Going on claim

Hi all,

looking for some guidance from others.

ive been dealing with depression for a number of years now, and been on meds and saw psychiatrist for medications.

im still just constantly feeling flat, foggy in the head and just seem to get no enjoyment from things.

I’ve started feeling like I need to take a step back from work to focus on myself more.

I struggle getting through the day at work and I have to start studying again soon, which is already stressing me out. Last time I was doing study I was in a really bad place and started having bad thoughts. I’ve been putting off studies but have to start soon.

those who went on an income protection claim, how was your overall state? Am I being too dramatic about it?
