coach: Huge distress leading to insomnia, paranoia and eventually psychosis- and probable eventual suicide.
Anything else to tell us: Sir Keir Starmer, Rachel Reeves and Liz Kendall has caused my severe mental illness to get worse and relapse to where I was about 5 yrs ago. Due to extreme fear - working with my heart pounding several times a night - I have no stopped the small amount of voluntary work I was doing on a mental health project. I am now extremely isolated as I am afraid to go outside especially in a environment that has been whipped up further to hate the disabled and I am getting more sick.
