Anxiety and depression
Hi, I suffer from anxiety and depression and I'm currently claiming ESA. I'm really worried that I'm going to lose my benefits because I haven't taken my medication for around 6 months due to the fact I don't trust myself around it. I've been struggling these past months and have thought about suicide and have attempted around 3/4 but have been stopped by my partnee

Your reference to ESA makes me think that you are from the UK.
Nevertheless it is important to see your GP immediately and local Psychiatrist (ask for referral if not seen before) to discuss your mental health issues and fear of losing ESA.
Best wishes.
